JOCKNEY Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 As you will see from the photos below this build is over the 25% rule so I have asked for permission to add it to this Group Build for a special reason. This kit used to belong to a fellow kit Modeller called Donald John MacKay, who lived locally in Oban and was a good mate of @Scimitar . Donald passed away recently leaving his family with an extensive stash of both books and models from a lifetime of collecting and @Scimitar real name Richard was a great help to the family in enabling them to get proper value for the items. This kit and others Donald never finished were rescued from the rubbish bin as the family were clearing the house. I have asked Arnold @Arniec for special permission to join this GB with this kit to finish it as a tribute to Donald. Arnold has been kind enough to allow the kit to join the GB, for which I am especially grateful. Many thank Pat 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 There's no "💝" to choose as a reaction to your post, Pat, so I have to add one in this comment. A splendid tribute. V-P 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlemaster Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm sure that when completed this model will hold a special place in your collection. Looks like plenty of work still to do . Cheers Alistair 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Law Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nice tribute Pat. I'm sure you will do your friend proud. I built that kit back in the eighties. It was one of my best builds. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_W Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Another "Well Done Pat". I will follow with great interest. As many have said a fitting tribute. I think all of us would appreciate someone helping our families to get value for our collections - reference materials, tools and kits- built, unbuilt and half-built - or at least find them a home where they'll be appreciated.

JOCKNEY Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Apologies everyone, work, family and other builds have prevented me continuing with this one. However fear not, it has found a new home in the MTO III GB, where I will endeavour to do this one justice. Regards Pat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
