Right at this moment I don't have a clue what my builds are going to be. I've got to get my modelling mojo back first, as I haven't even touched any models since Tellford. In my defence December has been a bit of a busy month and all. Guess I'd better get me thinking cap on and break out some styrene!

Shouldn't you be planning for 2011 in that case?

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! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Ahhhhh the friendly banter of overgrown schoolboys who play extensively with plastic kits..... and I'm honoured to be one of them. Al, you know we'll be stopping off at the Euxton Arms on the way back from Bolton..... I'll happily break into the famed white fiver - but only if you're driving

but, returning to the topic....

just started an airfix canberra BI.8 that will get the B-57G bits courtesy an old C-Scale kit

Thanks to Mossie with some info on possible engines to steal and plane view showing wing modifications, I need to add the T-34T Twin Mentor to my list.  This was Stargazers idea and Damian made some profiles that got me interested.

Now I need to find an old Hasagawa Mentor kit and someting to modify the nose with.
