Last time I saw one airborne was 25-30 years ago- so the simple answer is …..YES please.:)

Yes, very nice CTD.
Nice models. Nice photos.
You are clearly happy with IC power to do a multi-engined model using that power and I admire the finish you produce. I don’t dare spend too much time on a model – or I would be too nervous about flying them.
I can’t get close to the photographic quality either but there are a few more of mine here. I choose the types less modelled and although I do occasionally join the ranks of the humdrum prefer to plough my own furrow.
I have toyed with producing an early B-17 like yours but am really working up to a nice big B-24 – I can feel it calling me!

I like the Meteor very much!!! What scale is it please & was it built from a plan?

Sorry it has taken so long to reply, I am planning to do the same thing myself.

Externally, the main differences are ;- broad (Jablo?) prop blades-these are include in the kit , but seem a little narrow to me , the rear side widows are the same but ther are often additional windows over the wings , the intakes on top of the engine- These intakes are the long type similar to those fitted to Beaufighter X’s & Halifax III’s. I also believe that the Mk X had “porcupine” exhausts to both engines with hot-air ducting pipes to the rear, giong up at an angle into the wings.

There is a photo on the “demobbed” web site- http://www.demobbed.org of Hendon’s T.10 which show some of these features. Many years ago Squadron Signal books Produced a Wellington reference book as part of their “WALKAROUND ” series.

As both Italeri and Revell recently did 1/72 scale MK X Wellington kits, it may be worth a look at these kits as another point of reference.

All the best, and please let us see the finished model.

“…I may have a pocket book that was published around 1943…”

Thanks Rad, and any help is appreciated! I’d love to see it.

AND, Happy New Year everyone! I’ll probably start pestering you with questions next week.

The book in question is called “The ABC of The RAF”, published in order to raise funds for the RAF Benevolvent Fund. I found it out last night & I’d forgotten just how informative it is-covering such things as trades employed- i.e. aircrew to Pigeon keepers, rates of pay, air formation tactics, medals / awards & aircraft types.

Please PM me your address & I will forward it.

Hello New guy, & welcome. I may have a pocket book that was published around 1943 that gives basic details of some of the things you are looking for.

I am not at home yet but will give you the title A.S.A.P.

regards Rad

I wouldn’t mind helping with a few photo’s, but I’ve tried to add acouple of examples but they wont attach. It’s robably cause they’re round about 2mb , but I don’t know how to reduce them down.:(

Howz about these? Gettin ready for the 1990 B of B flypast at Wattisham.

I could be wrong, but I am sure there is a 748 at Finningley- sorry Robin Hood:confused::(. I don’t know the serial, but it is in a red,white,yellow colour scheme.
