Thanks John☺️👍

I have decided on my next subject - something I have wanted to do for ages but thought it wouldn't fit in my display cabinet - I measured again and I think I can just squeeze it in - any ideas? 😎 Mosquito?

If you extend the opening outboard to the edge of the part,then thats more accurate.its a large squarish hole that extends the full width of the roof of the mlg bay above each oleo.

Looking good there,nice to see a picture of XV295,my favourite Herc,i was involed with the modification fitting the llltv camera below the front window and the the turret below the radome,a great job to be involved with.Concerning the undercarriage,there is a ball screw attached to the top of the oleo assembly which goes up through the roof into the area below the wing.There is an opening above each oleo to allow the leg to be retacted up through the roof of the bay.There is no beam across between the top of the oleos but all the way up just below the wing at the top of each ball screw is a gearbox that is indeed conneted to its neighboring oleo and the drive motor.I hope this helps.

Thankyou so much Kingsman,thats a very excellent answer to my query.I was wondering about the star and assumed it was removed post war,so thanks for confirming that,I find the immediate post war period fascinating,an often neglected period. Thanks again Neil

Many thanks Robin,i will see if i can get a copy,i really appreciate you looking that up for me . Best regards Neil

Thanks Selwyn 😊

Hi,i was wondering what colours/markings post war British operated Jeeps would be.Am thinking of a European operated vehicle.Would they have stayed in olive drab or would they have been repainted,Would RAF ones been repainted Blue for example and what sort of unit markings would they have.Also how long did they stay in service for after the war. Cheers Neil

I have the old testors Spitfire 22,the wings being rather thin and a few other problems and i thought it would be a good way to use this kit,waste not want not and all that.Thanks for the heads up re the photo.Can anyone remember which action stations book its in please. Thanks Neil

Can anyone point me in the direction of a photo of a belly landed Spitfire 22/24. Thanks Neil

Amazing work,i would like to recommend a book called...... Return-to-flight: Space Shuttle Discovery Photo Scrapbook: Written by Dennis R. Jenkins, 2006 Edition, Publisher: Specialty Press It has some useful of pictures of both the shuttle and the 747 carrier,some good pictures of the tail fairing too. Just looked on Amazon and its there for a ridiculous price but you maybe able to find a copy elsewhere. (Little update,ebay has a copy for £21 at the moment) Neil

I managed to get an MPC Shuttle Tydirium in the Hattons sale.

Hiya,would anyone have both the DeAgostini and Bandai A-Wing models.I have read that the Bandai kit is over scale and the DeAgostini A-wing is around 1/72 and am wondering if someone could take a photo of them side by side so i can see the differance. Many thanks Neil

I would put Red Top on or go for an updated mark 2 airframe with sparrows and sidewinders on it.
