Just a quick update in that the display of the major types to operate out of Horsham St Faith/Norwich Airport has now been more or less completed with just a 1/72 Hunter to add. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1931/45582261552_c6d63170e8_c.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1976/43815130040_a9bf5cfd5...

That really is a very special build and what a fantastic finish. Excellent detail and weathering.

How long was that in the making?

Great shots and thanks for posting, although as Weazel69 states, this was mainly for 56`s stand down Phantom Phinale event, hence the 56 Lightning, 56 F.3. and lack of 74 participants.

74 were still operational with the Phantom for another 3 months after this and had their own Phinale.

Thanks for all the comments guys, managed to finish this now with a nice bit of framing to protect the base prior to `moving this on....`

Thanks all.

I aim to please Geoff.

Glad to see you back, you still playing with the plastic?

Great set of shots mate, glad you had a good time.

Think number 4 ranks as one of your best yet, great composure foreground and background.

Cheers Paddy.

Great looking Eagle.

As you may already know it`s been 50 years since the making of the BoB movie. Leonard Mosley`s `making of` book was probably one of the first books I read as a child and the front cover always drew my attention. It seemed fitting that if I ever came to make a BoB movie diorama, I would choose the fr...

Latest product off the tc production line for your amusement. Both 1/72 scale so nice and compact. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1872/44535248701_83bcd2e769_c.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1841/42726324730_1c347fd7fe_c.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1887/42726324400_ff09f33eda_c.jpg https:...

Nicely built and love the presentation.

You have come a long way since you used meths and a match to create a crash airfix plane!!! 30 odd years ago TC!! Really skillful work mate

Cheers mate.

God that invoked some memories from many moons ago, I`d forgotten about that `battle damage` phase.

Thank you for the kind comments chaps.

A little something, (if you can call the Airfix 1/24 scale kit `little`), I have been working on and off for the last few months based on one of the residents now based at the Manston fire dump. I wanted to do something a little different from the usual Harrier builds you see and after my visit to M...

From 14 floors up on the roof of my office building in the City I was lucky to get a pretty good view of today's flypast. The photo`s are untouched and nothing special, just for reference of the event. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/920/42606622484_4f25882c60_b.jpg https://farm1.staticflickr.com/926...

I could probably find all sorts if I went back through my family tree

Go back far enough, we are all related to Banana's......

Through the 74 Squadron Association I found a home for my Phantom `Cabriolet` model diorama at the Wattisham Station Heritage Museum, so a bit like the recent World cup mood at present, it`s kinda gone home. Along with association secretary Bob Cossey and ex 74 Boss Group Captain Graham Clarke, we w...

Your probably right and I can see that in John`s post. Just saw red with the `decapitated aircraft` comment which I felt was disrespectful to the efforts of all involved with the event. Will definitely be there next year, wanna see the progress with that Puma and Chinook acquisition. Great job all r...

Wow...., disturbed and disappointed to see negative comments about this post. Not every aircraft can be saved and even then, not all the airframe can be saved, so why not save what you can and display it to the best of your ability? Most of these are in the early stages of restoration by owners who ...
