  1. Thanks for that information, i shall see if i can find a copy for reference. Appreciate the help .
  2. If you wanted to mount a winch, it is the same one that is fitted to a Sea King, also they are standard fit on a 7 Squadron Chinook.
  3. This might help, it is a mesh cover
  4. Truly magnificent diorama, beautiful weathering on the aircraft, superb scratch building on the runway lights, once again you take Civil Aircraft modelling to a whole new level. A possible Telford winner.
  5. Very nice Eric look forward to seeing it down the club and on tour
  6. Good luck with the build, look forward to seeing it completed as all your Thunderbird builds are a delight to see and truly awesome. You set the benchmark that we all aspire to.
  7. Thanks Dave, I had a feeling that it was a case of using the Airfix Kit for the correct length or multiple cuts on the Roden kit. .
  8. HI all VC 10 experts I want to build the Royal Aircraft Establishment RAE Vickers VC10 1101 XX914 in 1/144th scale but I am unsure which model kit to base it on . I know it was originally G-ATDJ and in April 1973 G-ATDJ was ferried to Filton where it was repainted in the RAE colours. The question is does anyone know if the model to use with the 26 Decals is old Airfix VC 10 or can a Roden one be used and if so which one and does it need to be shortened ? Appreciate any advice
  9. http://www.airhistory.org.uk/dh/_DH98 prodn list.txt Shows that it was attached/ part of 68 SQN MM679 NFXIX 68 Missing on anti-flying bomb patrol 25.7.44 . This is about the crash https://blitzwalkers.blogspot.com/2017/01/ http://aircrewremembered.com/kemp-frederick-john.html
  10. This link might help https://fcafa.com/2013/03/28/mosquitos/ Squadron Codes are WM History of MM679 https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=15814
  11. The information I have dug out is that F-101A-5-MC Voodoo/53-2428 was converted to JF-101A. originally based at Special Weapons Center, at Kirtland AFB, NM. 2/15/1963: Struck off charge at Edwards AFB, CA.
  12. Wonder how much it would fetch if the packet was unopened with contents?
  13. The weathering and dirt effects on the tracks are truly magnificent. This is going to be one heck of a gorgeous model when finished. you've got just over 3 weeks if it's to be ready for Cosford model show.
  14. I have a spare set of the clear parts from the Trumpeter Wyvern S4 that you could have, just send me a pm with your name and address and I'll will get them in the post to you over the weekend.
  15. Gimme shelter , you are truly a lover of models or a model lover you decide.
  16. Amazingly impressive dear chap. Definitely coming along nicely, glad you've got your mojo back after Telford. Can't wait to see the finished model.

  18. Hi Gimme Shelter, Love the idea of a second hand hearse. Nicely pimped up, resprayed red with our club logo on the sides and bonnet . A warning sign of If you can read this sign you are too close. BACK OFF! Models on board. Or a second hand ambulance, that comes with a lift on the back, even easier to load and off load.
  19. This might help reference the build https://modelingmadness.com/review/preww2/gb/burstwal.htm http://www.arcair.com/Fea1/801-900/Fea870-Wallace-Singh/00.shtm http://wingsofintent.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/everest-expedition-westland-pv-3-pv-6.html Radial Engine http://www.cmrmodels.co.uk/Radial-engines+wheels72/REW72002.html Hope this helps. Good luck with your build
  20. That's where his friends come to the fore, if you have followed his build on the Imperial Star Destroyer and also saw it on display at Telford it took two of us to transport it from the car to the Club Display. The specially designed and also made box by Gimme Shelter was so large it took up most of the boot, with the rear seats down , of the MG ZR that we used to transport it. Leaving very little room for John and our suitcases. Also the journey took longer than planned as there was no way that i the driver of said vehicle was prepared to risk excessive braking, so that any risk of damaging the model was kept to a minimum. Never been so glad to get to the end of a journey in my life, the relief was immense when the box was opened to check for damage and there was none.
