Hi again all, Its a two in one day today! A few more RF's. This time they are taken at Key Field, near Meridian, Mississippi. The unit - the 153rd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, Mississippi Air National Guard - had only recently returned from a deployment to RAF Alconbury and was less than busy on the day of our visit. Even so it was great to see them "at home". The first one below was different in that the green in the fin flash was much lighter. Otherwise they were all the same :). Here goes: Martin

So having finished my build at 1:144 Scale I have decided to shrink back down to 1:700 scale again. I thought I should share my build of a kit I picked up at the South West Ship Show in Portishead a couple of months ago. I had not seen one of these before and was not aware of the manufacturer also there was a nice model of Victory on the stand and temptation got the better of me. I know that this model doesn’t fit with my usual of modern warships but my excuse is that HMS Victory is still in commission as the Flagship of CinC Fleet and features on the back of my Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. So starting in the usual fashion with the contents and packaging label The hull is cast in resin to a good standard the mast and spars are white metal with PE ratline. I bought the extra fret for the sails. The following pictures are my progress of my build so far. Much of it has been a lesson in hand painting which was made easier by using Vallejo acrylics. Rigging is 80wt cotton thread. More to follow soon. Thanks for looking.
