Jim,

I'm sure I saw one of those at Lyenham once........... :)

OUTSTANDING, and in the true spirit of Whiffery. Did the Tynes come from a Heller C-160, and if so what have you got planned for the rest of it? :)
Nope.
The model is 1/144 scale A m0del kit, and the engines were scratch built. Thw outer shell was from a couple of bombs/drop tanks from the apares box. I cant remember which. The inner bits were length of a plastic drinks swizzle stick, courtesy of British Airways. The scoops underneath were cobbled up from something, and the props come from an Airfix Vanguard.
What is happening to the Vanguard you ask. Wait and see, but it does involve Aeroclub Shackelton contra-props.

Jim,

NWDTSM.......... :)

It occurs to me that's a VERY old acronym that went back to bulletin board days.

Means 'Now Why Doesn't This Surprise Me'.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

That's the biz, & the Tynes are a touch of class. :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

How did you find the Amodel kit to build? (he said nervously glancing at his ACLS Buffalo....)

Not bad, not great.
To build it straight from the box, for an accurate scale model, well, a bit of hard work.
As a basis to play with, not bad at all.
Not a lot of filler needed, but then it is not that big a model.
Overall, not a shake the box and out pops a perfect replica kit!
