Cookenbacher Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Last November, I got to go on the trip of a lifetime: a trip to England with @Procopius and @Navy Bird, hosted by @CedB himself. Recent world events have only painted memories of that trip in an even more magical light. While at the Telford show, @rob85 gave me this: Rob replaced the sprues inside the Revell 'Cookie' box with Airfix, what a guy! I built this kit as my return to modelling after a much too long hiatus in the recently completed Mustang STGB, here. This past weekend, I found my light box and took some pics of my latest builds, including 'Cookie'. I just noticed that one of the prop blades got bent during a recent move, oh well. Until next time Rob! 41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Now THAT's what this Cookie's supposed to look like! I must admit, I clicked the link and prepared for some horror that is the Revell kit, and much effort and skill of the modeler would be wasted on the misshapen plastic. How dare they still even sell that as a P-51?! Great decals though, and thus I was delighted by this great looking build.

Mmmm...wine gums. 22 hours ago, Avereda said: Great stuff, great memories. It was such an ideal trip, a different museum (or two) everyday and getting to meet excellent Britmodellers along the way. 21 hours ago, noelh said: Brilliant, C'mon spill the beans you must have gad some hilarious moments with your Brit buddies. PC chronicled the whole adventure in this thread, and yes there may have been a little hilarity. 😀 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
