Is there not a time limit on what can be termed as "retro"?
The 747 in Landor is beautiful, but seriously, Landor "retro"?
Is last season's football shirt retro?

As a bit of a duffer, what is the Poseidon??
It's the replacement for Nimrod the RAF are getting.

This won't have any bearing on the Poseidon will it?

Without wanting to add any more spanners to your marvellous work, Sir, but are you going to tackle the badly misshapen tailplanes the kit provides us with? Apparently they're too long and too rounded at the tips.

Does this indicate that the 1/24th scale has, and will for the foreseeable future, become the "WWII Fighter only" Scale? (old Harriers aside).

Amazing stuff!

That'd be a scaled-up reissue of the TARDIS for you then!
Can you imagine the size of the interior photo-etch for the TARDIS? 😵

They've done the Harrier GR1 & 3, as well as the FRS1 Sea Harrier in 1/24, so why not one of the plastic wing versions?
OR
Why not bring out a helicopter in 1/24? I'm thinking a nice Scout or Wasp...
OR
1/48 F-35B Lightning?? Eh? Eh?
OR
The Puma has been crying out to be released in 1/48. They've done most of the rest, well, Merlin and Lynx anyway.... In fact, they haven't done most of the rest...
We'll end up with a Spitfire, wait and see.

Possibly to simulate a busy deck & the amount that it needs for operations. Imagine how much "see, see, seee! It needs the whole deck to get off the ground!" there would have been if they'd used it all
True. Although I'd have played it safe for the first go and given it all the run up she needed, but then, I'm just the careful sort 😉
-
Did anyone notice when it was landing that it seemed to have the weapons door open? Could it be for airflow purposes when in the hover, or just showing off her bays?
Also, on take off, why not have a longer run up? The roll seems very short, and the whole deck was available....

I'm in.
Concerning AlleyCat, experience shows that you have to be patient, but the wait is worth it.

Definitely not 1935, for two reasons I can see. Firstly you can clearly see on a couple of occasions the waste land on High Street from the Blitz. Also, around 2:40 you can clearly see Stirling bombers parked around Shorts.
Could be from different films, but a lot of it I'd say is during the latter stages of the war, or just after.

That's what it looks like.

If memory serves me right, Heritage Aviation did two different conversions for the Monogram AV-8B, one for a GR5 and another for one of the two-seat trainers. I don't know how easy they'll be to find today though.
I myself have a Monogram AV-8B that I wanted to turn into a GR9. Luckily for me some kind soul on here cast me some resin duplicates of the bit's I need. Worth asking. Hope you find what you need.

I love the way you rest your cutting board on a bed of pasta. I must try that....
