Sorry Paul, I've just watched that video. 6lb field gun at 75 rounds/minute - blimey. Just shows how strong the Mossie was.

Nice, shame you didn't depict her with bomb doors open and a weapon load! :-o

Have you started work on your 1/24 Mosquito? One of these days I'll add one to the stash but I've run out of space currently!!

No, not yet, it is sitting safely in the loft(hangar) awaiting my attention. There are loads up there and I have yet to finish the Harriers I was working on! ;)

Next one off the production line ;)
PM Sea Fury T20 .
Done in the scheme of WG655 as she currently is now operated by the TFC at Duxford .
Nice kit [the Airfix Sea Fury FB11 (page 3 of this topic) is the PM FB11 re-boxed] but the decals [especially the roundels , no white so had to raid the spares box] are a bit ~x(

I was having a break from IA for a couple of weeks, but, it'd be remiss of me if I didn't point out that the valiant is now on sale on the airfix website.


I've just ordered four :)
NB; Any negative comments I post about the Vulcan are posted SOLELY to wind Gregg up!

Great work, I have the AIRFIX CLUB kits up in the loft, looks like they make up in to good representations, love the Mig camo!

I came home from Duxford with a Tamiya 1/48 scale A-10 Thunderbot to add to my stash. Was very tempted by a Trumpeter 1/32 EE Lightning F6 but I reckon I could have bought it cheaper elsewhere!!

Only choice actually!

It will be (hopefully) done for ATC Wing Training Day as the 'set kit' which the modelers have to make :)
