john224 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 WG470 at Church Fenton, good chance I flew in that as Church Fenton was our Liaison base at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Looks like you'll be able to do both of the BBMF Chippies too although you'll need to mix and match the serial number for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Wow - four sets of xtradecal issues - when was the last time they did 4 for an Airfix kit? I imagine that the big H think this baby is going to sell like hot cakes! Had hoped someone might do the yellow bands (like Airfix did in their 1/48 Tiger which were superb!) so I guess my diminishing stash of Trainer Yellow will need to be raided! Can't wait for this one, have one on order with my LHS TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent!! However, one misleading caption I have picked up is that Cambridge UAS were not "based at" RAF Woodvale at any time - it's rather a long way from Cambridge! They may have done a summer camp there one year. Good to see a 5AEF aircraft included, that's at least two Cambridge birds in my future. Oh, and WP970 on sheet 4 was fitted as a glider tug when it was with 5AEF in the 1970s, I believe this was also fitted when it was at Turnhouse.

Rabbit Leader Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Great to see this kit out and available for purchase. Now I'd love to do a BM WIP (ala Beaufort) for this new kit, however they'll be plenty built and presented by the time I lay my hands on one. Cheers and happy Chippy building..

john224 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Tried to order 2 earlier, would let me add to the basket, proceed to checkout and confirm shipping details, but when it came to finalising the order couldn't do it. Seems there's something wrong with the web-site again, other people have reported the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, no telling when it'll arrive as it's coming via DumP it and Drop it... I've also had trouble with the website again as it wouldn't let me change or add another delivery address.

Black Knight Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 For those of us who do not go near face book could you please tell us about it? Is it a problem with the wings as moulded? A builder's fault? A bit of both? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

224 Peter Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 At Boscombe Down Aviation Collection we have WD 321, ex Empire Test Pilots School. Sold in 1975, G-BDCC and written off after a hard landing in 1999. Superficially looking good but internally the signs of the very hard arrival are obvious. But I think I have to model the A/C as it is today... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXANTOMCAT Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 He said they were test shots assembled for the photos and they have solved the problem for production kits mind you test shots or no as a modeller I’m still perplexed the guy who glued em together or who photographed em didn’t spot the banana wings! anyhoo the stuff in the box should be fine which is what counts!
