The consequences of testing the depth of mud with both feet at the same time. In some ways the scene has a slight post-apocalyptic feel to it ...

Hi Colin Does this help ? -
Polaris Missile - larger scale model?
Richard E replied to John Tapsell's topic in Maritime Cold War to 1990
It's always easier to suggest that someone else tries to do it rather than doing it yourself (unintended pun) - could you source some plastic pipe from your local DIY or plumber's supplier and scratch build a larger scale missile. Using some dimensions taken from the web, a 1/48 scale Polaris A3 would have a diameter of 28.5 mm and an overall length of 205 mm; the corresponding dimensions for a 1/32 scale missile are 42.8 mm and 308 mm. -
Soviet UFO Interceptor

Looks very effective and utilitarian, it would probably make a very potent ground attack/close support platform. -
That would be the Rivet Joint which was subsequently abbreviated to "Rivet", at least it merited a mention: the Phenom and Texans completed their flypast without comment - poor Huw was probably busy looking through his notes trying to work out what they were,

Mike N's Nimrod AEW3 - the ugly variant! *FINISHED*
Richard E replied to Mike N's topic in Big and British GB
No doubt it's mother would still love it. Curious whether it would have been as effective an operational platform as the Sentry if the "boffins" had been able to resolve its development issues. -
Robert Griffin's Kagero book on the Chieftain is a very useful and well written reference. If I could offer a second slightly "left of field" suggestion: Chieftains by Bob Forrest-Webb, although it's a work of fiction it tells the story of a Soviet attack on Europe, primarily through the eyes of a Chieftain Tank crew.

The Kinetic kits are a good choice for first generation Harriers, another option may be the Hasegawa Harrier GR Mk. 7/9 or AV-8B kits - Revell also produced a reboxed version of the RAF Harrier. Hope this helps.

Sad news, a very talented composer and musician. Another favourite, this time with long time collaborator Jon Anderson
