Mrs Quack wanders into the Inner Sanctum of Quack Towers, and stares pointedly at the model on Quack's desk. "Errrr...I just made this Dearest," mumbles Quack. "I whittled it out of old clothes pegs and glued it together with toothpaste!" "No you didn't you lying Git," his beloved retorts. "It's an Italeri 1/48 Bae Hawk with some Eduard bits in the cockpit - I've read the credit card bill, and your doing the Vacuuming for the next month!" So dear fellows, I humbly present Quack's first model for 40 years, Hawk XX162 assigned to the RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine - It was a 'School' when I did a course there back in '94 (I think) and I have fond memories of Farnborough. And Pot Noodle but that's another story!

DSCF0890 by Niall Robertson, on Flickr But I have a perfect solution to this - simply remove glasses and Voila! DSCF0891 by Niall Robertson, on Flickr vastly better - I'm sure you'll agree.... Be gentle wiv me - My eyes are ageing and my fingers shaky. The learning curve is steep at my end, but all-in-all I'm happy to place this on my shelf as it triggers happy memories. I've learned a lot doing this one and look forward to the next! Happy plastic-mangling everybody - I'm off to do some Vacuuming....and Ironing.....and Dusting.....and.....
