Yes! Laurie, being a Junglie (Wessex grubber) and having both the kit and conversion set, I'll drag up a seat a watch with interest.

Looks like another interesting build Laurie. I presume you’ve dusted off the Falklands diorama.

Dusted off. Builders opposite have deposited more dust & grit. Suprised it has not reched you.

Having recently built the Hasegawa kit with the full Eduard PE extras I admire your commitment to this conversion! Looking forward to the updates.

Thanks Martin. I admire your commitment. I could get cold feet.

 

Thanks all very much appreciated 7 for taking the time.

Oooooooh! This looks fun. If I promise to be good can I watch?

Q

Yeah all right Doc. .

 

Falkirk. Mmm just below Stirling & the famous Wallace.

Wore my first kilt in Stirling some years ago.

 

Family history. I am English, Surrey born. However maternal Grandfather, a Johnson,

was a Shetlander. Paternal Great Grandfather born in Glasgow.

 

My two boys have kilts in the cupd. Just to keep that history alive.

I love Scotland it is God's own Country.

Excellent looking forward to this I was able to supply mr parkins with a fair amount of info and photos during his research..

 

Wow that is interesting Viper. Often wondered where & how difficulty it is to get info. Especially on new military aircraft.

 

Hope you do not watch to closely you may give me the jitters.

 

Sad at the moment as David Parkins has 4 SeaKing set available but there are just not any Seakings at 1/48.

A fine looking group - you certainly suit the kilt! 

I'm ashamed to say that I can't post pics of mine as I'm on the island of Barra at the moment without access to my pics.

Best wishes,

Q

Niall Robertson

3 kilts in the wardrobe!

Thanks Niall. Very kind of you.

 

A thought great name Niall. Drop the Dr. stuff & use Niall. Great Scottish name

 

Interesting. Joined the internet in the times of the Sinclair & Commodore computers.

Always used Laurie Where ever I go the Doc. Dentist local shop it is always Laurie.

 

With the strong Scottish ancestry we gave both our boys as a second name Ian.

Laurence came from my Great Grandfather of Shetland heritage.
