Love it Andrew.....
... and I completely agree with your comments on the Beaufighter :smiling3:
.... Did the Airfix one a short while ago,and it's still my favourite Wingy model that I've done

There is something about, so the "Whispering Death" label is almost certainly made up but you can see it nonetheless. And I do remember your build, I have the same one in the stash! One day I will get to it!

Just out of interest Andrew, have you been to the museum in Southampton!! They had a loverly Sunderland Flying Boat last time I visited in the mid 90's. (I wasn't even aware they had one)

Ground level......sounds much better but just make sure it's not raining or a cold and windy day, given how exposed it is and how far apart the hangars are....as I know to my cost!

As for the museum in Southampton, did you mean SOLENT SKY MUSEUM? Never heard of it and just had to look it up. A shame as we were camping on the Solent only a few years ago.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Andrew

Just looked it up!! Yes that's the place. (At least it was a flying boat)!!! Sandringham!!! Nearly a Sunderland!!! Only found by accident. Wet day camping in the New Forest with a bunch of Scouts -
Thanks for the advice re Duxford!!!!

Tankfest 2021 (19th September 2021)

So next in my ongoing collation of my Flickr Albums.

This is one I have shared previously, so only a few pics plus the usual links to the previous post and full album.

So this was originally due to happen in the June but was cancelled due to a lockdown. However, things eased enough in the September for them to put it on at fairly short notice. This was actually the first one Junior and I attended without the rest of the family, in what is turning out to be an annual father and son event.

A limited range of pics below as usual. There are plenty of museum shots too but this is about the main event, in and around the arena.

Original post with more shots here and the full album here.

Imperial War Museum Duxford (December 2021)

Hi all

So I'm on leave this week and so have a bit more time to keep this collation exercise ticking over.

So this was my first visit to Duxford on what must have been approaching 40 years, despite having lived not much more than hour away for just over 30 of those years. It was a dry but very windy day and so being December it got a bit cold wandering around outside.

So as a usual, a few taster pics below, with the original post here and the full album here.

ATB.

Shuttleworth Model Show 2022 (13th February 2022)

So again more shots I have shared previously.

There is a general thread from the show, with lots of shots from a number of members (here).

Mine can be found here. The full album can be found here.

ACW as usual.

All the best.

Queens Platinum Jubilee (Newport Pagnell) (4th June 2022)

So this is one I have not shared before.

By way of introduction, Newport Pagnall is now a small town that pre-exits the foundation of the much larger and adjoining 'new city' of Milton Keynes (where I live) by at least 900 years (if Wikipedia is to be believed), and is first mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.

In short they ran what was billed as 1940s themed street party with stalls, food and the like. There were also vehicle and other displays in a car park and on land just off the high street, some which included reenactors and vehicles from World War II (plus one very modern imposter) and the rest classic cars. There was also a band.

The weather was pretty poor when we were there and so we didn't hang around for too long. This turned out to be a VERY bad idea because it meant we missed a Spitfire fly past later in the day we didn't know about.

As I've not shared this before, I'll post more pics than usual for this thread.

You can find the full album here.

ACW as usual.

All the best.

Andrew

No definitely the real 1:1......:smiling2:

After all it is necessary to properly prepare oneself for the arduous test that is a small model show in a great little museum!!! :smiling5:

Sorry missed you're reply!

And no problem at all. You have all been very supportive since I joined and given that I still have long way to go modelling-wise compared to many on here, it's one of my ways of giving something back.

All the best.
