Westland Wasp HAS 1: 'A Study in Blue-Grey'
fatalbert replied to TheBaron's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
You do realise that after the superb sea vixens in 1/72, @1/24 scale,if this isnt a fully functioning,rotor folding,door opening,wheel turning replica,we are all going to be very disappointed -
I say the same thing every year,Scimitar ,Scimitar,Scimitar.in gods own 1/72 scale.Come on Airfix you know its got to be done.

No time soon then lol.

When do we find out?

Thanks for that Dennis,I hadnt thought of the drones,i had forgotten all about those.I have done a bit of googling and it appears the FTS unit opperated airframes didnt last much longer than 1955/56.But it has got me wanting to dig out an old Frog FIV when i get back home and build one of them.

Hi all,whilst on holiday i have been reading Meteor Boys by Steve Bond (Grub street),a book i can heartily recommend, and there is a story about two Meteor FIV's colliding in 1955.They belonged to 12 FTS based at West Zoyland in Somerset.Now i didnt realise that RAF still used the FIV that late in the 1950's,Would anyone know when the FIV's were finaly retired.Many thanks. Neil

Absolutely stunning work,what it needs though,is a Firefly FR1 in korean war markings as a stable mate . -
Oh bugger,will have to wait awile yet then

I can recomend a set of smoothing broaches.These are tapered reamers where you can enlarge a hole from .4 mm up to 1.4 mm.You can get a set from ebay for £11.49.There are also other sets that goes from .6mm up to 2mm and .7mm to 3mm.I find them very handy.
