    Lovely build of a lovely aircraft. The story goes that the aircraft, flying under the airline’s previous name “Gibair” went in for a maintenance check and the engineers christened it by scrawling “Yo” ahead of the titles - so “YoGibair” (as in “YoGi bear”). The nickname stuck - it was known as Yogi Bear from thence on - and was officially carried by the Viscount post repaint.

    Absolutely lovely - though per topic title I think it is an EC-135N rather than an ECN-135 🤔

    Same designer who did the Trident with a nose undercarriage leg under the centre of the fuselage maybe… When he was finally made aware of his mistake, he presumed every kit needed something offset from the centre. 🤪

    Good luck with the build - it looks like it’s off to a great start. I’d love to do an Airfix Sea Vixen, but not at the prices currently being demanded on eBay and the likes (I don’t already have one and I’m saddened that Airfix has chosen not to rerelease it but I live in hope). So I guess at some point I’ll have to bite the bullet and have a crack at the Dynavector I have in the stash.

    Great to see good old Spotty-M remembered with such a nice build.

    Well there were AMT kits and AMT Coffee shops, so nothing really original from Airfix 🤨

    Not sure I’m interested… Now if Airfix was to introduce its own gin, things might be different 🤪

    Wow, what a kit! Your plans for the power cart are interesting. If you’re going to rearrange the aircraft on your ceiling to make space for this(as you suggested in the original post), you’re gonna need one hell of a long lead from the power cart - unless this is going to be a new type of flying power cart! 😜

    Very nice job. I so very nearly didn’t click on this topic as the last time I looked at a Westland Whirlwind on here I got an obscure twin-engined World War Two era fighter. I’m glad I did look now - this is a proper Whirlwind in my opinion, and very well executed too.

    Splendid… I did George a couple of years early - plenty of Phantoms and also quite a few “Prams” (the nickname we used to give to OV-10 Broncos). One day I’ll get around to scanning my slides too!

    Yep, a 1/24 Carvair to go with the DB5 would be magnificent 😋

    If only they’d do a version with a tank, a snorkel and Erickson Air Crane decals… Wishful thinking maybe.

    You have a rather splendid collection of One-Elevens there

    …and further to @Timo’s advice, ideally you need a 747-400 kit with CF-6 engines as the Rollers that come with some look quite different. This means if you go for a Revell, British Airways is no good but Lufthansa and KLM are OK (I don’t believe the BA issues include CF-6 engines as well as the RRs).

    Watching with interest as I have a Zvezda C-130 near the front of the stash. Unlike you though I’m not brave enough to do the flaps - the Combat Conversions “Snoopy” conversion is plenty for me!
