Virtual Telford 2020 releases

[The Wooksta!]

Aircraft in Miniature also do a Skybolt conversion with the A head, but they're only available from Hannants and nigh on twice the price of Colin's set.  I do have a set on order with my LHS when he gets back from Venice.

Black Dog do the missiles themselves, but Hannants will stitch you 18 notes for a set, which comprises 1 missile and a trolley.

Personally, I'm sticking Colin's set under an antiflash one and if I can find the markings for 230 Operational Conversion Unit, they'll be ideal as training rounds - there had to be some, or would have been.

I've got the artwork for a 230 OCU badge which I used on my JP6 a short while back,  if that's of any use?

[The Wooksta!]

I know I've a set on a Modeldecal Vulcan sheet, but it's a 1980s camouflaged aircraft (and I did a late 70s one anyway with 617 sqn).  I've a feeling there's a different one for anti flash aircraft.

Modeldecal Set 70 is Vulcan B2 - 9, 12, 27, 35, 83 Sqn + 230 OCU  in Anfi Flash White,

Modeldecal set 71 is Vulcan B2 : 9, 27, 35, 101 + 617 Sqn: 230 OCU in Cammo, some some in three colour and others in wrap around

Airdecal did a set for white Vulcans, which I believe has a 230 OCU option.

Lee's right, 230 OCU's badge while in anti-flash was a Yorkshire rose on a blue shield, to show it was based at Finningley.

The HS125 Naval courier conversion, would it also fit the Matchbox HS125-600 or the Sword U-125A?

Hi Kit, there a picture of the longer replacement radar nose for the Naval Courier version of the HS.125. The accompanying text reads as follows

"Another sneak preview of a 1/72 conversion under preparation. In addition to the Naval Courier proposal for the HS.125, the brochure offers a Weapons Systems trainer. This is my interpretation, in service with the Fleet Air Arm from the late 60s onwards. Fitted with the elegant nose from the P.1154RN supersonic Harrier which was cancelled and replaced by the F-4K Phantom. Image shows the radar master, Both HS.125 sets are planned for release in November. Should keep the IPMS What-If SIG happy!"

A small correction, the radar nose is not for the Naval Courier, its a separate set for a Weapons Systems trainer for the P.1154RN.

My apologies Colin, my misreading of what you had put on Facebook....so you are telling me I'll need ANOTHER HS.125 kit! 

[Freightdog862]

Not a problem, yes you need ANOTHER for sure!

What a salesman, eh?

They sells themselves Kit! I've just had a customer of mine on facebook query if there is a market for such things when 'proper' subjects (i.e. real ones) could be done, some people....

Some of them will NEVER understand Colin. Not like we enlightened ones anyway.
