Flightpath 1/72 RAF Trolley Accumulator Set (72005) There are four trolleys in this set - A pre-WW2 example that was used into the 1950's Two 1941 examples, used by both the RAF and USAAF well into the 50's and one that was regularly in use in the 1970's, and continues to be used with the BoBMF and on preserved aircraft

and the spaces!

The Zoo (Mk. I) met an untimely demise at SMW last year, so I have built Zoo Mk. II.

Yes it does, and thanks.

In May 1965, the Defence Ministries of France and the UK agreed on a joint programme to develop a supersonic trainer and tactical strike aircraft. France had already decided upon the Brequet 1221 design and this, together with the Rolls-Royce/Turbomeca Adour engine became the basis of the Jaguar. Design leadership was with both Brequet Aviation and the British Aircraft Corporation, so the companies established the joint company SEPECAT to coordinate production. The first two-seat Jaguar trainer flew in September 1968 and the first single-seater in March 1969. Production GR.1 aircraft entered RAF service with 54 sqn in March 1974. The French Air Force phased the type into service earlier in June 1973. The GR.1 for the RAF was a single-seat all-weather strike and ground attack fighter equipped with NAVWASS (navigating and weapons aiming sub-system) enabling it to attack without using radars. Based mostly in Germany, RAF Jaguars were used for rapid deployment and regional reinforcement, and others flew in the tactical nuclear strike role carrying the WE177 bomb. Upgraded GR.1A Jaguars flew successfully in the 1990 Gulf War, where 12 aircraft flew 612 combat sorties without loss. The final Jaguars were retired from RAF service in April 2007.

I appreciate that. All manufacturers recommend the nearest in their range. I really wondered whether there is something more suitable (without mixing)

What is the opinion of Humbrol 81 for the wheel wells?

I went to the doctor thinking I had arthritis, but he told me I have early onset rigor mortis.

Not these, with 43 parts they are designed as starter kits.

Some of my coins and notes

6d was a tanner round these parts.

@Paul821 all those colours were dobbed onto a pallet and became mixed (very roughly) as I loaded the brush to apply them. Look at buildings (especially old ones) and they are varying shades. From a distance our brain sees one colour, but up close they are not exactly the same. So don't try to paint them all one colour. Put down a colour for the mortar and then dry brush the variations of brick colour over that. It's quite simple really.

Thanks so much for the feedback guys. I chose this one for nostalgic reasons. I certainly built an Albatros or two in my youth, but whether this one or not I cannot recall. I did enjoy this one
