Many thanks. I don't seem to be able to find the time now a days to publish my work. Maybe i'll find time in the future.

You say poor photographer but an excellent modller, very nice

Absolutely amazing

Very nice, a tight looking model

Nice looking aircraft. This should be a good one! Looking nice so far

Literally amazing! I love it

Hi guys, I've been searching the internet to try and find a conclusive answer to whether or not there is a replacement for Johnsons Klear/ future? Is the original available in other countries? Thanks justin

Are you planning on just making a chinook or are you a 'rivet counter' and want to make a specific chinook? The reason I ask is that the Revell/Italeri version you have is a Mk 1 chinook, since mid 90's the RAF have been flying the Mk2 (a modified Mk1). If you want to build a Mk2 there are a fair few differences which I can list if you want? This would invloved some modifying and the purchase of at least the CMK lumps and bumps for the outside. Let me know Justin

So, despite my best efforts I'm not going to be able to finish my buc in time for the group build, gutted! I'm off to somewhere warm and sandy tonight and won't be back for 4 months or so. Enjoy the rest of the build, I'll try and watch it. When I'm back I'll post in here an the main forum Justin

Looking very nice, Always nice to see an unsual varient. Justin

If you fancy reading a couple of interesting accounts of WWII Luftwaffe pilots then try Stuka Pilot by Hans Ulrich Rudel and Stormbird by Herman Buchner. Just finished them both and they're fantastic accounts.

Cracking build, looks lovely. The chipping really sets the build off. Justin

thanks for the comments guys

I bought it from Cotney Col. Think you can pick them (21st century) up for about £10

Agreed Iain, I think because it's so cheap you don't mind making mistakes. It allowed me to experiment with a lot of scratch building and I loved the build.

Finished this model a while ago but I've only just found the time to load the photos up. Original started back in March in 'work in progress'. Hope you enjoy Justin

Some more pictures of my progress.

Hi all, I know I'm entering late but I intend on finishing this build rather quickly. Hopefully I'll finish in good time. I happen to know an ex senior RAF officer and because I'm running out of room on my shelves for completed builds I offered to build him an aircraft of his choice. Guess what, he requested a Buccaneer of 208 Sqn. Currently I don't know the paint scheme but I will fine tune that once the build aspect is complete. I must admit that I've been following the group build for a while and you may notice my build bears some resemblance to Pappys build (please take it as a complement!). Having got hold of a 1/48 Buccaneer i decided to invest in a few extras whilst at IPMS Telford. Work has begun in earnest! Hope you'll enjoy what I have in store, more to come in the next few days

No idea mate but if you've got the Italeri Tornado you should get the paragon exhaust set (probably cheaper than the Aries set as well) Justin

Looks very nice mate, Welcome to the site by the way! If you could make the oics a little larger that would be great Justin

I love this build, just trying to finish my own Mig 29 but don't think it'll be as good as this!!

cracking build, love the sepia picture Justin

HAR 3 is correct Justin

Good start, I'm sure it'll be awesome like usual! Justin
