I didn't really have a blog under my old name well not for years. So here is the new one.... Just some random modelling related jottings.

First off would the FAA seriously look at an anglicised FA18 for a suitably adapted Queen Elizabeth class carrier?

I think EDSG would look good on a Super Hornet.  :wacko:

Charlie_C67 that looks good. Mine will get ASRAAM and Storm Shadows.

Today's modelling also has a naval theme.... Xtrakit 1/72 Saunders Roe SRA-1. Going for an ocean grey finish on top with aluminium undersides and BPF markings. More work on this tomorrow.

A nice kit that SRA/1. Needed longer wings though, so I added some.  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

BPF sounds good Trev. Would work for the Op Downfall GB if it gets the go ahead (be a bit late for your build though)
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

There was quite a lot of artwork circulated around the new aircraft carriers with the Hornet on the flight deck.

Decent kit yup, but I was surprised at just how large and ugly the thing was.

Did mine as Greek.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

It sure is big, but they wanted long range and it had two fuel hungry engines of the time.
