Few more from Telford!

[MarkG]

Thought I'd add a couple more from this event. Was a really enjoyable weekend ..got a few bits and pieces..although I dont think I spent as much as Shaun did
Some of these model's were just amazing...

[Mike]

Great shots,but what is the 8th one supposed to be ?
Looks like a VC-10 gone wrong

[MarkG]

Cheers Mike, your right it is a VC-10.
In the late 50's early 60's, Vickers and various government ministries looked into the various applications of the VC-10.
What they came up with was a Multi-Role VC-10 which could be easily converted from role to role,
Tanker,Troop transport,Casualty evacuation, Freighter, Bomber, Maritime Recon etc

Some really nice shots there Mark, did you relive any traders of there F-16AM?

It was good to catch up with you again, a very enjoyable weekend.

[MarkG]

Cheers, was a laugh as always mate Nah..I spotted every type of F-16 except an AM...
No worries, I'll order one up along with a tin of pearlescent orange

[viper3111]

You nicked my idea

Just a shame I havnt got the Italian green decals yet or the kit as mine is earmarked for my new dutch decals, So I will let you do it

Many thanks for that TC, I thought of you when I saw the 'Abandoned Projects' stand
Wished my photo's of it had come out a bit better though

No worries, .....,

........and don`t tell my missus about `that` stand, or next year you will find me sitting on it.........

Mark, what scale is that Harrier in?

As for the Kinetic F-16a mlu Shaun mentioned, it is one nice kit. I am hoping to put the Italeri Italian decals onto it as the one that came into Waddington this year.

S.

The Harrier's were large scale 1/24th!! Totally awesome as well!
Yeah we were looking at the one Shaun bought last night, looks well detailed and moulded..even the wheels/tire's are three piece assemblie's
Like to see your '16 in ItalianAF marking's when it's underway

[MarkG]

No pressure then!

Haha! Nah, but the kit doe's look good I wished I'd bought the Kinetic's 48th Mirage2000 now as well....
