Another skunk works special the SR 71

[Sooty655]

Very nice

Is that another project in the background, tantalisingly out of focus?

[Xplumberlives]

Yes, very nice, looks like a KC135 in the background!

[Cluny]

Superb
Id love to do a SR-71 , but il most likely convert it to an unpainted Project Oxcart A-12 just to be different

[Tonka 71]

just finished this one










Thanks for looking...

[Dan4th]

Are you trying to make us JEALOUS

Bee-Yoo-Tee-Ful!

Ok so its not an aircraft but thought it would be of interest anyway.

Time to open the stash and start work on an Airfix Prairie Tank. I'll add some build update photo's as I go but for now here are a couple of general pics

[Cluny]

Cool

Heres another off the production line , 1976 boxing of the Airfix 1:72 ME163B Komet rescued from the kit collectors at Modelkraft a couple of weeks ago











I was quite surprised that the decals settled so well considering they are 6 years older than myself

[Cluny]

Revell 1:72 ME262-A1 .

[Xplumberlives]

Vot is your facination viv de Luftwaffe?

[Tonka 71]

Here's my Hwk 100 demo, finished in the primer that all hawks take their maden flights in...

[Cluny]

Latest of the production line , Airfix 1:72 DHC-1 Chipmunk T10 .
I couldn't wait any longer for Airfix to re-release this kit [its now 12 months late] and found this on Fleabay [first thing iv'e ever won and Iv'e been on it since 2005 ] for £5

Not bad Von Clune, I used to fly them hundreds of years ago!

Nice one, Paul. My Dad used to tell me about them.

Really great to see all these built models - I have a loft full of them from the 80's all unmade in their boxes. Must have a look through them some day. As for the Chipmunk - I've never flown a tail dragger. As for the Prairie Tank - lovely model looking forwards to seeing it built

[Blue_2]

Love that little Chippie, brings back some happy memories!
Thought I'd share some of the old kit restorations I've been doing. A friend was tasked with disposing of a collection so I rescued a few of the models.
Firstly the B-29, before

And after

F-102 before

And after, as QF-102

Starfighter before

And after, in US colours. With a restored Luftwaffe one to keep it company too

I've also been busy with an OOB build of a Matchbox Jag

And 2 Meatboxes. Both Mk.III's, I was given the kits but decided I didn't want 2 the same so I raided the spares box and converted one to a Mk.8!

And, seeing as someone else has brought up the subject of railways, I've also been busy restoring most of this little lot to presentable, running condition

[Xplumberlives]

Nice to see the "MINI" restoration projects you undertake!

[Blue_2]

XPL, I don't know why but I don't seem to be able to say no to a lost cause. Like this Airfix Invader...

Came out like this







And that is a genuine colour scheme, a weather research unit IIRC. I didn't just make it up, honest!

[Hydealfred]

Very nice work Blue - pity I didn't know you did this as a mate of mine disposed of loads of his models in a skip a couple of weeks back - I was horrified as there was some lovely stuff in the mix.

I've never considered salvaging "Dead" models that I see at our local car boot, all the time. I wish I had now, these are great!

You've seen my house, Clare's pretty good about such things

She is, but there's NO ROOM for any more!

I've been thinking about adopting a rotation policy anyway. Got some others in the loft I've not seen for a while
