Just received from Hornby

1 x 1/72 Airfix A02025V Beagle Basset 206
1 x 1/72 Airfix A02108A Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vc
1 x 1/72 Airfix A04002V Fairy Rotodyne

Partly because they had a sale on and I don't have these three kits

NO! :(

Here you go. Unfortunately the camouflage seems to work quite well with a background of people!  ;D

Yeah! That's the one Ratty, thanks.  :thumbsup:

It was pretty impressive the way he'd posed it coming tight out of the 'flying' stand AT you!

My two wee Chinooks showed up today, all the way from the Netherlands. Cheaper than driving an hour North to London, ON and buying them 🤷�♂️

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Cracking kit, that 1/144 Chinook. I've got half a dozen of them to go aboard my SS Atlantic Conveyor, eventually..................

Wish I had taken a lot more photos, but as you all noticed I was still feeling pretty weak, just walking around was an accomplishment. All better now!

Glad you're better, Ratty.

That Lanc *is* impressive.

Just come back from a friends' place, with: (all 1/72)

Cooper Details Spit 5-bladed prop
Aeroclub bucket seats and control columns X2
Aeroclub R-2800
Falcon F-8F Bearcat canopy
Falcon Sunderland canopy set
a couple of random jet transfer sheets, gotten for the warning triangles
and a sheet of White US Air Force/Navy/Marines lettering (there may be Army there also); this will enable me to carry on with a US Navy whif that had stalled due to not having the white lettering. So Yay!

It's out at the Big H and I must admit I'm not sure about getting one or not ? It's not my period, but I've always liked the aeroplane. Umming and ahhing at the moment, but if there's a box available at the London show it may well follow me home  :angel:

1/144? :unsure:

I could use them as sales models in my 1/35 CH-47D. :wacko:

It's very good.  But it needs spinning props.  Either actual ones with motors or fake ones with discs.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I think the Big Lanc did have motorised props, but they didn't run all the time.

Received today from Airfix Upgrade Sets on Facebook, otherwise known as Tony Little

Several upgrade sets for the Airfix Gloster Javeling FAW.R



I still need to get the Airwaves etch set and Master probes for the future build though.

At first glance, this looked like a power station from a slightly dystopian future...............then I examined it more closely.
