TimB Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Looked very good at last year's SMW. On my list for this year - now we just need the truck that transported the Thor... Regards Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 BW Models make a white metal 1/76 Leyland Hippo 19H Thor ICBM tractor and trailer unit and very good it is too. I intend to combine the Belcher Bits Thor, I know there is a slight descrpancy in scale but it is modest and the BB Thor is better than the vac and white metal that comes with the the BW kit.Marty...

Every one I have indulged in recently has been of a consistent high quality. This is no different, there is nare a moulding defect and the finish is as smooth as the baby's proverbial. Marty...

heloman1 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 There is a book due sometime on the Thor project. From what I have heard it's quite comprehensive. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 There are already two extremely good books on the deployment of Thor on UK soil. Project Emily Launch Pad UK Both come highly recommended and are currently available from Amazon. Marty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty_hopkirk Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thought is was about time for some photos. It'll look cool on the BW Models transporter erector. Marty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
