ROKAF Black Eagles KAI T-50B kit options?
carlstavros replied to robstopper's topic in Aircraft Modern
I bought one from Korea about 10 years ago when they were last over, it arrived ok and I look at it in its box now and again! I will build it one day! -
Not only are the issues all the same as before, I know that a fair few of the contributors weren’t paid for their work the first time around. Some of them are owed hundreds of pounds. I’ll not be buying either of these magazines again. Cheers, Carl.

Why is abbreviation such a long word?

Very nice! -
Airfix 1/48 De Havilland Chipmunk.
carlstavros replied to davebruce's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Nice Chippy, I’ll be happy if my turns out half as good as this! Can I ask what paints/colours you used? Cheers, Carl. -
It sucks mate but someone’s gotta do it! 😎😀 Good luck on the check out, I don’t actually have an Aeros rating, my fun was always as an air test observer who was allowed a play afterwards. I have been checked out although our aircraft is long term tech! 🙄 Great news about the 1/48 model T67, I’ve been following your efforts with the Chipmunk and although it was a bummer for you, it’s great that Airfix did it. I’ve started a long while back the 1/50 (close enough!) Heller RF5 but it requires quite a lot of work. I’ve seen some great 3D prints of models recently, they’ve come a long way really quickly! I’ve sent you a PM btw.

Hi Ben, I may be able to help you with this but not until I return home from Dubai with work next week. I used to work on these at Middle Wallop and occasionally at Barkston Heath/ Cranwell, I also occasionally fly one and have spent many trips going upside down. I’m sure I have an old maintenance manual in the loft and have plans for quite a large radio controlled version along with a magazine that may have plans in although I’m not totally sure! If you can hold out for a few days I’ll see if I can help.....but only if you’re planning on doing a 1/48 or 1/32 version of it! 😉😀 Cheers, Carl.

Nice model Mick, it looked great on the club table the other night! 😎

A very civil Chippie (Airfix 1/48th)

Nice job! I’m still waiting for mine from various places! 😔 -
The SA Jetstream in UK military service
carlstavros replied to canberraman's topic in Aviation Photography
Nice write up and great photos, thanks for posting. Cheers, Carl. -
I’d be interested in some of these also depending what you’re looking at? The badges would certainly be helpful. I’d be after 1/48 only though. Cheers, Carl.

Harvard/Texan, predecessors/derivatives STGB chat
carlstavros replied to Wez's topic in Texan / Harvard STGB
Can I play please? 😀 I’ve not finished a model in a long while so I’m hoping that getting involved with a group build will shame me into completing something! 🤔😎 I’ve not decided whether it’ll be a 1/48 Italeri Harvard or the 1/32 Kittyhawk kit. I’m also unsure of what livery it’ll be yet too! Cheers, Carl. -
My 1/72 Harrier collection ...
carlstavros replied to diehard's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Great collection there! -
I remember being bought three 1/72 Matchbox kits for my birthday one year by a family friend. A Warhawk, Northrop F5B and a Mirage III. My dad started to build the Warhawk and I eventually got fed up with waiting for it to be finished so did it myself. I wish I had that inspiration these days! 🙄 One day I’ll buy them again if I can find them for old times sake.

Surely a 1/32 RAF/RN Phantom? 🧐😎

Stunning! Great weathering and photography.
-
That looks great!
-
Fantastic modelling, although doesn’t the MDC shatter the canopy rather than the whole thing detach on a Tornado? Apologies if I’m wrong!

That really is a nice model! Cheers, Carl. -
Pilatus PC-12NG - SovaM ( Amodel) kit
carlstavros replied to Romeo Alpha Yankee's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That looks great! What was it like to build? I work on these and it looks pretty accurate. If only they made a 1/48 one! Cheers, carl. -
