They were actually scanning the Miles Monitor that RAFM found at the back of a hangar when they finally moved a load of left over promo material for the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain that had been on the curator's 'to do' list for some time. Airfix hope to get two releases out, one in RAF markings and the other as a Royal Navy aircraft.

1/48 Avro Lancaster Family from HK Models !
Truro Model Builder replied to AlCZ's topic in The Rumourmonger
Looking at the decal options it would appear that both types of bomb aimer's blister window are included. -
I don't think they have the space around the Lincoln to be able to scan it, to be honest. The Me 163 is tucked in behind the starboard wing, and the tail is pushed back against the corner.

Truro Model Builder replied to AlCZ's topic in The Rumourmonger
I suspect by the time it appears with UK suppliers the price will have topped £100, but I could be very, very tempted when the Mk.III is out. RF325 of the School of Maritime Reconnaissance in 1956, I think... -
Very bad news about the Victor
Truro Model Builder replied to Adam Poultney's topic in Real Aviation
Watching the time lapse video, I received the impression that there was a certain dignity to the way it was dismantled -not cut up, not scrapped and it didn't have a digger carve through it either. It was almost ceremonial. -
As it says in the title. Not at all surprising, and entirely expected. Still disappointing, however, and I fear not the last for this year's season. https://www.airtattoo.com/airshow/visiting/latest-news/n/2021/feb/16/important-news-about-the-air-tattoo-2021

Questions about the Canadian Hornets

So out of curiosity, what is the normal QRA fit? -
Late Omani Jaguar Camouflage images?
Truro Model Builder replied to Hoops's topic in Aircraft Modern
Definitely not. Nigerian Jags were fit only for the scrappy long before Oman repainted its jets. It is the same camouflage as appears on the RAFO's C-130s and Lynx among others.- 6 replies

Hawker Hunter Underbellies , What Do You Use?
Truro Model Builder replied to MatthewAV8B's topic in Aircraft Cold War
No, there weren't. I was referring to RAF Hunters generally. -
It is a particularly striking camouflage scheme, particularly as here in Europe we have so many shades of grey. Seeing the U-125 in it makes me think again about buying the Sword kit.

Hawker Hunter Underbellies , What Do You Use?
Truro Model Builder replied to MatthewAV8B's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Only a very small number of RAFG F.4s received PRU blue undersides, maybe single figures. The vast majority, like other RAF Hunters, were painted high speed silver. As Jure mentions, this gave way to light aircraft in the mid-1960s. -
Troubling news if true. https://webcms.pima.gov/UserFiles/Servers/Server_6/File/Government/Administration/CHHmemosFor Web/2021/February/bd-Expansion of the Pima Air and Space Museum with the Tucson Military Vehicle.pdf?fbclid=IwAR2OmJh7zbalgTYOKQHVhBmXdOti3FDvftjrL5CVERX8boXBodvrg193jXA https://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=65&p=911324&sid=6ef7ed3763cb79c9ce3777fb41ef735b#p911324

Agree on both counts. And as well as WP962 there is also WP912 at Cosford (at least until RAFM decides on another clearout).
-
Well, I don't know about that, but it is practically a dead cert that when they deliver the last B-21 bomber to Davis-Monthan the crew will fly home in a B-52.

After taking a look at the posters -for research purposes only, you understand- I have to admit that the authenticity, or lack of, is not really of any great concern...
