Absolutely welcome mate, I never knew that it was filmed in Welsh Wales, but it does make sense considering I would imagine they were small budget films. I'm saving the dinner party scene till later on in the build. Cheers Pat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then it has been modified a few times, including changes to add the over-exaggerated fabric effect and at least one upgrade of pilot figures. I remember building the Dogfight Double (with the Fokker Triplane) in a rainy caravan in North Wales in the late 1960s. Regards, Adrian I have a similar memory, except that it was in Weston Super Mare, just as rainy but in the mid sixties. I even have a wing or two of both models left in a tin somewhere (Triplane unpainted but decalled, Biff in thick silver from one of those little sets of glass phials you used to get).
