extra photos on the way over Robert.

latest from the production line.




The pre concept for the P1127 here. notice the u/c. and the back end, something a little more simple shape wise than the P1127 we now know and love. BTW that a Mk61 nuke hanging on the center line pylon as the military P1127 was intended as as a nuclear strike a/c in the first place. base kit was the old airfix P1127 and a lot of filler.

I had wondered if there had been a different u/c arrangement.  That's looks real cool.

here we go again...yet more hovering stuff from me.


The P1127 interceptor armed with redtops. this is from a drawing in the new BSP book. Airfix kit with a nose job and redtops from the Frog Seavixen


Another Lockheed CL704/FV-104. Again an esci/italeri kit but this time with my own resin cast pods, rather than scratch built. the decals are from a hasegawa F 104 that i got from IHG.

There'll be a lot of F-104 VTOL derivatives....here's what mine'll look like.

The German is done (at Stafford last Thursday) and the USAF one is part-painted.
