Respect for that camo...

The poor fellow... but the unwritten rule of scratchbuilding of buying expensive resin kits... after years of doubt I went for the Anigrand LUN... 2 months later takom annouced a plastic aarrghhh (but it also got into the stash somehow...)

Nice by the way... always nice to see...

Or holiday....

But thanks for the trip down memory lane... haven't watched them all yet (in time, or my boss will complain), but these are really nice. Thank you for restoring the fotos

I'm sure this particular kit was on the market before Trumpeter even existed. ;)

Later researches suggested that this was originally an LS kit from '84.

:lol:

Can't beat a composite aircraft pairing. A new RAF Mistel , perhaps? ;)

Given the relative simplicity of the kit, it has come up a real treat. The Eagle Airways red truly makes this one stand out on the shelf. :mrgreen:

Given the trials you are experiencing with the Blinder, I think the company name might be more appropriately adopted by...

I love the Komet and, like Andy, have a penchant for the odd captive or three. And we all know just how many of these captives Winkle Brown got to fly! Given your aversion to airbrushes, I have to admit that the hairy stick has certainly worked well in achieving the mottle here,...

At one point, the Eduard site had all manifestations of the Mk IX listed as Discontinued . Latest news is that it now reads Temporarily Unavailable for the ; actually, all of what remains in features the same advice. As your great little collection more than ably reminds us, it...

Loving that fuselage-long snaky thingie! Aunt Ju is an all-time favourite of mine, despite all the fun trying to mask straight lines over the corrugations. Someone suggested the type for a single kit GB and I reckon it would certainly test us out. ;)

Quite a bizarre little beastie. Looks the goods! :D

Excellent work and very informative. :mrgreen:

I've got the ancient (1968) Airfix by Craft Master release. The decals were very yellowed and despite 3 months of Australian summer UV radiation stuck to the window of the study, they didn't improve sufficiently to be worthwhile...

12 weeks, David? Put me down for 12 months! :oops:

Missed by a bee's whisker ... work will always poke its proboscis in at the most inopportune moment. Nevertheless amazed how much you got done in such a short time. Of all the tasks, the one I'd be most fearful of is the...

Couldn't agree more, Matt. What's better than one Shackleton? A duo! :mrgreen:

Very different looking pair of Fishbed-J's. :D

No argument about that. The earlier models were not too bad but then the prices just became INSANE. And having to buy any weapons separately such as for the Viggen, nope not happening.

Much as I like the F-35 family of aircraft, all the fussy fiddly mechanisms to achieve a vertical take off and landing, I cant help but think the F-35B is the idiot sibling. So much extra to go wrong. Plus its pretty much a two poster VTOL unlike the Harrier four poster so...

F-Rsin 1/144 Dassault CC-117 Falcon, 414 (EW) Sqn., RCAF, 1977-89

Looking really good. I especially like the prominent canopy det cord and the work on the upper inlet doors (something I am always too lazy to address)

I always found the J-Wings/Algernon models to be slightly chunkier and more robust compared to their F-Toys equivalents. Just...
