It is indeed a beautiful build, but mentioning flames to John is very risky! :surprised:

Excellent recreation john , the b/w pic is great . Ive often used the same technique of holding a model up at an angle on a board to get a nice sky behind it , but all too often it nearly ends in disaster as im holding it with one hand and the phone or camera with the other and ive had more than one close escape as the model slides down the board!

Well John, I sneaked in to see the committee when you were out, and they all agreed with us that this was well deserved.

[Airborne01]

Well deserved John, and inspiring enough for me to attempt B/W in the near future - thanks for that! There are some superb B/W photos on the forum at present and yours are amongst them!
