Are we back on the sausage subject?

Very nice finish on that.

Interesting subject for me as I often saw these aircraft flying over my house over the years in the guise of the Zimbabwean AF.

Very nice, what scale?

Interesting thread. Looks like the sausage trick worked though would that make the Nimrod a 'banger'? Definitely a good 'mash' up of everyone's suggestions but lets not get 'mushy' over all that, minding our 'peas' and Qs. Looks like the 'gravy' for sure. For some reason I am craving lunch down the pub.

Looking forward to this build, two of my favourite subjects, F-4 and the IAF. 👍

Lovely looking Mirage.

Thanks all.

Big bugs I have no problem with, I had a 4 inch beetle in the kitchen the other day that needed assistance to leave (Don't tell the wife her tupperware was used as a temporary beetle transportation device), small midges are a pain though so will take the advice on. I have lived south of the wall in the far past, London for a year ( which was great for a young single male) and then Somerset for a couple of years but I have always had a love of the highlands, my wife and I both have distant ancestors from the area so some family tree investigations are one of the things she will be occupied with while I set up and get moving plastic.

Sorry, forgot to mention: - I model mainly aircraft but have been known to do the odd ship or tank, figures are a dark and mysterious avenue for me and I won't go that way. - I am happy to build in any scale but I prefer 1/48th - I am a brush painter mainly but once I am settled in the UK will be looking at setting up an airbrush.

I have been a plastic model builder for 30 odd years now, my skills are far from scale model worthy, I would say my finished products are passable but still too 'toy-ish' for my liking. Been involved in another modelling forum but did not do well when the host changed. Been following this forum for a few months and I like what I see so I have decided to make myself known and I hope to show some of my work at some stage. I currently live in Zimbabwe but we are planning to return to the UK in the next 6 months and will probably settle near Inverness in Scotland. Enough talk, back to plastic.
