*homer drool* grey/green Phantoms in 41 Squadron markings, my favourite! If those Trumpeter rumours are true........

That cockpit look real nice

That Chinook display is something else ain't it?

Still loving it Leigh!

That's a real nice job on Airfix's finest

Yep, I've got a photo somewhere of a Lightning in low level formation with a Spit - one is nose up, the other is nose down

Looking forward to this one Bill - always fancied doing an all white S1 meself, but lack of ability has stopped me (and I can't justify 60 odd quid on a 1/72 CMR one....)

If you were to search the What If forums.....

Well, how about a nice simple, British tanks GB?

Wow, this is already shaping up to be another Skii masterpiece.....

gorgeous, utterly gorgeous

Canopy is gorgeous

I use a mixture of Tamiya Black and Future/Klear, brush painted on. I tend to vary how dark it is depending on how dark the subject is. A bit lo-tech, but works for this brush painter

As I hinted at above, under the impending EU REACH regulations, Enamel paints may well disappear forever in Europe. From what I've gleaned about it at work, REACH is a doubly pronged approach to environmental protection, it doesn't just look at the potential environmental damage chemicals may cause, it looks at whether those chemicals even need to be used at all ie, if there is a more environmentaly friendly alternative to a potentially damaging substance, even if more expensive, then the regulations will force you down that route. Hence, bye-bye enamels, hello acrylics!

Flow enhancer?

Mario is the Mexican kid on ARC who built an F-18 that came second in competition to the Lightning not once, but twice He has "issues" with the Lightning as a result And a cautionary word, if I may. Is the forum membership big enough yet to support 2 GBs at the same time? Spread the participants too thinly and GBs can wither and die.

Armorama/Aeroscale had a Suez GB last year So is it a Spitning or Lightfire GB? And don't forget to invite Mario, he wouldn't want to miss out on a Lightning GB

What are the decal options in the Revell reboxing?

Glad thats never happened to me......

WW2 luftwaffe ain't my bag, but damn that's a nice kit!

A slight expansion upon the Spitfire theme - a Merlin engine GB. Lots of choice there, and even expands to armour (the Cromwell was powered by a derivitave of the Merlin)

There's also the famous footage of the Lightning struggling to keep up with the TSR2 @ Farborough. And remember, the Olympus wasn't even the first choice engine for the project, but was forced onto BAC by the government!

Since Geoff is too modest, here is the Panavia 100 he kitbashed from the Airfix kit a couple of years ago for the One Week GB on whatifmodelers

mmmmm, artic camo....... *homer drool*

wow, that wicker chair is something else! Nice job on the floorboards too
