Looking great Stix. I know the BoB GB is months away yet but these builds are really making me look forward to it!! Out of curiosity, what Pledge do you use? The new formula in the white bottle or the original 'Klear'?

My first banner - Cool Thank You!!

I'll buy a ticket!

I'm in awe

Thank you for the advice. It was really appreciated

Correct Procopius. I found the following on-line: Name: Gillam, Denys Edgar Date of birth: November 18th, 1915 (Teignmouth/Devonshire, Great Britain) Date of death: September 1991 Nationality: British BIOGRAPHY: Dennys Gillam obtained his flying licence in 1934 and joined the RAF the following year. In June 1938, Gillam received the AFC for flying food to Rathlin Island in very hazardous conditions in a Westland Wapiti. During the Battle of Britain he served with No. 616 Sqn very successfully. On September 2nd, 1940 Gillam was shot down by a Bf110 but he was picked up though by Air Sea Rescue Launch off Dunkirk. March 1942 saw him forming the first Typhoon Wing at Duxford and subsequently taking command of 20 Sector 2nd TAF in April 1944. In October 1944 he led an attack on the German Staff Conference at Dordrecht which killed many of the senior staff of the 15th Army. Gillam left the RAF late in 1945 but rejoined 616 Squadron as a Flight Lieutenant in the RAuxAF and became Director and Chairman of Homfray Carpets in Halifax and Deputy Lord Lieutenant of North Yorkshire. He then returned to his farm with his second wife, the sister of Air Vice-Marshal Bird-Wilson. There's more detail here I'm tempted to go all out with a BigEd kit too!!

Cool - Thanks Kallisti In that case I'm planning to build: N3093 QJ-W 616 (Sth Yorkshire) Sqn, 'The Virgin' Fl/Lt Denys Gillam, RAF Leconfield

Thank you - Your comments are really appreciated

All sorted (Hopefully!!)

Thanks Kallisti. Sorry, I hadn't seen this. I have found some Xtradecal markings that match your list so all good Hope you don't mind me building the same kit!

Great - Thank you

Hi All, I'm looking for some assistance please. If I built the new Revell 1:32 Mk II Spitfire but 'back-dated' with aftermarket decals, would this meet the criteria? Cheers Nigel

Thanks Wogga Needs a slight 'tweak' following Nick's advice. Hope to have sorted by the end of the week. Cheers

Hang on - Is the Thermal Imager just above the barrel? I've just noticed I've left the Blu-Tack on the glass I put there when spraying - I'll remove it and post revised pictures soonest.

Hi Nick, I'm honoured to have feedback from someone so knowledgeable - Thank you. I'm going to have to admit to not knowing what the Thermal Imager is but I'll take a stab at the unit at the very top by the Commander (sorry, I just like building models ). Had I have known about this I could have glossed the inside black behind the glass. I might try and pop the top off and sort that . The whole unit is mounted in a rubber bush so will pull out and will be easy to handle. The MG case I can sort in a second. It's made from etch so will just need slight pressure on the lid to achieve 180 degrees Much appreciated Cheers Nigel

Many thanks. The etch tested my patience at times but it was fun overall. It's nice to know that others like her Cheers

Thanks both - Comments noted and appreciated Cheers

You are very kind Roger. Thank you

Thanks Stix - much appreciated Yep, the GB will be good fun. The kit for that is obviously a lot smaller but I'm running it in parallel with the Sea King GB so can't go for anything that will take too long. I've been told that my 109 is no good for the BoB GB in July so I'll be sourcing something else. Will put the 109 up for a swap I think! Cheers

Hi All, Just finished my Challenger. Hope you like her. WIP is HERE if you are interested Cheers Nigel

OK - Here she is. Hope you like her!! Thanks for following the build Cheers Nigel

Really? OK - Will look for something else. Thanks

Sorry, There are 3 options with the kit and they are all Scots DG. I opened for the HQ Squadron Command Troop.
