A placeholder so I can't bottle out of doing this at such a large and (to me) unfamiliar scale once the Sea Vixen builds are completed.... 😁

Wow, made it to the first page also!

 

This one should be a blockbuster.

I’ll just sneak in here at the back and, if I’m quiet, perhaps no one will notice me…

RFI'd Sea Vixens, how's this going for now?

[Pete in Lincs]

Aha! This is where you're hiding. And it's still page one. Should I park the dray wagon on the drive outside?

[heloman1]

So, where are we...

[fatalbert]

You do realise that after the superb sea vixens in 1/72, @1/24 scale,if this isnt a fully functioning,rotor folding,door opening,wheel turning replica,we are all going to be very disappointed 😜

Bit of a gamble… in all the excitement I wasn’t counting the replies. Page one or two? Do I feel lucky?
