Captain Canada

Skyhawk pilot wearing his survival suit for the long over water sorties.

Long term borrowed the radome and winch from an AFV Club Sea King.

Radar pod from my Mariner build.

Tip of the AAR probe is one of the sprues where a piece was cut off. Close enough for me to!

Captain Canada

Adding a little cockpit business. Cut off spruce ends for the pilots and nav, and a piece of square tuning scrap cut for the instrument panel. It will be pretty dark in there so not bothered. The crew will have orange survival suits and white helmets for a bit of colour.

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! :)

There were proposals for Nimrods based on the VC10, so it could be both.

VC.10.

I need to stop drinking and modelling. I totally messed up the flaps ( even the I found great references from an aftermarket set ) and I did the landing gear backwards !

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 .

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