All 3 look great (but I'm very chuffed with how nicely the AW.58 has turned out and that it'll become a museum exhibit) - well done!

Mind if I reuse that image again in the customer build galleries elsewhere?

The Skytruck is without a doubt the absolute Dogs B*&^%$£s.   :thumbsup:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Nice builds Martin, particularly like the Skytruck  :thumbsup:

As an aside you may want to peruse the March edition of Airfix Mag (it dropped through my letterbox this morning). They've got Coventry and Warwick's featured in their Club Scene piece but have cocked up some of the contact details. Apparently you meet on Dartmoor ! So unless you've all been sent down they've cocked it  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Martin, does the AW58 have anything to do with the Hans Multhopp designed RAE Transonic Research Aircraft, it looks a lot like it
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

I based it and the delta on this article from the Aviation Historian magazine

I know some of the lads might look like they have escaped from dartmoor but not knowing their geography is unforgivable as far as the mag staff are concerned

Nice stuff but I am really interested in how the build went on the Skytruck as I have been thinking about grabbing one for myself?

It was quite straight forward to build.
Not much room for nose weight thou. This thing will tail sit at the slightest excuse.....
