  1. Yes Alt 92 , if we are talking about the same little boy , I have the image on a little brass matchbox case . It was brought back by a family friend at the end of the war .
  2. Or to make an easy model of a well known shape . the recent Airfix Austin "Katy " ambulance .
  3. Sorry Steve , this being a modelling website I thought you wanted a 1/32nd one .
  4. I`m with the Admiral , Vc for me too ,
  5. I`ve got one in resin , they were sold a few years back ,can`t remember the name of the maker but he also produced a conversion of the Grand Sam Lancaster before HK did . A lovely little model it is too .I have it stood at the side of a HK/ Fisher Meteor 8 . I just wish I could remember his name , but I`m sure someone will come up with it . Maybe they are still available . Don .
  6. Thanks for that James , that took me back to my time in the "mob" . Don .
  7. And when the pilot primed and pressed the start switch it was all automatic from there . Both engines started with a low whine and increased in volume as the pilot advanced the throttles . The first cartridge start I ever saw was a Canberra , nearly jumped out of my skin ! . Don .
  8. We may be back to a Defiant ! . Although like the Whitley and Manchester not one of my favourites .
  9. Walrus . well yeah , but even better , a Sea Otter for me ! . ( Well one can hope ) .
  10. The waist gun positions on the box artwork are surely too far back ! .
  11. I`ve just finished the similar Lady Nelson cutter by Vanguard lovely little model . When your Son gets stuck into his model I think he`ll have difficulty putting it down . A great part of our hobby . ( My main " kick" is 1/32nd WW II kites ) . Don .
  12. The last I heard , the builders model of the CSS Alabama was still in a glass case at Cammell Laird offices . `Must be worth a fortune , if it`s still there ,
  13. Put him in the cockpit and see /
