This Wessex is in the Bournemouth museum, I believe that it was passed between the FAA and RAF and was used for various test and experimental "stuff", hence the RAF markings, I also think that the interior and external configuration is unique to this airframe because of the various test fits it has had over time. Go on, do a Vixen in crab markings... I dare you!!

Just added some HAS.3 as well..

Sorry, taken me a while, but here it is.. Wessex stuff...

Great start Hendie, you may not be that impressed with the Italeri kit, but if you think that's bad, see if you can get hold of one of the old Revell offerings and you'll see just how much things have come on... Here's a link to a load of Wessex photo's I have taken over the years, the first 6 are HC.2s the remainder are HU.5s but a lot of detail is common to both, might be of use...!

Not seen this thread before.. Amazing work!

Goon news and bad… Got the front end on, glued, filled and filed down, looks like a T.4.. Then I noticed I was missing half the cockpit coming, must have knocked if off when I was getting it all together.. Searched the house, behind sofa cushions, even the hoover bag, but it would seem the carpet monster won this round….! So, spent the afternoon rebuilding the missing part Now ready for paint and the wings..

Great progress, keep it coming

Been busy over the last couple of weeks, interviewed for and got a new job, so handing over my last role and preparing for the new one.. still managed to find a little time to do some work on the Lightning: Cockpit painted Inner canopy parts painted Ejector seats panted The latter will need a little help to fit properly Surgery on the fuselage, will need some filler here, but starting to look like at T bird..

Very nice indeed...

Good clean work.. Keep it coming!

Very nice, great weathering..

Great build so far, great detail and outstanding painting.. I have 3 of these in the stash, will have to move to a bigger house before I can build them though! Keep the updates coming..

Beautiful work, great weathering, nice one!

Some progress to report... Built up the intake with the Aries bullet back that included the nose wheel well and the Aeroclub bullet and nose ring Also got some work on the jet pipes, Eduard this time, very nice... Finally, spent the afternoon cleaning up some of the resin bits. The bottom 5 pieces are for the inside of the canopy!

A quick update on the Fire Tender I think I’ve just about sorted where the parts are going now.. Rishi, at the moment its all being superglued, just hope it lasts!! I undercoated and the cab is painted in Nato Black, then decided to add some details… Re-painted Nato Black and given a Klear coat

Great detail on that seat...

Here’s my entry for the GB The Airfix 1/48 F.1/F.2/F.3 with neomega resin two seat conversion set and a load of after market stuff… Overkill I know, but options are open! and some bed time reading…

All done... Looking at the original photo of “Cheetah” on the beach on D-Day, I would assume (as the wounded are lined up alone her track side), that she had either broken down or been knocked out. I’ve tried to finish her looking as she may have done on D-Day +1, some attempt has been made to get her going that has failed so she has been abandoned. Some kit has been “liberated”, the pioneer tools and kit rolls off the turret.

Finished, almost, at the post! Managed to finish the AVRE off this afternoon, photo’s taken and posted in time for the GB close tonight.

I'm with Tom here, for 1/48 the difficult bit would be to get some of the sqn crests/codes/special markings so that would be the priority for me please, then jam in as much "other stuff" as you can.... Please...

Hi Colin Nope, neither will fit in the cab area, grid on the right, I think is a bump/skid plate for under the forward diff. Its the other two that I can't work out at the moment, top left looks like a radiator or something like that, but can't see where it would fit... Thanks though Oz

Hi all This is my first attempt at a full white metal vehicle, so go easy on me!! I was perusing the stash yesterday and my eyes settled on this A Smith Auto Model Nubian 6x6 Carmicheal Fire Tender. I had bought this off ebay an while back with the intention of building it as one of those you used to be able to see across the fence when visiting Yeovilton A days worth of cleaning and assembling the 3 main components: Some dry fitting I still have these three pieces outstanding, not sure where they should go as they’re not called out in the instructions that I can see, I think they fit under the cab some how.. can anyone help??

Not many to do, but the decals are on, sorry for the poor photo's...

So, got some painting done during the week, Kleared now awaiting decals (hopefully tonight). I have noticed a few "white bits" where the undercoat is still showing through, have to patch them up later.. And all the "bits"..

Hopefully, I'll be in with a 1/48 T.4, Neomega/Aeroclub cockpit on the Airfix kit, some other after market stuff and in 92 Sqn Markings. Putting off starting another new build so I can get this one done...!
