Great model of my all time favourite aircraft, thanks for posting!

Thanks. As my Grandfather crewed Shackleton's this was a labour of love to model an airframe he actually crewed.

Work is progressing on the Shack. She's been painted, and already for decalling. Images to follow later

Thanks everyone. The Shackleton is pretty special to me as my late Grandfather crewed them, and had a soft spot for them. WR971, the subject of this model was the only MR.3 he crewed, so '971 was a dead cert to depict. And one complete fuselage. Now onto the flying surfaces. https://live.staticflick...

Made a start and got the Weapon's bay done.

Here's a link to the review of the kit with history of the MR.3 also https://dazjg1971.blogspot.com/2019/10/ ... -avro.html And my article about the aircraft crewed by my late Grandfather, which includes some details on why I'm depicting this particular MR.3 https://myaviationandgeneralpictures.bl ....

Best thing about yesterday was the fact the Lancaster couldn't make it..

Seeing as my late Grandfather was ex Lancaster air crew he was a W/OP. I take offence to that remark.

From Shuttleworth's Military Airshow 07/07/2019 when one of the BBMF's Hurricane Mk.IIc PZ865 arrived for the Hurricane gathering.

A couple more from me. I'm a big Hurricane fan, so these fit the theme. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47928647356_1363cc9ba8_z.jpg 61b98f37484bdb349a85f2d1e9a28a38--hawker-hurricane-d-day by Darren Greenwood , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47928644178_c2451f568f_b.jpg Mail_bein...

I was told that the larger sponsons on the Puma were for fuel to give the Helo extended range. And that this was going to happen to the entire Puma fleet, but as mentioned it never happened.

Hi everyone. Here are some of mine from RIAT 2007. I do have more if anyone is interested? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/46940780035_99d630a4b3_b.jpg 53199776_2546915572047260_5906453151606636544_n by Darren Greenwood , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47804720882_a1fc7fbc2d_b.jpg...

Cockpit with seat. The reason for the red brownish colour seat was because they were of Bakelite https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4916/44475463790_14baca4f62_b.jpg DSC_3813_12146 by Darren Greenwood , on Flickr https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4913/31353634477_377d629608_b.jpg DSC_3814_12147 by Darren G...

I'm building this for my baby Brother as the Spitfire is his all-time favourite aircraft. I will be building it as a Pre-war airframe with the two-bladed prop. I'm just waiting for a resin seat and some decals to arrive. And its also a long time since I've built a Spitfire. This is the Airfix re-too...

Oh my! Excellent shots. Any idea how long they're staying for?

Shame there is no TE311 in that formation. But glad to see LF363 in there picking up the baton.
