    Very nice. I built this may years ago in an Airfix boxing.

    The Saucer section has moulded gridlines. The original filming model (as we all know) had these lines drawn on with a pencil. The kit is more representative of the CGI Enterprise featured in the DS9 episode "Trials and tribbbilations". It builds well, and the pylon/engine mounting is solid.

    Very nice. I do love the look of the Cannon armed Hurricane.

    Very nice, and the sprue layout with the separate fuselage and cockpit parts seems to promise a Razorback at some point.

    Absoloutely stunning build especially considering the age and size of the kit.

    Nice build and recognisably a P38. The canopy looks odd, but Airfix seemed to have an issue getting the shapes and sizes right for some of their early kits.

    Appears to be inspired by this photograph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Blockade#/media/File:C-54landingattemplehof.jpg

    The great thing about the Hurricane canopy is it is flat sided single curve, so you can fabricate a replacement from sheet without too much effort.

    You have to wonder if the original mould maker had actually seen a ME109, or was it just described to him over the phone...

    You don't often see this in the wild, a younger pack member, Identified by their shorter wheelbase, is trying to depose the Alpha, so they will park in the street and flash their hazard lights at each other until one backs down.

    Very nice. Too many colour schemes to choose from though.

    Brilliant build Harryhausen was a genius.

    Very nice build. Not tempted to use the base with the moulded in shadows? 😉

    Nice work. I used that masking technique on an ICM Seehund, I admire your patience, it is hard work.

    Absolutely stunning build. The false shading to create structure is amazing. I would struggle to build a modern kit as well as you have finished this vintage one.

    Very nice. Agree about a re release, so many schemes out there both military and civil. Always disappointed that we never got a mainstream kit of the Sherpa to go with it.

    One of my ancestors, who earned rhe title of "Australia's worst Explorer" once got so lost he had to eat his own camels. According to his journal "boiled and then beaten with a stick to tenderise".

    Brush painted? Absoloutely outstanding finish from a hairy stick.

    Outstanding. That Pilot holding the clipboard flew a lot of aircraft...

    Very nice. I built one of their big BMWs many years ago, sadly damaged beyond repair in storage. Following with interest.

    Very nice build. Looked up the Torpedo Glider, interesting project and ahead of its time.

    I believe that Sir George got his coachman to be the test pilot.
  23. John_W
    Very nice build. So much prettier than the F35.
  24. John_W
    I knew a Frog pilot, didnt even exist from the shoulders down, poor chap...

    That is a very nice collection. The Canadians had some nice colour schemes.
