Plastic Pastimes in Poole. Always very fair. Rodders

I sat in the front of one of these from Yeovil to Bury st Edmunds and return. looking forward to it being finished Rodders

struggling with the italeri kit thinking of buying the 1/32 revell one after looking at the superb job you have done on yours Rodders

Lovely build well done

Yes I noticed the bad case of pot and kettle Rodders

I think its a terrific build I build models that are meant to be looked at from 5 feet away and if they gave me pleasure in the build that is all I ask. Dont worry about copy write nobody s going to sue anyone just enjoy your modelling and leave the rivet counters to themselves. Rodders

Just looking through some old builds did you ever finish this? Rodders

Different. They are small in real life. good build Rodders

lovely job I remember building one years ago by a company called briavia (or something like it) looking forward to the finished item. Rodders

I remember as a lad being apprenticed to Westlands and going up to the erecting shop to speak to my father who was a chargehand on the Lynx and sitting eating my lunch in the cockpit of these. A bit later on I was a progress chaser for the Lynx on the erecting shop and flight shed and I can remember that when production was at its hight we were producing 6 lynx a month and a couple of seakings. Love the aircraft and am doing the HAS3 but would like to get the blades to do a very early one in oxford blue with white writing. As a progress chaser with a licence to roam I was always at the paint shop when the masking came off a new customers aircraft for the first time. Happy days. Rodders

I do like the RAF seaking Good job I would be pleased with the result Rodders

How did I miss this build? Excellent work just love the engine. Well done

Tell me more about the helicopter collection just in case they decide to reissue them. I am out of the loop as far as the model scene over the last 20 years is concerned. Rodders

BTW cracking build sorry forgot to say that when drooling over the subject Rodders

Where did you get the kit? I can only find it for greatly exaggerated prices.

There wouldn't be an aviation museum in the country that wouldn't be proud to have this build as an exhibit, well done that man. Rodders

I doff my hat to you sir.

I use the tops off milk bottle cartons

I remember a friend telling me that when they were in the Falklands he spotted the skyhawks coming in and he said I was watching them when all of a sudden they opened fire on the ship and he thought "bloody ell this b*****d is out to kill me". My memory is not what it was but I think he person who told me this is a member of this forum. Looking forward to the build. Rodders

Thanks for the kind comments folks. I have a matchbox Chinook on the go & UH1C. Looking to source a italeri s55 type chopper but having a few problems at the moment as even king kit dont have them still living 8 miles from RNAS Yeovilton I may get lucky on the 26th of October at the model show.

I cant see any pics it says photobucket bandwidth exceeded.

A brave man indeed

I like it a lot well done
