British Airways 100th anniversary retro colours
hovis replied to Rb277170's topic in Modern - 1969 and onwards
Is there not a time limit on what can be termed as "retro"? The 747 in Landor is beautiful, but seriously, Landor "retro"? Is last season's football shirt retro? -
It's the replacement for Nimrod the RAF are getting.

This won't have any bearing on the Poseidon will it?

Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR1 - 1/72 Airfix
hovis replied to CedB's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Without wanting to add any more spanners to your marvellous work, Sir, but are you going to tackle the badly misshapen tailplanes the kit provides us with? Apparently they're too long and too rounded at the tips. -
This is amazing!

Airfix announcement at Telford 2018, F6F-5 Hellcat 1/24 scale
hovis replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
Does this indicate that the 1/24th scale has, and will for the foreseeable future, become the "WWII Fighter only" Scale? (old Harriers aside).- 918 replies

hovis replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
They've done the Harrier GR1 & 3, as well as the FRS1 Sea Harrier in 1/24, so why not one of the plastic wing versions? OR Why not bring out a helicopter in 1/24? I'm thinking a nice Scout or Wasp... OR 1/48 F-35B Lightning?? Eh? Eh? OR The Puma has been crying out to be released in 1/48. They've done most of the rest, well, Merlin and Lynx anyway.... In fact, they haven't done most of the rest... We'll end up with a Spitfire, wait and see.- 918 replies

True. Although I'd have played it safe for the first go and given it all the run up she needed, but then, I'm just the careful sort 😉
-
Did anyone notice when it was landing that it seemed to have the weapons door open? Could it be for airflow purposes when in the hover, or just showing off her bays? Also, on take off, why not have a longer run up? The roll seems very short, and the whole deck was available....

I'm in. Concerning AlleyCat, experience shows that you have to be patient, but the wait is worth it.- 55 replies

Definitely not 1935, for two reasons I can see. Firstly you can clearly see on a couple of occasions the waste land on High Street from the Blitz. Also, around 2:40 you can clearly see Stirling bombers parked around Shorts. Could be from different films, but a lot of it I'd say is during the latter stages of the war, or just after.

Very flippin' little even though it's the airshow today!!!! Deep breaths......

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/206302-heritage-aviation-models-harrier-gr5-conversion That's what it looks like.
-
If memory serves me right, Heritage Aviation did two different conversions for the Monogram AV-8B, one for a GR5 and another for one of the two-seat trainers. I don't know how easy they'll be to find today though. I myself have a Monogram AV-8B that I wanted to turn into a GR9. Luckily for me some kind soul on here cast me some resin duplicates of the bit's I need. Worth asking. Hope you find what you need.

I love the way you rest your cutting board on a bed of pasta. I must try that....

It is a photoshop, The facebook group I'm in that showed this also said they'd photoshopped it to go with the announcement.
