Brandy Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) I just love the subtly differant shades. That, and the little bits and pieces you've added, just make for a real stunner. Top job. Is she going to Telford? Ian Edited April 20, 2019 by limeypilot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted April 20, 2019 Author Share Posted April 20, 2019 Hi Ian thanks, as for Telford she and any others I build this year will be eligible for display on the Birmingham IPMS table and will be there But as I consider myself retired from competitions ( I have to face it, they're all better than me these days. l won't be exposing my weaknesses upstairs any more Phew,what a relief It means all my work is for me these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Lovely model but it did make me feel old when you said that it had been in service for twenty years as I was involved in the design of the software used for stress checking prior to it entering service.

perdu Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well let's face it John, looks like you got it right 👍 With this hobby the whole story is about lost time isn't it I remember the Black Arrows when I was at school (Peter Latham was an old boy and we were frequently reminded of that) and Hunters were the thing and the future was TSR2... Then Lightning's were top dog, before the Phantom And I remember MRCA in its red, white and blackish liveries Where did they go huh A job leading Merlin into service, brilliant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 From what you started with that is very smart indeed, you must have the patience of a saint with all those knobbly bits to fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
