Flaps are often left down by the mechs,lots of lubrication to be done up there plus fuel leaks to trace and rectify . Good luck scratch building them down,its a very busy area.

Also no refuelling probe on an F1.

Yes please on both counts

I wonder what scale that works out at?

I have one thats stalled at the moment, i have tried vac forming one with less than satisfactory results,i have been looking out for the rare as hens teeth Maintrack canopy set but to no avail.i also have a second unstarted one as i would like one in camouflage and one in silver and white.knowing intimately what this kit is like,i look forward to seeing what you do with it.

Lololololol

Excellent, may i join the party,would you be willing to sell a couple of your nose vacform transparacies ? Neil

Loving this build,do you know about the cabin pressure outflow valve.Its located on the cargo door(not the ramp),as your looking at your photo,there is a hole ,the second skin panel fwd from the back of the cargo door,its on the aircrafts left hand side.its about a foot wide.i can measure it more accurately later in the week if you need me to.its a butterfly valve that opens and shuts during flight regulating the cabin pressure.From the outside its just a hole thats closed off about 5 nches in with the circular butterfly valve.its painted a satin black colour.

Nice,the B1a is also my favourite version,I have an Airfix one to backdate sitting in the stash.

Tis a thing of beauty

Oh give over,your work is way up there.

Poor swifts

We have ratings?

Was there anything else of interest on the airfix stand?

Have just found a lovely colour picture of XF970 taken around 1966 in Britains Military Aircraft in colour 1960-1970 by Martin Derry.I think this fits my needs perfectly,just need to sort out some decals for the Empire test pilots school markings.
