Thanks Tony I have a little plan for the base

Awesome! Look forward to seeing the base Ian.

That's beautifully finished Ian. Do you have the option to show a missile being launched like this one? (I know you have the talent!) Or is that your 'little plan'?

This one is the 1/48 Arii kit I mentioned (full build here http://plamo.outthere.info/forum/showthread.php?tid=10089&page=3)


Yours would look better as the kit you've got is so much more detailed.


PS My apologies if I've interrupted your thread with images from another modeller's build.

That was/is my little plan Dave


And no problems with posting other builds, nice to see how others have done it

Got the patriot missile painted and fitted to the pod door

Now working on the fire and smoke from the rear end of the pod

Nice work. A battery of Dutch Patriots passed through RAF Kinloss for refuelling. It was weird seeing soldiers with pony tails and beards. It took them all day to refuel before laying up for the night. The next day I was driving down the A9 to Glasgow, my mistake was to leave after the Dutch. Their convoy had the whole section of A9 between Carrbridge and Perth crawling along at 40 MPH.
