For those of you old enough you may just recognise this. The Armstrong-Whitworth Anderson nicknamed 'Tracey' by its crews.

Great model and quite inventive.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

I see the landing gear now has wheels.  Much more useful than those skids the TV version had.  The radar nose is an interesting addition.   Looks good!   :thumbsup:

I can't recall seeing any of those at Lyneham in the 60s, but perhaps they were all away down the route at the time........  ;D

CRACKING bit of modelling there Bungle!  :thumbsup: :bow:
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! :)

Regards

You wouldn't have seen them.  They were kept in a cavern below the Officers Mess, a lift took them up and the front folded down to created a launch ramp! ;D

Great work Bungle, love it! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
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.

That is a serious bit of kit....
