J35 Draken

Jeez, just look at that Hurricane and Lightning. Cracking!

Thought you were talking to me for a minute there! Looking good so far. I'll have to get this one someday!

They're all working now. Photobucket was down earlier! Neat piccies aswell there!

Yupyup, will be there one of the days with Dad!

Beautiful stuff Steve, great angle you got in the first Apache pic.

Very nice, good to see they were all nicely spaced out too. Did the CC-144 show?

Thanks alot guys. Not a clue whether the female crew was aircrew or anything, certainly wasn't the display pilot.

'Fighting Falcon' is the official name for the F-16 and 'Viper' is just an unofficial nickname. Not a clue how it came about though!

Good stuff Greg, you caught some nice angles on the warbirds there. Shame the blue skies didn't hang around!

Had a really enjoyable day out today, weather could have been abit better but couldn't be helped. On with the pics.. Thanks for looking!

Wow, that's brilliant. You've got the finish absolutely spot one.

So far, so good. Keep the rest of the build up to this standard and you'll have one cracking model!

Very nice, looks really smart.

Super stuff, love the Huey and MiG-29 pics especially.

Just had a look at that decal sheet now and that's shocking work on their part. Not only has XX250 been a 19Sqn aircraft for at least the last 5 years, they've used the 19Sqn tail markings, the '250' code, whereas 100Sqn have a two letter code at the top of the tail, which were 'CE' and 'CN' for the two Hawks that carried the special markings. Just noticed they've missed the 100Sqn Skull and Crossbones off the tail aswell! Absolutely dire research from them. It's really not hard to research these things, I'm a 19 year old with a laptop infront of me so I don't see how they can mess up that badly!

Cracking looking model Ted, welcome to BM too. Sorry to point this out but XX250 isn't a 100Sqn Hawk, and seems as though it never has been. XX313 and 314 were the Hawks that carried the 100 years of Flight stickers.

Nice, very nice! The Serbian MiG-29 and MiG-21's are very rare!

The Black Cats don't have a new scheme this year, it's the same scheme that was applied last year. Both of the special schemed choppers were present at Southend airshow last week. The Apache called declared a PAN shortly after take off and had to be put down in a field so they could extinguish the fire! I must have seen the Black Cats display around 20 times now, and only one of those times has it been their solo and that was at Southend last week because the weather was too bad to perform with both helicopters. Maybe you've been unlucky but I really don't think it's because of the state of the Defence Budget. Also, where were the Canberra piccies taken? Kleine Brogel?

Nice build Going back to the changes you made to the kit, did you have to lengthen the nose too?

You sure that was 2005? The '05 Harrier display pilot was Chris Rogers, and Team Merlin made their Biggin debut in 2006. Edit: Pete Keenlyside was the 2006 Harrier display pilot. That might answer your question aswell Jim.

I'll be there on the Saturday. Really looking forward to the M2000 and Sarang display team.

Go for it Daz, that'll be the last chance to get a flight in one of the DC-3's before the EU ruling comes into effect on the 16th July.

Great stuff Robban, really like the shots of the Lansen and Hunter.

They all look great, the T8M looks the mutts nuts though.

Nice stuff Darius, lucky man! Looks like they've made some progress with the Belfast too.
