Muzzle loading?

Ah yes, you could pull them back inside the hold to load them. Will you have drop down hatches to cover the gun ports when it's mot in 'fighting mode'?  ;D

HMS Meteorite? Now that's an unusual subject. (German Type XVIIB sub powered by HTP driving a Walter steam turbine, scuttled at the end of the war, then salvaged, repaired and used by the RN for trials)

Wasn't the Meteorite the predecessor of the Excalibur and Explorer?

Trumpeter do (did?) a 1/32 Max, so it's cool to see one a size smaller. I've not built Mikro-Mir, although one or two of the aircraft kits are on my List.

Good news! :party:  I'm quite excited about the Beverley, I didn't think we'd ever see an injection kit.
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's looking VERY promising.

They must have sent a delegation to Paull to get the interior detail sorted, which means it'll be OK to saw the rear doors off and mount them open. Or leave them off altogether, so long as we can scratch up a pair of the small wind deflectors on the top edge of the door opening.

Latest pics on the Britmodeller thread show the clamshell doors as seperate parts.  Due date in three weeks, before the end of August. :party:

As an ATC cadet I remember an annual camp at West Raynham where I watched a Beverley take off, then turn downwind and then "fly across the sky". That phrase has never before or since meant so much about the slow sedateness of flight.

When 47 Sqdn re-equipped with Bevs at RAF Abingdon in the 50s, they were a far cry from the Hastings that they'd previously flown. The general opinion around the camp was that the Bevs were 'Blocks of Flats with wings' and that they were SO ugly that the Earth repelled them rather than the wings generating enough lift to get them airborne.  ;D :lol:
