A Boxted machine. I'll make life simple and purchase a Kits-World decal sheet https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW72075 Hope to visit their museum soon

That's a great reply. Thanks Steve and Dana

Hi all Just wondering If I can follow the same painting instructions as for the Mitchell: Notably Humbrol 226 for the interior and Humbrol 128 for the underside and Humbrol 155 for the bombs? Thanks in anticipation of any tweaks I need to take

As a fan of this type, I had hoped to read that it is an easy assembly. Annoyed that it's not The Airfix had misshapen front engine cowlings. Another source of annoyance. Hope to do an 88 Sqn D-Day machine

Looking in: https://www.abebooks.co.uk/BRITISH-FLIGHT-TESTING-MARTLESHAM-HEATH-1920-1939/19792653967/bd I cannot find a picture, but on page 41: "Flt Lt E W Simonds on 22 July....baled out of the first Miles Magister when it failed to recover from a spin. He descended into the water near a ferry which had seen the RAF launch approaching and consequently failed to stop. The crew of the launch assumed that the ferry, being nearer would pick up Simmonds and turned about. As a result of this grievous misunderstanding Simmonds drowned; he is buried in the Ipswich cemetary." And on page 187 is a picture of Parnall T.1/37 that looks remarkably like a Magister to me.

Thanks everyone for your contributions I have a 1970s mould Dakota, not the new tooling. So I have character in the form of rivets! If there was such a gathering as a RAF Northolt GB, then I would be motivated to do a C-117 In the meantime I'll have to check loft insulation for Aviation News ???

Interesting! The C-117 was used by the American transport squadron here in the UK post war Production about 50 machines. Thanks for that. As much as I would like to attempt this conversion, I'm not sure my skills are up to the challenge.

Thanks everyone for your contributions With Airfix retooling the Dakota, had hoped that interest would be raised and conversions abound Cheers M.M.

Thank you 72modeler Have to work out what to do with my Airfix C-47

What chages do I have to make? Wingtips? Engines? I have the 1970s Airfix C-47 Skytrain mould complete with rivet detail!

Yes, this was how it was done in days gone by. Infact there was an article in How to go Plastic modelling by Chris Ellis. I'll try and find my copy

Mendlesham, Suffolk? If anyone can find out for me I shall be grateful (Facebook and I don't get along) I keep looking at the blister hanger and it looks like the one on the eastern side of Mendlesham airfield. http://tinworm-wings.blogspot.com/2012/03/mendlesham.html

Hi all Did 92 squadron fly the two prop Spitfire MkI around the time of Dunkirk? I've just seen documentary on TV about Dunkirk and in particular pilot Tony Bartley Also have Into The Swarm - stories of RAF Fighter pilots in the second World War, but photos of 92 squadron Spits appear to be rare Cheers M.M.

Great build! But the Bloodhounds at RAF Bawdsey were never that close together

Thanks Folks!

Some observations HS 125: very fragile canopy windows. Anyone who can glue it in without breaking it deserves a medal! New mould please Mig-21 PK-19: inaccurate fuselarge when compared to plans Was PK-41 any better? At leat varient "MF" described. F-86A Sabre: Like to read reviews about this that every manufacturer has shied away from. Why????? Airfix missed a trick with this varient. Future wish list: Siskin Provost Wesley Jaguar T2 F-86A.

Hi all If I wish to finish Mig-21MF in Egyptian colours, do I purchase the earlier release (Gorky production variant, or latest (moscow) production variant?

Thanks for that Black Knight Great looking Bulldog

Someone did do a replacement prop. Annoyingly the who engine is avialable: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/REW72003 minus prop.

Any suggestions about dealing with this, are most welcome Someone did a run of replacement props, but I lost the link when e-mail provider closed my account.

Thank you all for your replies and identifying my confusion. So I seek a EMI Linescan Recce pod. Are there any plans so I can scratch build it?

Hi all Has the centre-line recce pod for Jaguar been produced in 172 scale? Are their any plans so an accurate one can be made from the numerous fuel tanks in my spares box http://www.spyflight.co.uk/jag%20pod.htm Thanks in anticipation M.M.

Thanks Procopius and brilliant link to boot.
