whif just by the livery, but its shape with jet engines above the fuselage is remarkable enough ...  ;)

It's the A Model 1/144 kit, and it's REALLY good too! Cracking looking aeroplane, and good in blue too Ericr.  :thumbsup:

I wish they'd do the A-40 Albatross in 1/72 too, but I'd need a World Bank loan to buy one!
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! :)

I have one of the 1/72nd scale ones, started it and put it away as I wasn't in the right fame of mind to complete it. Difficult kit in places and every part has to be dry fitted first regardless of how it looks, as it is a nightmare. I would attempt to finish it but I still need to pluck up the courage to finish the bba-14 I have by modelsvit.

Oooh, is it 1/72? It's ages since I saw mine, and I can't remember exactly.

I had my hands on the same beer glass... but opted for the coffee mug instead.  I didn't want ericr to think I was just stalking him...  :wacko:
Thanks!

I saw some pictures of an Anson floatplane in South Africa, so was lead to have a try at it :







the kit is from Special Hobby (a bit too high quality for my skills) and the floats from a Twin Otter

Rheged

As used by the South African Antarctic research people??
