    Lovely model. I guess the original must have been aerodynamically sound, or at least OK-ish, but this (and the Caproni) look, to me, like the sort of thing that only someone heroically brave or utterly moonstruck would consider flying.
  2. TheLurker
    I can't see any manufacturer anywhere making a kit for that one. Did it ever fly?
  3. TheLurker
    What a gorgeous little oddity.

    Hi there Rui, The one I have my eye on is the "standard" size 50" ( 1.25m give or take) span rather than any of the larger variations that are out there. Details here: https://www.vintagemodelcompany.com/kk-minimoa.html VMC also have a 100" (2.5m) kit of their own devising : https://www.vintagemodelcompany.com/v1-s-minimoa-100.html Apologies to Paul J for the thread hijack.

    Ahh. Minimoa1. One of my favourite airfames. Nice. It's been really nice to see your glider models as the breed seems woefully under-represented in "Airfix" world certainly when compared to "Stick and Tissue" world. 1 - Stick and tissue types might be interested to know that VMC sell a laser cut version2 of the old KK Minimoa kit which is a bit of a classic as these things go. 2 - Yes. It is on my χmas list.

    I've known of the Flivver for a long time, courtesy of Capt. W.E. Johns & Biggles, but I'd never seen a picture, or model of one, so thanks very much for completing my education. BTW the ANT-25 is a cracker.

    What a little stunner.
  9. TheLurker
    That's a beaut.

    There's also the odd (very odd, according to the Missus) stick and tissue Free Flighter lurking as well. Nice build and a rattling good write up too.

    Brilliant.

    V22 stooging around over the house about 17:00. On a short hop from Brize to Fairford. Did half a dozen circuits before finally landing at FF and promptly coming back. Think it was waiting for the Italian aerobatic team to finish their practice. Grainy video here and some unimpressive stills in the same album. Am really going to have to buy a better camera cos those images don't convey how low it was.

    RIAT this weekend. So lots. Got to watch the Italian team practicing as I rode home last night.

    Sunday last, about 13:45. Dakota, wearing invasion stripes, northbound at tree-top height. The B1s were back for annual exercises about a month back.
