Thanks Mossie,

Doesn't a train run right past Leuchars airfield, near St. Andrews, Scotland?

[Mossie]

Yeah, it's pretty similar to Finningley (now Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, talk about a mouthfull!) & Leconfield, the railway runs right on the perimiter, several hundred yards from the end of the runway.

indeed so.

also i don't know if it is still there but in the 1980's i recall the base had a siding from the mainline
to recieve tanks of aviation fuel (amongst other things).

further, the GWML runs past the back of RAF west drayton (as was) and the railway from wolverhampton
to shrewsbury passes RAF cosford.

Now how does a Yank from the California desert (me) know about THAT???

Maybe the towel from Tom Morris' shoppe hanging on my golf bag would give it away!

All In 1/72nd scale

F-84/F-86/F-100 - Build these as early aggressors for the Navy's Top Gun Program. Would be easy for the Navy to get the F-86's and maybe the F-100's but maybe not so much the F-84's. Besides if they can use them as bad guys on the TV show Airwolf then it only makes sense to give it a try.

F-16A/B/C/D - Build these in squadron markings that don't exsist. F-16s for the 55th FIS based at Ouffitt Air Force base in Bellevue Nebraska. Green/Yellow checkered tail band and an OF tail code. Got to keep SAC safe you know. The 155th FIS based in Lincoln Nebraska Red/white checkered tail band Tail Code LN and Nebraska painted at the base of the Tail Fin.

F-4U/F-8F/F-6F/F-7F/A-1 Skyraider for the RCN during the 1950's I know others have done most of these already

Same as above but for South Vietnam with out the A-1 Skyraider.

F-82 in SEA markings and larger load out.

AH-56H Cheyenne (Updated with a lot of Apache bits and weaponry)

You too, eh!  I was doing mine up as an AH-56E Basilisk USMC gunship, with a new rotor, new tail rotors based on the Apache's (cut down Apache rotor as the pusher), additional Apache engines (to make it a three engined beast), three pylons per wing, nose sensors, new canopy (hate that greenhouse), and new belly gun.

I also began work on my SH-61B, taking parts from an Italeri SH-60B that was missing some parts.  Will get new rotor, new tail rotor, the MAD, torp pylons, nose sensors, new engine inlets, belly radar, and the sonobouy dispenser.

On my ever growing wishlist would include the Airfix Nimrod as I already have a P-3 and the Atlantic Br1150.
I saw a picture of a Ford Capri MKIII hearse once. Now I'm looking for a suitable donar in 1/24 scale.

Academy will likely never release the RB-29H in 1/72.   That's the B-29 that was converted to extra long wings with twin Allison HaT-65K^* Turboprops and used for high altitude research and surveillance.   At least in my mind it was.

Great! Now I've got an image stuck in my head of a B-29 with two monsterous "humpbacked" turboprops and a RB-47H nose! You'll be hearing from my psychiatrist and bank manager! 

Seriously though, great idea! Please build it!

Beyond what I mentioned earlier, I've got Finnish and Argentinian Harriers in the works and plans for alternate upgrades for various 1st generation Harriers that incorporate much of what was done on the AV-8C as well as a few other upgrades.  I figure at least some will be in RAuxAF markings while others will belong to new users of refurbished (much as AV-8As were refurbished into AV-8Cs) units (RAAF, RAN, et al.).

Ah yes, the 'Big Brother' of the USN's P3B-1.
