Yellow rubber gloves…
Dodgy chat-up lines…
Taking yer gun to bed…
Should I be worried? :highly_amused:
Isn’t the amount of thread drift incredible?!
Don’t worry Tony, they’ll be on sale in about 2 weeks. :p
Mr Merry – You may already be sick of it, but the fact remains – You still said the ‘C’ word. And it’s still only November.:highly_amused:

Jim, plant some Marigolds.
Apparently, cats do not like them.
And as for an ex-Fuzz to threaten shooting a cat…!:mad:

Enola Gay does have ballast weight in the engine nacelles, (and anywhere else it would fit).
I built her with a full interior, which didn’t help…
A few more:
Fairey Battle Mk.I L5499

Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley Mk.V BD230

Handley-Page Hampden Mk.I X3154

Handley-Page Halifax B.III MZ519

Thanks for the comments, chaps!
paul178 – Yes, she is a tail sitter. The kit instructions actually tell you to use the ladder as a support for the ar$e end.
My other B-29, Enola Gay (Academy, 1:72), would also have been tail sitter, but is packed with lead weight so doesn’t need support. She is bloody heavy though.
More to follow soon. 🙂
Looks like we are in for yet another treat! :eagerness:
Fantastic shots, Bill. Many thanks for posting them. 🙂
Dr Strangelove – Isn’t the shot in Post #1 a still image from a short movie?
According to the Daily Mirror’s Twitter feed, it has now been successfully defused and removed.
I’m in the “against” camp (no funny comments please) with regard to HS2.
We HAD a high-speed route that was intended to link with the (a) Channel Tunnel. It was called the Great Central London Extension.
Beeching closed it.
There was a proposal to re-open it a few years ago, which came to nought.
…Far less destruction of the countryside…
I have to take issue with that comment.
Compare the amount of land required for a motorway with that of a railway. Then get back to me.
Jim, there is a quite valid reason why modern trains are affected by leaves on the line.
It wasn’t such an issue with the older locomotives and stock.

There used to be a chap on eB*y selling a CD-ROM with walkaround-style photos of both survivors.
Not sure if it’s still available…
By the way, great choice of subject.
Very nice models, Graham! :applause:
One doesn’t see many Warning Stars, let alone built ones… You have done a mighty fine job on yours!
Like the target tugs, another not-very-popular subject, from what I’ve seen… I’ve always had a soft spot for the Beau and Meatbox.
Your Fury is rather nice, and, unlike me, you have got the upper wing decal on the right way round!
That DH Hornet is lovely. I now regret passing-up one of those.
I like the Canberra dio. Poor old thing. I wonder if anyone will save her?
Thanks Andy. 🙂
Look forward to that! 🙂
