Corgi Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR1

[adey m]

My reworked Corgi diecast Hawker Siddeley Nimrod MR1 in my favourite Nimrod colour scheme, the one in which it entered RAF service in 1969. I had to correct the vertical tail and added all the aerials, vents and pipes. Scratchbuilt power trolley and stairs and depicted parked on a V Bomber operational readiness platform, as I have seen in a photograph of Shackletons parked on the V Bomber ORPs at Ballykelly in Northern Ireland. I know that Nimrods visited Ballykelly before it closed in the 1970s.
