Decals for mine have arrived from Hannants. Unfortunately only decals for 'D' are available so have to check my log book to make sure I flew in it.

Are fixed wing aircraft allowed to be part of it? One of my plans are a Diorama that would require one..

No.1 plan for me is one of the Rasberry Ripple Mi-8's, with a sneeky Gazelle in a SPTA style, No.2 plan is A Cuban Mi-17 and Mi-24 with a basis on an exercise held at an AIrbase (as we spoke about Jamie). Depends on the timing available to me inbetween. WHo knows, might end up with a Cuban Mi-24 providing top cover for a Boscombe Hip over SPTA!

Would have posted at Dinner time but getting ready for work, chasing airliners, swapping PMs with Jamie then 3 Hercs went over the house!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

Anyway, i will hopefully bring to this a diorama containing at least 3 of Shawburys Bell regulars in the shape of Griffin HT1 and HAR2 with maintenance visitor B212 AH1. And if its out soon enough, i will add the Squirrel to it as well. All kits will be OOB with aftermarket decals.
Arabest,
Geoff.

I'm still intending on building this, but time restraints mean I'm going to have to get started soon (I can't wait until Jan 1st as I'll be gearing up for exams by then), or it won't be finished by the deadline.

So if it's OK with Jamie, I'll build this with the intention of showcasing it with the rest of the finished models, but rule myself out of any voting as I would have breached the starting date.

Ben I completely understand about that :thumb: I for one have no problem about you still entering it for voting. Does anyone else? I know Ben is very very busy at Uni so understand his predicament! :(
