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

1957 was the original mould. 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.

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).

I'll be Brother Belcher. Who's playing Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond? ;)
