There has been some issue with the Wessex's so they have now been removed. Glad I saw them when I had the chance

Worth a visit if you're in the Bay. I think they have an airshow late Jan (anniversary weekend?)

I usually go to the local museum when I'm home each Christmas. What was interesting was the 5 RAF Wessex helicopters they have acquired, not a type I knew had made it to NZ. from what I read online these machines were used for logging operations here for a while but are no longer airworthy (AFAIK). I'm not sure what the plans are. there are more images in the photo stream if you click on any of the images below IMG_1147_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1090_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1093_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1082_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1085_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1119_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1071_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1110_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1114_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr Interestingly how light the blue and red are on this Campire wing IMG_1105_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr IMG_1086_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr The other thing of interest was the Skyhawk tank which is discussed here IMG_1101_edit by Calum Gibson, on Flickr

Lovely work complimented by great photos

Terrific work on both

Really nuce work there. Love the photography, very atmospheric

Chieftain, Challenger. .anything modern is my hope

Wow some great stuff happening here. excellent attention to detail and skill. Looking forward to seeing it progress more

Interestingly I expressly look for Cartograph decals as they rarely if ever silver, are robust so can be moved multiple times without tearing or folding up and settle down nicely into the recessed details. Their print quality can't be beaten either. I love that Airfix are using them to pint their decals in their newer kits. I've even bought replacement Lightnings just to replace the awful original Airfix decals with the newer Cartogragh printed ones.

Wow busy year

Well done on all that surgery Eric. Some great solutions there

Is that a Spitfire in the sprue rack? Revell?

Great Photos Alex, please post more or link to somewhere where we can see them Politics aside, that the Iranians have managed to keep even a portion of their F-14 fleet airworthy for such a long period without any official OEM support is quite amazing.

Nice The F-104 and Syrian Meteor are my picks

Thanks Bruce , and any time with for the masks
