So who's got a decent printer to make a scale 'Coming Soon: JCA' placard????

Maybe one of these instead:

- P.1216 (the idea being that that progressed to at least a flying prototype in our alternate universe)
- BAe Replica

Was going to bring ny DHL yellow submarine and a TU154 in BOAC livery for the non alternative Cosford table if thats OK ?
Everything looks better with the addition of British Roundels!

Taster. Not bad for an afternoon's work, even if I do say so myself....



I'm getting around the cockpit time delay problem by doing it "gutted": just a pair of seat rails. The idea is that the unused aircraft kicked around for a while and got used as a donor for other projects, before being saved from the scrapheap for the museum.

Aargh... the gloss white paint is still sticky to the touch. Was hoping to get the first coat of red on this morning but it'll have to wait till tonight or even tomorrow.  :banghead:

Progessing on mine, although PSR has been wanting.  I'm on round two, but the kits winning at the moment.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thinking of space, why didn't we include the UK's first Lunar Module? Or would that go to Hendon?  ;D

Hendon's the older stuff which is why I prefer it. The Lunar Module would go to Cosford  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Phew, that's saved me a fiver for now Martin, although it has sown the seeds for a future whif!  Or two, in fact!!

What time do you want us all to be at Cosford by on Sunday, by the way?

P.1111 decals now complete.

I think I'm going to call the single-engined Lightning the EE P.7D (if you see a problem with that, please speak up). PSR is nearly complete and has gone very well... ;D
