Operation Cosford 2012

[kitbasher]

Hanger two
Single seat Gnat/Midge

On it already, and I can confirm the other two.  Would love to squeeze in an FD2 but I doubt I'm able to.  Depends on whether I can get a PM Mirage 5 or even a cheap and nasty Mirage III this weekend.

The following need conformation that they are going to happen/are under way

Jaguar ACT/Mitsubishi T-2ACT (offered by Nick P)

If I am to do this I will need ETPS markings*. There was a raspberry ripple Angel Interceptor (sounds like an ice-cream! ) at MK and he said he used the decals from the TSR.2 what-if sheet so if anyone can donate that I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise it'll have to be in RAF camo as the first in-service trials aircraft.

*And a steady hand for painting. And good white spray paint. And good pics of the Jag.

If your doing Peterborough, I can sort out suitable raspberry ripple decals for you

[Martin H]

So long as it can get to Cosford, Then it can replace the prone Meteor

[JayBee]

[Nick]

Martin, I shall see you at the Peterborough show!

[PR19_Kit]

OGL, the JP6 is well under way and all parts are to hand. Paint scheme sorted and I have plenty of decals for it.

Also the PR19b is equally 'under way' for the High Flyers section.

[Later] Precious little time to do the unclaimed ones though. Are there any suggestions for the five unclaimed replacements?

[PR19_Kit]

Overnight I had an idea of how to replace the Spitfire PR19. And it could be a relatively quick build too, but I'll have to extend the wings a bit....... 

[kitbasher]

I'll have a look at a old Airfix Lightning F.1A kit and see if an SB5 can be hurled together  from the bits.  Saves buying a Mirage! 
Update tonight.

Now, why does that not surprise me

OK.  Airfix Lightning sans radome, leave the belly tank but have a shortened fin plus triangular T-tail and SB5 paint job.  Should I have a go Martin?

[Martin H]

Feel free mate
No harm in having more than one option to choose from
