Although I've seen the RFI for this I hadn't caught up with the last bit of this WiP, so glad I did, your description of the aerials build is such that even I can follow it. Thanks. :)

Already researched these Kev - only about 10 or so were built - fascinating objects - one still extant up north

Coming soon near you when time allows

There is a build on the web elsewhere of one in 1/72 and there are a couple of pics showing Whalebacks attending

Interestingly there's no record of them ever actually having been used in anger

Cheers guys. Nice to meet @longshanks and @robgizlu albeit briefly. Kev, I'd hardly call two a fleet, but thanks anyway. Yes Rob, I found the above launch and now understand what you were saying about net fixings, filed for the future but I don't think BPB MTB's, MGB's or MASB's had them (hint to future builds)

Here's the pic showing the scramble net fittings - I think he's nailed it

I reckon he has nailed it but don't lets make too much of that or it'll go to his head ..... 🤣🤣

 

Both launches looked superb in the flesh Stuart, as did your other stuff. 

 

Now where did I leave those parts for my Vosper..............
