  1. Found a Caracal decal set that depicts one of these , but its in 1/72 , so no dice for me as i only build in 1/48. Buggeritt millenium hand & shrimp!
  2. Sure i've seen a Bloodhound on a trailer at IWM Duxford or a.n.other museum, maybe RAF Museum @ Hendon. Surely they have online presence to get this info?
  3. A Viper i've not come across before. Random, but would the Marble Peace Dorsal spine be a similar profile for this ? The over lumps bumps and protrusions shouldn't be a hard job to complete. Never seen the decals either, may spend this afternoon looking for them now., bugger!!!😁😁
  4. The IFR actually came free almost as I'd got it flat, but I had to remove the piece as there was a flippin great hole in the middle. Thankfully I had the blanking piece to hand and with a little fettling, of dried glue, I got it to fit into place
  5. Someone, somewhere inside the Hexagon is crying into their overtime as you beat them to the unveiling. Unveiling a 13 quadrillion buck feasibility concept, which you did for £50 as a side project!
  6. A few wip pics Sorted the paint scheme tested the weapon fit to wing pylon and pylon to wing One magnet needed re-orientating, so not too bad for a first effort
  7. are you sure they're both that small? Outstanding work on show, lovely.
  8. Now that's a pretty UHU. Almost glad i don't use an airbrush, cos i'd never get that proficient.
  9. Never got to Lakenheath, managed Mildenhall a few times on NATO naval exercises. Played with Beech King Airs & ANG C-130's. Unit in the next hanger complete gun happy loons. Think they were MH53 combat search & rescue.
  10. Literally just tried to remove the seat, no dice it's in and it ain't coming out. The refuelling receptacle I'll try and cut/file down. Paint needs work anyway.
  11. Change of heart, going to do a slightly less than normal scheme, still from the box, but it's not one i've seen done anywhere on an A-7E/D, Going to try and do the 1991 USS Enterprise 3 tone grey scheme ( or my version anyway) Pics to follow
  12. Lovely finish of a spiffing little kit set. Now someone at Airfix , please release this and the Bomber Command set in 1/48 please.
  13. I'm using the kit seat. It's one mainly and if I had had a seat of any description I'd have used one. The resin avionics bays were in the stash from years ago. I might see if I can tease the seat out and use a spare F16 ACEs II seat as I have a few spare.
  14. Screwed up, used the Air Force refuelling part rather than the blank piece. Dammnit.
  15. Our Harriers had a very fine CoG. Even pilot changes could alter it more than a half meter forward or back
  16. Jeez, bad enough 18 months here but only 3 official lockdowns.
  17. Nice Dora, always nice to see rare versions of common aircraft.
  18. No way i'm bothering now. Really fancied doing one and now i'll never be able to get mine to that level.
  19. US Navy -E , but essentially they are the same aircraft i understand. Realised i have no suitable colour for the avionics bay, but i may wing it with some desert tan thinned with white.
