I did my basic training on Vampire T11's,they were in pretty good condition in the early 80's.When the College closed they were sold off,pretty sure at least one of them was badly damaged later on but I often wonder what happened the other ones.

Lovely to see those Swifts,shame more of them didn't survive.

I think Red Dawn had a Puma helicopter modified to look like a Hind helicopter.

I hadn't seen that,thanks Toby,I want one even more now 😊

Thankyou Andre

Perfect 😊,will keep my eyes open for one of those, many thanks 😊 🙏 Neil

Thankyou everyone,I shall put one on my wants list.I have an urge to do a washington and have seen the Enola gay kit a few times recently so was wondering if it would suit my needs.I rather like one with the lower half painted black,but will have see what decals I can find. Thanks again Neil

Just a quick question,is it possible to make an RAF Washington from the Accadamy 1/72 Enola Gay/Boxcar kit. Apart from the decals of course, is it a complete B29 or have some of the bits from a standard kit been removed from this boxing , Thanks Neil

Ok,I am in,the Jag is an iconic aircraft,one of my favourites.Going to be interesting seeing differances between the two kits.

That's probably why I couldn't figure out which carrier it was,it never occurred to me it was more than one,I blame being on nights too long lol.

I would suggest a Meteor IV or a Vampire 1

Hiya,thought I would give those of you that are interested in the Fleet air arm a heads up.I found a film on youtube called The Volunteer made in 1943 staring Ralph Richardson and a very small cameo from Lawrence Olivier. It's a typical film of its time re the acting,but what I found very interesting were the aircraft,Seafires,Martlets,Swordfish,Albacores,a Walrus and a Kingfisher.It seems to have been filmed on an actual carrier,anyone know which one?The sounds of which I found very atmospheric,and very loud.Anyway,worth a look in my humble opinion.You just have to grit your teeth through the dialogue lol. Enjoy Neil

This week I recieved a Finemolds N1 Naboo starfighter,the last of the 1/72 Finemolds Starwars Kits I needed to complete my collection.😊

I can recomend a book called control towers by Paul Francis,it's out of print but you may be able to get it on a library loan or off Ebay.It has plans and dimensions of all types of British wartime control towers plus lots of other airfield buildings and equipment.

Have made contact with him via F/B,just waiting to find out costs.Thanks for the heads up chaps 😊 Neil
