The Cameraman

Hey Guys, thanks for the info so far and any updates will be much appreciated.

Hi Guys n Gals, could anyone please confirm if this beast is still in Scotland as, if it is, I need to head Northwards ASAP?

Hi Paul, she's beautiful. and looks well smart o the amphib floats. I do have a 1/72 scale Turbine Beaver, on floats in my stash, for a future build! Anyway you've done her justice.

Hi Crayons, not a usual modelling subject for me but I love to see your work. Fine results/

Hi Guys n Gals, so the kit and figure arrived OK and is just the job.

Hi Guys n Gals, rather than searching eBay for 1/24 scale motorcycle figures, I changed my tack and looked for kits that already came with a rider and found an old Tamiya Yamaha T-Max scooter kit. The rider has modern bike gear and an open face helmet like mine! And the cost for this was £11 from Japan, inc postage. So I should have a figure I can do something with along with a bike that I can practise my skills on. Result.

Hi Guys n Gals, after many years hunting I've finally found a kit of my first ever brand new motorcycle, a 1982 Yamaha XT250 - made by Bandai. Anyway I thought it would be fun to try to recreate a figure of me riding the bike, so can anyone recommend a 1/24 scale trail type rider figure , prefer with an open face helmet? I'm not looking for a Storm Trooper type character, in one piece leather, just a normal road rider. So any comments would be much appreciated.

Hi Paul, looking good there matey.

Hi Paul, you can have one of my Airfix Beavers if you want it, as life intervened and prevented me from building mine, so if you need one I'll post it to you! How's that eh?

Well you're only a day early, so we'll let you off! Looking forward to watching this beauty progress.

Hi Guys n Gals, from my puddled brain I'm sure I remember Ed's car being owned by DLT, the Hairy Monster? The whole series has recently been repeated on the telly and brought back loads of memories.

Hi Guys n Gals, I'm sad to say that due to a mega heavy work load ( where I'm an Airport Duty Manager), and general life's ability to throw a spanner in the works, that I'm unable to build one of my Airfix Beavers at the moment. This got me thinking and I've decided that I'll consider donating one of these kits to a member here who can build it, under this superb Flying Boat and Floatplanes GB. So those that's interested in taking this on, would you please reply, by saying which scheme you'd build it in and I'll then select the one that most appeals to me! Come on Guys n Gals, it's time for a free Beaver!

Hi Roger, going back over 30 years, I seem to remember Truck Magazine did an 18 wheeler, based on a Ford Transit and called it something like Triple T?

Hi Jaime, works for me too, very nice.

Hi Jaime, I prefer the Chronological composition, as the text seems to fit better with the spacing allowed under the Sunderlands. Nice job Sir.

Hi Simon, there's nothing wrong with them at all, they happen to be my all-time favourite aircraft.

Hi Jaime, we can't not have a Beaver on floats now can we!

Hi Roginoz, thanks for the comments re RedRoo, I've sent 'em an email.

Hi There, from Neil's amazing website, you'll find the following con numbers; VP-FAJ = 1342 VP-FAE = 500 VP-FAV = 1233 1342 results in this -missing entry. 500 (2) results in this - http://www.dhc-2.com/cn500.html 1233 results in this - http://www.dhc-2.com/cn1233.html I trust these details help you on your build of my all-time favourite aircraft? A friend has borrowed my stash of Beaver decals, where I have examples of most that have been produced so far. I also have a somewhat healthy collection of Airfix Beaver kits, and spare bits, so if you break, or find anything missing then please let me know and I'll post parts to you. As for your choice of subject matter, I have a passion for these particular aircraft myself, so I'll be looking forward to following any build thread that you may create. Before I forget, here's a link to Adesalis' Beaver build, showing the work he did to the roof windows, on page 4 of his build thread, http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=372&t=29527&hilit=Beaver&start=60

Hi Richard, I loved the series as a kid and even more so now!

Hi Guys n Gals, my first model aircraft that I made when about 6 years old, was Little Nellie.

Hi Guys n Gals, as a kid, my all-time favourite TV series was Gerry Anderson's UFO. I was most impressed to see that the whole series is to be shown soon on the Forces TV channel, so that's my digibox set to series record then!

Hi PaulJ, what a great catalogue. I only have one of those kits in my stash, and those who know me won't be surprised as to what it is, it's the Beaver! I think it's a 1/80th scale, or something like that and it's really different than the Airfix or Hobbycraft kits, as it's the Series 2 Beaver, which they only ever made one production version of, complete with the odd tail and Leonides engine. Good luck with your continued hunt.

Hi Andrew, fine job Good Sir.

Hi Lee, that sounds like me to a 'T'!
