Firing up the radials...

You don't get to see one of these every day of the week - actually this was the first display with the bomb bay doors operational since...well WWII or thereabouts...

It wasn't all about combat planes...with older trainers represented

The big radials and V12's did grab the lime light though

But the highlight for me was being ably to watch the activity on this apron all day.

Hi

Very nice photos and weather us at the northern hemisphere only can dream about! ;-)

Shame about the models though. Way too clean. No preshading or washes has been used or even drybrushing to make them just a little weathered. Glossy finishes that are out of scale... ;-)

Best regards

Flemming

Great show and well worth the trip down from Sydney, we stayed in the glamping ground which was very comfortable although a bit warm on the Friday. We enjoyed it more than the Avalon show, people very friendly and a great atmosphere.
