 Just got around to looking at these...mercy, thats lot of nice work. I like the British B&V 155 and the
high-altitude Tempest? Typhoon? ( The Bristol hybrid, anyway ).

Does anyone know who did the Kalinin K-7?

Thanks for taking and posting such a cornucopia of excellent pics! (and thanks to everybody else too!)

There are a huge number of awesome models herein, but these particularly struck me. The air crash one is superb and reminded me of pictures of the Stockport air crash that happened in my home town in the late 1960s. By way of contrast, the display team ones are so uplifting and joyous!

Lastly, is that Miles M.100 a scratchbuilt or a kit?  :wub:

Sadly I didn't see that Miles Student.  :-\

But there was at least one kit of it available some years back, I think perhaps one of the X-Plane Series the shop in Hastings produced?

Maintrack's Protojets series?  Yes, that's the one.

According to someone on ARC, the Zvezda T-50 will be out in Russia on Nov 26th. Next Friday!  :party:
So maybe keep an eye out on evilBay or the likes.
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I'm disappointed that my Alternate Spitfire collection (on the IPMS Tyneside stand) hasn't appeared in any of the photo essays on t'interweb...

They are far too subtle Lee. Nobody, me included and that was after you told me :banghead:, realised what they were seeing.
Brilliant they were, but you need to become a bit more radical to get noticed.
Whatever, brilliant work :thumbsup:

More piccies, from AeroScale by Andy Brazier. http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=3558


And another collection of pictures that includes only the competition! There's so much else to see at shows in general and SMW in particular. I don't think I've seen one report that includes overview photos of ALL SIG/club stands.

How about posting piccies here Lee? Then we can all wonder at them.  ;D :-X

I would but unfortunately a court order says I musn't.

Subtlety is what I'm aiming for.  These days, it seems any clueless arsewit can twin an aircraft or add 56 sqn markings (those bloody cheqquerboards...) - indeed, it's becoming what if shorthand, the lazy modeller's easy route to whiffing and so utterly depressingly common that even the good ones are boring the hell out of me.  Does no one ever think about what they're doing these days?  It would appear not.

Something so subtle it blends into the background but just looks odd enough to perturb the viewer into thinking something's wrong but they're not quite sure what. That's what I'm doing now.  Even second line whifs are far more preferable to showy 56 sqn toss.
