    Soooo.......

    Me & Gill got married the day before her birthday, it's a strategy that works I tell you, I've yet to forget one (14 years this year)
  5. I've also read that we've now commited to the full buy of 138 a/c, but I'm not sure where I read it, I also seem to remember that it is 138 a/c over the course of the projected life of the project, so that smacks of a protracted program with multiple small batches, although apparently the MOD has stated that a/c supplied from early lots will be upgraded to the later lot standard, which should include Meteor & Spear 3 missile compatability (although thats still a few years away yet).
  6. They can carry a GAU-12 Equalizer 25mm Gatling type cannon, the complete system is mounted in both pods, one pod has the gun system, the other pod has the ammo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-12_Equalizer
  7. Unfortunately mine all got lost/ damaged during a series of house moves. Not long after I made the step up to 1/48, it's taken many years but finally the mainstream manufacturers have caught up with my wants list in 1/48 😉
  8. I'm following, I have plans for at least one 1/48 COD Gannet in my future, and it may multiply from there. Many years ago I did a couple of 1/72 Gannets, a COD version using the venerable Frog kit with scratch built cockpits and using Modeldecal markings for Ark Royals COD.4 and an AEW version using an Aeroclub mixed media conversion kit comprising vacform fuselage with white metal additional parts, decals for HMS Eagle came from a ModelArt decal.
  9. Looking forward to this one, personally I think it complements the Airfix kit really well and will fill the hole in so many cold War FAA projects. Depending on the price I may have to get 2, 1 to use with the CTA "Ark Royal Sixth Commision" decal and another to wear HMS Eagles' Chinese Mahjong fin emblem.
  10. Hi Ben, Both the feathered prop conversion and the baggage pod are looking great.
  11. AFAIK all the F-35B's destined for UK service have been finished in a standard scheme with roundels below the cockpit as the intake flanks have intake warning markings.
