HL-10 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I've already said you have an awesome collection there, one that anybody would be proud to have. Your Halifax III is just spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody37 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks guys, forgot about this post. Merlin, They usually get displayed with the Bomber Command sig at the shows. some may be at Telford this year, although there will be a rather big line up of Stirlings, so depends what space will be left. If you want to join us, Honeybee (Paul) on here is the gaff, they're a great bunch! I've built a few more since this post, so will add the extras in too.

cngaero Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Fantastic modelling Neil. Something to really aspire to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't know how I missed this one, Neil (at least I think I missed it; I've just gone over the entire thread and I don't recall seeing Marshall Zhukov's grim visage staring back at me). Great to see all your BC beauties together! Regards, Jason (who once posted piccies of all his unfinished Lancaster models together) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Hi, I trawl the shows carefully looking for decent Stirlings and Halifaxes etc, I truly cannot believe I missed these. Are you planning on any other shows other than a possible appearance at Telford ? When I know I have time to commit, I look fwd to seeing the Stirlings. I shall consider the Bomber Command SIG. No time for any modelling so when some time appears, it must firstly be at the modelling bench. Did you review the Revell Halifax, seeing that you are 'reviewer'. Wish someone could influence Italeri and Airfix and their 1/72 panel lines. I reckon spray filler primer might be worth a try.

Myself and TonyOT did a joint thread on using the Revell Fuselage and Matchbox / Airfix wings to make more accurate Mk.II and Mk.III's respectively which is quite an easy solution... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234910638-matchbox-airfix-and-revell-halifax-lovechildren/page-1 Airfix panel lines really aren't that bad compared to the Italeri ones. I've been using Tippex pens to sort the panel lines out on the Italeri one, which has stalled at the moment, but primer alone with light sanding between coats worked quite well on the Sunderland. Here's the Stirling build so far if you are looking to have a go at one... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234981238-italeri-stirling-mki-n6086-macroberts-reply/ Not sure what other shows we'll be doing this year. I'm planning to move house, so things are a little chaotic at the moment, but the other guys put on some great displays, especially with the post war and 1/48 WWII bomber collection. General Melchett (Andy), RobVulcan (you guessed it...Rob!) and Hurrinut (Rich) are other members of the clan that make regular appearances, although Rob's rock star day job seems to be getting in the way a bit at the moment! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) Nice set of aircraft, they all look 100% better that my attempts of aircraft when I first started building on my own, and had the space to put them, now I live in a house with a concert ceiling, no chance of a drawing pin in that.

perdu Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 That is a lovely set of Bomber Command's greatest Neil And as this has returned to prominence just now do you mind if I take a little 'ride' with it? I saw this return yesterday just after I returned home from the funeral of a great friend and historic supporter of Bomber Command in modeling My mate Bill Nicholls died last month and we (many of us from IPMS) were privileged to attend his last journey in his BC inspired casket yesterday Bill was the donor of the Bomber Command trophy at IPMS Nationals/SMW and was honoured with Life Membership last time around so as your thread came back to life here I am using it to salute a great guy RIP Billy Thanks for your massive contribution to the Bomber Command tables all this time Neil, I'm certain Bill would have (probably did) say the same mate Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would indeed, Neil! I'll just have to tell my publisher that he'll have to wait a bit on my books whilst I finish these Lancs (I suppose a decade would suffice, maybe). Don't know where I'll get the money in the meantime, though; oh well, back to being a gigolo it is then. Regards, Jason 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy told me and I'm gutted for you, I know it's sh*t losing models, but I'm so thankful it happened to these and not the most recent and most £££ ones you've built!

FZ6 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Nice to see them all in one place. I hope you keep the thread with other additions to the collection. Sorry to hear about your Heyford and Battle. I'm hoping you can replace them at some point. Regards, Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
