I will be starting the Stirling as soon as iv finished the beaufighter it is the bomber command version the last time I saw one of these was 40 yrs ago a friend had built it. It was displayed with a Lancaster and Wellington and looked very impressive..

Hi all can't get hold of the old black Lancaster kit but did build the new airfix Dambusters version did however get a 70s model avro Stirling which will soon be my next project. Currently working on airfix 1/72 beaufighter... Paul

Merry Christmas to all hope to start soon on short stirling from my wish list ...

They look great I'm going to have to get a meteor model most of them iv seen are in metal finish... Paul

Greetings Rob I am also getting back into the hobby I manly build WW2 aircraft in 1/72 and fighters in1/48 some airfield dioramas. I also build German armour and figurines. Iv never built the Walrus but sounds an interesting project. I believe their is a Walrus on HMS Belfast although it is several years since I visited the ship. Hope your build goes well.... Paul

Thanks for the welcomes... As for the midland air museum not far from where I live was a member when it started 40 years ago I was their when Vulcan landed in 1983. Assisted with museum restorations of some of the aircraft... I still visit model shows at the museum.

A lot of detail is hidden in the interior of the fuselage and cannot be seen once assembled ..

Hello to all from Coventry n lock down recently joined the forum as a new member iv been getting back into scale modelling after a break of some years I am mainly an aircraft RAF type but will build luftwaffe and usaaf ww2 models in 1/72 and 1/48 and will have a bash at dioramas... Hope these darn covid restrictions are soon over all the best hope to learn from the forums.....
