You're welcome Tony - and I do like it very much. This kit has been on my list of possible purchases for a while now and I think your build has just persuaded me even more. I built the new Airfix 1/72 Blenheim MkIV and it was a cracking little kit so no doubt this is just as good. Thanks for the inspiration Tony Kris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Hi Tony, Beautiful work as always. I have fond and not so fond memories of RAF Catterick. We were at a Summer Camp in RAF Leeming one year and they sent us out for the day to Catterick where this young cadet who was only 4' 10 " at the time had to go round the RAF Regiment Assault Course TWICE. The second time round I slipped off the rope swing hit the sleeper walls and did my best Wile E. Coyote as I desperately tried to hold on to the top of the wall before falling to sink in the lovely mud in the bottom. They made me do the thing again. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angell328 Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 You have done a wonderful job there, looks every inch the sleek war goer. I know what you mean about wanting to do some more, it is a real pleasure of a kit to build, and the cockpit looks wonderful under all that glass. Can't wait for you to start the next one.

72modeler Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 Tony- another masterpiece! Love the markings and the scheme, and, of course, your choice of subject. Bet it was a snap and a labor (labour- UK version) of love compared to your current C-130 project! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m already researching my second one! 11 hours ago, 72modeler said: Tony- another masterpiece! Love the markings and the scheme, and, of course, your choice of subject.

I`ve been building it on and off for a while now and while my Hercules is stalled while I rip the house apart looking for the Brengun flaps that I bought a year or so ago,.... I thought that I would get on and finish it off. The Hercules is actually a labour of love,..... I`m really enjoying it,..... so refined compared to the old Italeri kit. 8 hours ago, Dunny said: Lovely work Tony, and great back story! Cheers Dunny,..... glad you enjoyed my ramblings too mate!
