Just received from Jadlam a few items that I could not get at the show, or was unsure if I had already had them. 1 x 1/35 Tamiya 35323 Israeli Tank M51 1 x 1/35 Tamiya 35380 A34 Comet British Cruiser Tank 1 x 1/35 AFV Club AF35324 Churchill Mk. VII British Heavy Infantry Tank 1 x 1/35 Takom 2066 FV432 Mk.2/1 w/interior Gondor

Since my last post on this thread, I have been to Telford, as some of you will know. It was very nice to meet several of you, @amos brierley being one of those whom I enjoyed chatting with. Sorry to those whom I am not mentioning but chatted with. It was a long weekend with a lot happening in a very short time, and so many people who I met. I have decided to add a second Whirlybird P.1121 to this thread. This will be a land-based version, an interceptor of 74 Sqn. I have already built a 4 Sqn machine, complete with a Red Beard slung under it, so other than building it as an interdictor/ground attack aircraft, I decided to go for an interceptor. I have primed to parts this evening, so cutting and initial prop work will take place over the weekend if it's raining. I have other things to do if the weather is dry. So hopefully there will be an update of some sort over the weekend. Gondor

Yup, hence my comment about not asking for much.

I was looking for an Italeri Short Stirling, either of the bomber versions, but primarily a B.1, not asking for much, eh? The second was the Takom Cheiftain Mk 11. I now have that on order, though. Third on my list was the latest boxing of the Airfix Seafire 46/47. Gondor

I looked at the finished article at Telford over the weekend. It looked very nice indeed. I am hoping that when I manage to get around to building my own, I can finish it as well as yours, Tony. Gondor

The two kits I was hoping to find at Telford managed to elude me as well. I have since bought one of them online. I always seem to want to buy something six months or longer after the darn thing goes out of production Gondor

Looks a lot like a Lightning to me. What scale? Gondor

I am single, and I have never been interested in having kids. Sounds like something you should see a doctor about. When asked if I like kids, I reply, "Only if they are pre-pubescent, they get a bit chewy after that" Gondor

I followed the same basic idea and travelled back north during daylight. I wish I had set off earlier, as getting out of Telford for me was terrible. I could tell I was back in Scotland as I was greeted by a fairly heavy shower. Hopefully, my cat will turn up in the morning to say hello. Gondor

I did an hours stint on the doors to the competition room. We were told one out, one in. Some of the time, I didn't strictly adhere to that; the idea behind it was the Health and Safety of the models. The fewer people in the room, the less crowding to look at the models, the less chance of anyone accidentally bumping, knocking off touching a model. The usual problem with any idea, someone will not be happy regardless of what is done. Gondor

There were models on show? My haul on the second day, 1 x 1/35 Meng TS-051 Chieftain Mk10. I was really after the Mk11, but there were none at the show. 1 x 1/35 Magic Factory 2008 U.S. Combat Vehicle M10 "Booker" (Pre-Production). 1 x 1/72 Combat Conversions International CC172-02 F-16 Block 50/52 Avionics Spine + Conformal Fuel Tanks. 1 x 1/72 MPM 72501 Bristol Blenheim Mk.V 1 x 1/48 Wingman Models WMD 48016 SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1/1.A/T.2 RAF Jags over Germany. GodHand GH-RCN-120 Resin Nipper. And several 3D printed bits and pieces from other modellers. Gondor

Arrived, booked into the hotel and all set up. Very much looking forward to the weekend and seeing so many faces and trying to put names to them. Gondor

You're missing the armrests on those wingback armchairs. Gondor

Probably not. Unfortunate I know. Gondor
