Hi gang.
Has anyone got any info on the aircraft in plastic wrap at the northern end of Scampton's runway please?
One might be a Phantom and another possibly a Hunter?
Thanks for any info.
Cheers

Absolutely beautiful. ❤️ (Neat base too).

Always enjoy seeing pics of "Miss Helen" in full song after having built my Tamiya kit as her.
Smashing images once again.
Cheers

Superb images. The light can be a big challenge at Duxford but you've nailed it.
Brilliant.

You've really captured the graceful lines of the Spitfire in this photo essay Ian.
Who would have imagined the Prefect T1 could look so magnificent.
The manufacturer would be proud of that capture. Fine job. 👍

Cracking photos.
There are a couple there that are reminiscent of a Gerald Coulson painting with the way you've captured the light.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing.
Cheers.

Most.....what's the word?......."atmospheric"
Good job given the abysmal British summer weather.
I can empathise having had soggy everything at Fairford in the past (even down to the F-16 taxi) so appreciate you sharing these.
That first shot of Blackjack is my favourite. At least the grey of the weather shows off those afterburner cones to perfection.
Cheers

Wonderful collection of images. Makes me wish I was going.
(*see the edit) Is the event still going ahead?
I know from personal experience that adverse weather can mean it gets cancelled. Hope it isn't affected by the forecast high winds in the south.
Love the colour of that Chinook. Is it Dutch?
I imagine it's meant to be that shade and isn't faded olive drab?
I like the way the low viz roundel is made up of shades of the same colour.
Thanks for sharing and enjoy the show.
Cheers
Edit* I can see that it is taking place as there is a livestream being shown on YouTube 🙂👍

What a marvellous collection of images each one a gem in its own right.
Extremely tough to choose a favourite but if I had to it would be the evocative capture of the tractor towing G-ACSS surrounded by white overalled ground crew. If that pic was b+w or sepia it would look period.
Great stuff.

The Saudi Hawks flew with the Reds today. I spotted both teams together in formation over Lincoln then red white and green smoke as the Saudis performed their display.
I feel very priviledged.

Thanks for the responses guys. I apologise, I should have explained that I am currently modelling a Mk IX and wondering whether I need to add any extra detailling in the opening.
From what you've suggested it sounds as though the flaps are likely to be closed on a parked aircraft although it's at least feasible that they could be down in certain circumstances.
I appreciate your help, thanks.

Hi folk,
A quick question for Spitfire cognoscenti.
When parked with the engine off, are the radiator flaps open, closed or depends where they were left when the pilot dismounted?
It's tough to tell in many pics of parked birds.
Thanks.

The Lanc has just flown over Lincoln to commemorate that event. Epic.
As is your engine Craig. What a delight to see. So much hard work but it looks spectacular. Well done. Very eager to see what you do with the Eduard exhaust stubs. I shall be taking notes.
I tend to agree with you on the rib tapes. It's very easy to overdo them in scale. Remember, they are all but invisible from even a few feet away on the full sized aircraft.
Good luck in figuring out a suitable solution for that conundrum.
Cheers.

Thanks - this was the pre-order with the 3D printed exhausts. I cleaned them up off the printing blocks, primed them, then a coat of Alclad Burnt Iron. 2-3 brush coats of Citadel Devlin Mud wash, and I think 2 coats of Citadel Nulin Oil on the two rear stacks.
Cheers RobExtremely effective. Thanks for the tips

Loving those exhausts.
Are they the resin set included by Kotare?
You've made a good job of them. 👍
Superb Spitfire all round.

It's a great reference and is just the ticket.

Wrapped storage aircraft at Scampton

Hi Mark, thanks for the info.
Yes, I think there may be an Su-22 wrapped up.
