Re: Stoke on Trent - August 2026

Thanks for posting Tim

Re: Micro Ace CP-140 Aurora

Lovely job - one day I'll do a current Canadian bird with all the lumps 'n bumps!

Yes, it's the LS tooling - after all these years still a very viable model, been re-boxed several times - I did one in Iranian 'wavey blue' scheme that has been to a few shows.

Quite inspired to delve in the stash ...

Re: PT 59 JFK,s second command

Lovely job as always

You sort of expect to see it with the torpedoes (hand's up everyone who built the original Revell model back in their youth)

I hadn't realised just how many 50 Cals the configuration toted!

Keep 'em coming sir !

Re: Mikro Mir 1/144 Blackburn Beverley

Re: Aeroclub early Lockheed Neptune

Interesting statistical footnote - given that there's only about 60 of us members, your Neptune seems to have attracted global attention....check out how many views the post has had!

Re: Vintage Classic Airfix SRN-4

That stirred a few memories !

Considering the age of the kit you have definitely sorted it ! I never quite understood, given the box art, why Airfix didn't include a deflated skirt (same problem with Trumpeter's LCAC - Pit Road apparently briefly re-boxed it with a resin skirt but I never saw one ...

Re: Aeroclub early Lockheed Neptune

Nice one !!

You would think, wouldn't you, that someone would have done a new Neptune by now?. That said I've built it and agree it takes a bit of fettling, but it is essentially the right shape - and the vac canopies are thick enough to take some fettling.

Good to see one coming along so well ...
