Re: LS P-3

It's actually a really good model - finding the one in Iranian markings during a trip to the US was one of the reasons I got into 1/144.

There are lots of Orion decals out there too!

Re: Stoke on Trent show report - 31.8.25

A great show - being held in one hall on a showground very reminiscent of the much-missed 'Newark' shows Like Tim a number of my exhibits still had wet paint but we managed to field-trial the new hexagonal bases (long story - see 'sometimes you get lucky on KG144) 20250831_153231[1].jpg 20250831_153...

SIG sees vintage aircraft

The SIG recently had a day out with real aeroplanes at Yorkshire's Breighton Airfield - think Shuttleworth in't North - The Real Aeroplane Club recently held its annual 'G George' * day and Tim, Emma, David Ferrari and yours-truly were there to enjoy the 1940's atmosphere as well as a host of superb...

Re: Mildenhall, 7th June 2025.

The very mention of Mildenhall conjures fond memories of Bud, Burgers and Blackbirds.............

Good to see what two members can do - Terry's scratchbuilds never fail to impress (and inform) and of course your heavy metals were spot-on for the venue.

Nice one gentlemen!

Re: VE DAY 80

If that didn't inspire on all levels I don't know what would! an absolutely marvellous idea, and taking it into schools has to be good news.

My salute sir!

Re: Airfix missile at 1/144 ....

Superb diorama. Very evocative and locally significant - I have been known to frequent the flying club at Breighton. Once upon a time it was a Thor base, three launchers being sited on the old main runway. There were also two batteries of Bloodhounds to defend them. Like the Thor pads the Bloodhound...

Hinckley 6th April 2025

The SIG had a good, if somewhat cramped day out at Hinckley on Sunday. Given we only had six feet and one chair (which on reflection sounds like a character in a Terry Pratchett novel) it is perhaps fortunate that both David Hart and 'Team T&E' - Tim and Emma - were away this year, presumably do...
