Revell used to have a 1/144 kit (based on the first prototype), but its been out of production for a few years now  :-\
i really hope they rerelease it again with updated parts for the TTH & NFH versions  ;D

Something bigger than usual. Configuration, shape and color make me think C-17.

Mrs_PR19 and I were just driving back into England across the Wye Bridge today and we were SERIOUSLY buzzed by two AAC Apaches, one of them at a VERY low level! He was maybe 100 ft above us and well down below the crest level of the Wye Gorge at that point. I assume they were both heading for Beachley Barracks as they did a 180 right after they'd passed us and headed back south over Chepstow. Sadly as I was driving I was unable to grab my camera and get a piccie, it would have been a super shot at that low altitide.

Mrs_PR19's comment was 'That's a very angry looking helicopter, isn't it?' and I can see JUST what she means!  ;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! :)

Maybe, but Harry was a Gunner, sorry, weapons system operator, not the driver.

And you can see this small detail preventing that young man from getting down low & dirty? ;D

Plus he's now flying a desk in Whitehall.

Just had advanced warning that on August 17th the local airfield (Sywell) will be having an airshow and the star turns in the flying display are PA474 and her visiting Canadian sister. So theres a very good chance both will be over my house  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Needless to say ive booked tickets for the show.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.
