Think I might make a trip in that direction one day soon. It's at one end of what was RAF Barton Landing Ground, used for training the Air Transport Auxiliary. https://www.abct.org.uk/airfields/airfield-finder/barton-in-the-clay/


I wonder how long they have been there as it could have been easier to get there from RAF Henlow than to go into Bedford

Somehow managed to win a Fujimi F7U-3P off of eBay. Was really expecting greater competition. I even started mocking up a quasi-Cutlass using a MiG-19 with a T-28 canopy & Super Mystere wings, in case I got outbid (still building that btw). So yey.

No idea what to do with it. Hellenic? Turret testbed like the F-89 & F9F that were treated to such?

THAT I can believe, yes. :(

A review of the Optica kit would be good Jim.  ;D

The RS models  Messerschmit  me 509 arrived this morning, very nice looking kit , but the aircraft is a lot smaller than I expected it to be. It will be something completely different from what it should be of course  :thumbsup:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Received today from eBay

1 x 1/72 Airfix Hurricane Mk.1 A01010A boxing. Will be almost OOB but a different aircraft I think.

Took the last opportunity for a month to go in a model shop.  Came away with two Airfix Vintage Classic kits:

1/76 DUKW
1/76 T34

Also picked up Vallejo's Fairy Flesh Set for some figure painting, from another shop.

I'm putting together the Duck as we speak, to kick my mojo into gear.  it needs a little smoothing of the joins, but it's still a nice  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.
