Just a quick question and not to drag the thread too far off topic, but if the war had dragged on, would Atlee have been the PM ?

PM sent, hopefully explaining.

Back to topic -

Took delivery on monday of a kilo of moulding rubber from Tiranti.  6 hours later, a tidied up and corrected Pegasus Spiteful (second tooling) is in a mould that's curing.  

Last night, monster casting session and I now have four Spitefuls with parts to do them as the hybrid hooked version.  The first one is already part assembled.

Looking ahead, the next one I fancy moulding is the Spitfire TR.8. Or possibly the (unbuilt but proposed) TR.18.

Just won on ebay

Frog De Havilland Hornet F3. 
Love that kit. Another long term restock.

From ebay: Pegasus 1/48th snapfix V-2 rocket.

Snapfix or not, this is a really nice kit with good surface detail and really fine, sharp fin edges.

I have it in mind to scaleorama a V-2 to make a 1950s style rocketship, with a line of N-scale (1/148th/144th) passengers waiting to board it. I was going to use the Revell 1/60th V-2, but since this one is bigger, it's better.

As is usually the case.......

From ebay: Pegasus 1/48th snapfix V-2 rocket.

Bit of creative cutting and some scratchbuilt wings, and you've a 48th Miles M.52

The Pegasus V2 builds nicely, just a bit of filler required....I have plans for one not finished yet....replicating a comic cover.

Strangely my idea came to me this morning and an Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Mk I was purchased. It will go with my 3D models Mk II conversion. And yes I know Airfix now do a Mk II but I had the conversion set from last years Telford
