I’m visiting New York midtown next week, are there any model shops there to visit? Al

Thanks Mark, I was hoping that I’d be able to pick up one of the Hasegawa kits that have recently been released but nothing on eBay etc Al

Thanks Alex, PM sent

Hi all After quite a long absence from the hobby I’m getting back into it and am looking for a Gr5 nose to use on the Revell Gr7/9 kit. I’ve done so much searching but to no avail, before I give it up as a non starter does any one know of where I could obtain one from please Al

Nice work so far Iain, are the instrument decals the ones out of the kit? Al

Thanks Dave, that's really useful i'll get the kit and the decals ordered tomorrow.

I'm wanting to build XR808 using one of the Roden Kits, as its a C1 which one would be the best to use having the minimum amount of fuss? Also i'm looking at the RAM Models decals, these are for the Airfix kit I believe, will they fit ok onto the Roden kit? Thanks Al

Hi Selwyn, I'm need the size of each bit of the tail and how much to add/remove material from these bombs I have here. Al

Does anyone know is there are any of these bombs with 118 tails in any museums that you can get close to or is the any detailed plans out there, i'm struggling to find anything. Al

That is typical, if you ever think of doing a 2nd edition give me a shout Al

I've found the 540's using the measurements above, i'm looking at a scale length of 45.4mm and diameter of 6.9mm These are going to need some fettling to make them accurate Will hopefully get them look like these

Thanks Bobski, i'll dig out my Buccaneer. Thanks Nick, once i find the Buccaneer, i'll measure the up. Al

Evening everyone, I'm trying to find a 1/48 540lb bomb and 540lb with 960 fuze for my Herrick Harrier, does anyone know if these are availble? Al

Thanks, I was fortunate to work with the Harriers in Afghan just before they were replaced with the Tonka, one of them was ZD433, it was one of the lucky ones that stayed in the UK after their retirement in 2010 and now resides at the Fleet Air Arm museum.

Very nice, I love the weathering.

Oh this is nice, amazing work on something so small, the weathering looks spot on.

Great work so far Flipper, that carbon work looks amazing.

Oh my giddy aunt, this is amazing keep up the good work Al

I had to do a double take of this picture, I thought it was the real think. Nice one Si

Mark I was fortunate to see this last week too, the access gate is now blocked and if you want to see this you have to do the walk. We didn't get to see the northern lights either. Al

Si It's coming along nicely, great result from PALL, if you need to order a minimum order to enable 3D production I'll have a set. Keep up the good work Al

Omg can people stop putting their really good work on here makes me want to buy one now I like that a lot well done Al

Thanks everyone I've spoken to a few people now that have visited Ali al Salem from the time it was painted and beyond, some not so pleasant stories regards to sqn rivalry but all taken in good jest I hope and the times they all used to stand on top of the has when the Tonka's came blasting over the top

Andy Are you after 1/48 or 1/72? I have Modeldecal sheet 95 if you need. Al

Thanks for your kind comments This is what I had to work from I don't have many more photos Thanks for looking.
