Armstromg Whitworth Blue Gibbon MK4
150 Squadron, RAF North Sutton 1961

Just a quick one, got the Missile Saturday. It's actually a Pegasus snap together 1/48 V2 , so went in for a little scaleorama, went together so easy i just knocked the base up to go with it, the cars are some of the fantastic Oxford dicast's.

Not got a back story for it as yet but it will fit with a kit my sister in law is getting me for Christmas so it will be mentioned then.

hope you like it as much as i did

Nice one, and very credible because there were all sorts of scaled-up V2 proposals knocking around after the war. 

The Oxford diecasts are nice, arn't they? I noticed the other day that they're doing a Green Goddess fire engine in RAF markings now: that's got to have all sorts of diorama possibilities.....

I am liking the missile Tim,
Are they still available to buy, and if so how much are they? I want something like this to make into a lunar shuttle carrier for my SHADO stuff, it would make an excellent target of opportunity for the UFO's don't you think??

The Gibbon instead of the Thor missiles actually used by the RAF, then?

Thor was not purchased by the UK in this timeline, instead going with the Blue Gibbon, Black Knight/Prince and Green Buffalo ( a future build )

Got an Aerotech Harrier concept on the way as well to partner the Atlas 

[thedarkmaster]

So mate where abouts is Aerotech based so i can fit it into my mental map of world aircraft manufacture's ?

I'm guessing it's UK based but does it have out lying facilities in any commonwealth country ?
