speedy Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Here is the 1/24th scale English Electric Thunderbird Mk2 by KFS (Kit Form Services). I purchased this at last years SMW Telford show and had this idea to be slightly different in presentation being shown at Farnborough 1966 as an exhibit. This is a first for me as I’m normally an Aircraft or Helicopter builder. The kit itself is resin and 114 bits of etch and I used it all, didn’t skip a bit honest. Even in this scale my eyes were on sticks!. The instructions are ok but there is no colour call out on what bit gets painted in what, but some research helped. The advertising sign is a scaled down actual advert and printed off. The rope fence is matchsticks and metal weights for the base. Anyway the photo’s which are not in the best light, but hey ho: 82251088-5E80-410E-B4C3-C0AD8D15FFC1 by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr 3F5A06FF-3BBF-4137-A379-89D64769B690 by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr E39198BF-7CFD-449A-8819-67D245B57590 by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr BEC69FF1-8359-4C21-ABBB-81F201ACE50C by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr 7DF794B7-67D5-4486-A441-937B71682081 by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr 969D9A69-9EEC-4710-9E39-C49D0955DE0B by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr 47E5ED81-D462-4D71-835C-110924765C3D by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr 24615CC7-0729-4B09-95A2-CEE93F3B65CA by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr 29BABC3C-5BD4-422F-B481-7FDEE3F70CCA by Stephen Priestley-Dean, on Flickr Steve. 47 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedy Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I spoke with the KFS chap at Telford and a Bloodhound is being done now for release in 2020. It will be 25% bigger in this scale. Thanks everybody for your comments. Now back to aircraft.... Edited November 11, 2019 by speedy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanm Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Excellent! I was looking at a real one at Cosford on Saturday and there is most of one standing as gate guardian at the old Westcott aerodrome (former Rocket Research Establishment) north of Aylesbury.
