    What colour scheme you having for this one Andy or haven't you thought about it yet?
    I've not even decided on the body style yet, never mind the colour lol. Who needs a plan when you can wing it?
    :tears-of-joy:

    I'm torn between a "shiny" towing an expedition trailer, or a proper old bus that's seen some action. Somewhere between these extremes :surprised:

        Been working on this old 1982 era Airfix F-105F for a week or so. Not very accurate, but a nice but basic kit.

            It started off as the Special Hobby Fairey Firefly Mk4/5/6 kit but I am including the old PP Aerokits etch brass set from their vac-form kit which cracket with old age many moons ago. So at the moment the cockpit is in black primer and NATO Black top coat ready for dry brushing and the instruments from the Eduard Firefly set.

              At this rate I'll be finished before the move :smiling5:

              Trailer is coming along. A quick coat of primer hides the mish-mash of offcuts, scratch and filler used to cobble it together!

                  Me again :tears-of-joy:

                  I've made a roof rack for the trailer. It's all a bit wonky and there are too many blobs of CA, but it's my fourth attempt so it's staying :smiling3:

                            Currently on my bench. Rebuilding my older brothers 1972 build of his AMT Autocar DC9965B. Bill built this in 1972 gave the model to me in 2010. Now I’m going to try to do it some justice. Click image for larger version

                              What a glorious rebuild and transformation, cannot wait for the rest. Dutifully parked in queue at the tollgate with other interested parties to join the convoy when ready.
