Hi James. I am not far from you in Doncaster. The aircraft museum in Donny has a well stocked model shop and they hold a model club night second Wednesday every month. members usually start showing up at about six pm.You will be more than welcome to come along. Same goes for all you good folks. All the best Greg.

Stunning. I have the Tristar and DC10 from this series. Both will get converted to the tanker versions. The Tristar will need chopping though as the RAF ones were 500 series aircraft with the shorter fuselages. I have the 144 Airfix 'Big Orange' 747 to do as a BOAC one. All the best Greg

Not 100% on this but I seem to remember the V4 was only used in the mk1 Tranny and Capri mk1 and possibly the Taunus. Though when I was a member of the Capri club international I never came across a V4 powered Capri. May be worth asking if anyone has a spare engine from an esci/Italeri MK2 Escort? That would be perfect for tthis version of Transit. All the best Greg.

Great conversion. I really must get on with the one I am making as my old van. The ex Ford V4 was used in the SAAB 95 and 96. With the 99 onwards they used a development of the ex Triumph 2000 engine until the next generation 900 series. My Transit had an ex Capri 2.0 with a fast road cam. Twin webber carbs and a four branch manifold and a few other engine tweaks. Also had a drivers seat from a Ford Granada ghia, spotlights, sunroof and.......rust. All the best. Greg

Well, for sheer Britishness you can't beat the Spitfire so thats my nomination, Greg

Hiya Darren, Nice work on the revell kit, I remember reading from the Concorde GB that the revell one is a bit of a bear. all the best. Greg
