Vickers VC10 1/144 Roden


Recommended Posts

Looking good, and glad to see this kit being built, it's one many here are looking forward to

And good to see that spent .22 cases can have a use in modelling, I've got a few but never thought of using them this way.. :)

Maybe I should think of rejoining Dublin University Rifle Club after all. The cost of joining DU Central Athletics Club first has put me off so far

These masks does my printing department. Roden also interested, I think it will be a basic kit.

Thanks for the reply. :yikes:

The question is, if you're not too bothered about accuracy, can you get away with applying an RAF colour scheme?

I did 5 years at Brize Norton and would love to do a 10 or 101 Sqn jet

Yes , If its a standard for the C.Mk1 and K2 . K3 and K4 from Supers.But you'll need the refuel gear where applicable,thats a bit of detail you cant leave out.

Did two tours Feb 86 - Nov 88 in the Communications Centre and Jul 97 - Mar 99 on Tactical Communications Wing. Remember on my first tour we used to get pinged to go across to base hanger to hand polish the VC-10s for VIP flights.

Ha, imagine TCW cleaning Tens,thats funny. They weren't short staffed in the mid 80s,can't believe it,thats the sort of thing that happened on Queen's Flight. We couldn't get engines,Leckies and Fairies (oops Avionics) to clean the things they worked on.

I'd like to do a RAF aircraft, remember flying backwards in one when my dad was posted to Malaya in '67 I think, were among the last to leave when we left Butterworth to the Malaysians and the Aussie's, again in a VC10 :thumbsup:
