Airfix 1/48 Defiant - 264 Squadron Intruder.
Fritag replied to AndyL's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Having a recently developed soft spot for the Defiant, I’ll be following with interest, Andy. -
Harbour Air DHC-3T Vazar Otter (Single)
Fritag replied to hendie's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
I’m later and even less on the ball; but I’m wholly with Johnny on it just making me want to be a better modeller, Alan. But cue also, an existential crisis as to whether it’s inspirational or unachievable Can’t deal with acknowledging the latter - so you’ll just have to be an inspiration -
Airfix 1/48 SEPECAT Jaguar GR1, yes that one.
Fritag replied to Troffa's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Wot he said. Not wholly convinced by the adours ‘roaring’, mind; possibly a significant ‘snarling’. -
RAF Germany Jaguar stores fit, late 70's to early 80's
Fritag replied to Mr T's topic in Aircraft Cold War
The photo of the four 6 squadron Jags that found its way onto the back cover of the Warbirds Fotofax book was taken on a sortie on 23 June '88. Yours truly lead the 4-ship in XX962 'EK'. I had the choice of aircraft and chose EK cos it was the only 2 tank fit amongst the 4 and I figured that'd mean there'd be just me left to be taken photos of when all the others had used up there fuel and gone 'ome. Shallow? me? The theory worked after a fashion and there's some quite nice piccies of EK flying alongside the Colt' runway with the Jag flight lines in the background, that popped up here and there over the years. I even came across a monster 'blow-up' of EK on that flight in the aviation museum at Norwich Airport only a few years ago: The price I paid in choosing EK was that she was in a wholly unrepresentative fit - 2 tanks, centre line LGB and 2 underwing AIM9Gs - that was probably never seen before or after, cos it made no sense whatsoever tactically -
Glad the surgery went well, Mark; that was one hell of a crash to walk away from. Looks like your orthopod. has nicely snagged both ends of your recalcitrant collar bone - and good luck with being a patient patient! Surely the freezing Canberra mornings are a disincentive to bike riding anyway? much better to have a coffee or two in The Knox and catch up on BM. Back on the bike in time for the spring? Do I have to add that notwithstanding the effects of major orthopaedic surgery the paintwork is superb? No I don’t think I do. I think it’s bl**din self evident

How's that working out for you then Ced? Wot he said. And thank you for the enjoyable thread. Perfect accompaniment to a morning Coffee -
Not so fast Cookie. Need to look for one or two other indicators to be sure of provenance... Tempera Wash? - ✅ White Board Marker? - ✅ Ok, it's definitely him... Not to mention: Wot Mark said. The clincher 😉

Course there’s nowt wrong with the rain channel, G. It’s just Alan trying to appear a merely mortal modeller- when we all know different…- 294 replies

Brilliant, Bill. Shall be following along from my hols 👍 -
Sorry for the excessive number of ‘likes’, Serkan; but I’ve been absent and so missed all of this (typically) stunning work. It made for an impressive read though. Mind (duly and appropriately) blown. Steve

Greatly enjoyed reading this through from the start, G. It’s been fighting you a little bit; but it’s picked a fight out of it’s league and typical Giorgio mastery is winning the day

Like @JagRigger, I agree with @Phone Phixer. I don’t think the Airfix effort demands correction; I’d accept it might be a tad overdone -but even then I’m not wholly sure. And TBH I’m just working from the photo’s; memory ain’t helping me with this one.

Small but perfectly formed, Aaron. One might almost say ‘Gazelle like’ Steve

Not the sort of Jag I’d have hoped for Bill, but proceeding in impeccable Navy Bird fashion nonetheless .
