It's a nice kit and probably good that you want a 1:72 version as I don't believe it has been produced in any other scale yet. cheers, Mike

I think that I may have eventually found an actual transporter that is similar to the dinky model. cheers, Mike

Hello all, first, I apologise for tonight's photos, I seem to have got the lighting too bright this time. With the radiator hoses and the four-part exhaust fitted, the chassis and transmission components are complete. The wheels have been added which helps to make the assembly look much better. So, now I can concentrate on the body. I have been dabbling with the colours and decided to do both the red and also the green with yellow stripe versions. I should be able to interchange these bodies on the chassis until I get a second chassis built. Interestingly, the construction of the cab internals is quite different from any other vehicle kit that I have built. On this model, the internal side panels are attached to the floorpan first, giving a capsule effect similar to model aircraft. This is my attempt to do a dry-fit of the body over the capsule, just to give an impression of the layout. I shall continue to paint the inside of the cab before starting on the assembly of the capsule, which will require the fitting of the dashboard, pedals, gear lever and steering wheel. cheers, Mike

the wind will follow

Thanks everyone for those encouraging words, I hope make a decent effort on Pete's latest model, the Range Rover TACR2. Hi Donald, the snowy is part of a this diorama and the SMG belonged to the figure with the map. cheers, Mike

Hi Dougie, yes, I have that set. I was trying to measure and model them in CAD to 3D print but my skills aren't that good yet, so decided to ask the question about ready-made 1:35 versions. cheers, Mike

rather have a carry-out

All photos are visible to me. Lots of yellow wing. Mike

VP-30, keep troubling us please. I know that you have a lot of knowledge on subjects like these, including vehicles. Without knowledgeable people, like you and dcrfan I would be permantly in the dark about these subjects. cheers, Mike

Looks like it but that's rather expensive, at £12.95 plus postage, for a single 3D printed figure. The 'old style' of cast resin or cast metal figures commanded those prices because the mould making effort and material needed was expensive. 3D printing doesn't use nearly as much material to produce. cheers, Mike

That looks good, what scale and who produces it? cheers, Mike

I've seen a quote stating "on the engine running apron at Boscombe Down". Is that the 'easternmost pan' that you mention? Mike

gone man, solid gone

before they went decimal

used to be two

said my friend Biggus...

Thanks all, now, can anyone please advise me of where on the airfield the TSR2 was located for this photo. Also, what dimensions are the boundary ring? Going by personnel in the area, I would estimate that the thickness of the ring is between 10 inches and a foot (25.5 and 30.5 CM). Any help will be very much appreciated. For information, I am being asked for this information by a fellow BMr. He is Chinese and Google translate doesn't always translate his queries perfectly; therefore, I am helping him by understanding his query and asking on his behalf. Cheers, Mike

probably only fifty drachma

Thanks, I'll go with that. Mike

So, still guesswork as to what the sign actually says? cheers, Mike

Thanks Pete. I got delayed with a few things but I'm back on track now. cheers, Mike
