What's on the workbench!

I have been doing a bit of sanding to the 1/72 Shorts Swallow MR.1 and the same on the 1/72 Shorts Sea Lion.
As for the 1/72 Douglas Turbo Sea Dakota GRA.1, I have removed the engines for now. I have read somewhere that the Dakotas were used as gliders during WW2 and a few were later fitted with the Rolls-Royce Dart. I think the Napier Eland will be a better option.
The 1/72 BAC Sledge FRA-1 has also had a bit of sanding done, could be another candidate for the LAMP LIGHT, having found the lower half of the Falcon Triple vacform Lockheed EP-3C conversion set radome. Well it fits under the fuselage, just needs some glue and a suitable paint scheme.

Whilst the Bristol Type 175MR is doable, any updates to the Mach2 model are worth considering, changes to the line drawing will be suttle. More likely ending up with a kitbash using the Revell Dassault Aviation-Breguet Atlantic model kit.
