Balsa wood 1/12th BRM and Ferrari F1 cars
John Aero replied to pressman's topic in Ready For Inspection - Vehicles
These beautiful models remind me that I made a series of 1:16th racing cars of mainly balsa in the early 60's, I remember some, an Alfa P3, Bresica Bugatti, and Jim Clarke's Lotus . The wire wheels were celluloid discs and button thread spokes. I too stopped following GP at the the end of the 60's. John -

The Arrow was the "Bike to have" for the ground-crew guys on the Bomber squadrons at RAF Coningsby around 1960. There must have been a dozen at least, along with a few Ariel Leaders. I can hear the high pitched buzz still. I only had a little Garelli and quickly moved onto cars. John

KHAI-1 passenger transport, TEMA 1/72
John Aero replied to Moa's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
The more sophisticated Ju160 bears a strong similarity. Another super build. I need a shorthand for all these builds. so this is ASB. John -
Flying bicycle half-scratchbuild 1/72nd
John Aero replied to Moa's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
At about 42 Sq feet of wing area and an estimated all up weight of 150 lb's, gives a wing loading of approx 3,5 lb's per sq foot . That's going down hill to Hell in a wheel barrow! Still fantastic work. John -

Rocheville Arctic Tern amphibian-1932, 1/72 scratch-built
John Aero replied to Moa's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
There is so little to go on and you certainly have an eye for translating a little into a lot. A bit loaves and fishes. I'm waiting for the time when we nod sagely at Moa's latest revelation... and then he says April fool... To me this plane is just an exercise in moving parasitic drag around. John.. with admiration.- 13 replies

Another of my favorites is the Henderson Glenny Gadfly from the same stable. Moa, you are clearly educating a lot of people and introducing them to a fascinating world. Good man. John- 16 replies
