Neat stuff, Martin !

Love the big Tombs, and the one in progress looks like an old Matchbox kit ?

I also see you wisely labeled the box, to keep IMFOs wife from chucking it in the bin on ya !

Quite a varied bunch there Martin. Look forward to seeing the Tooms at Doncaster

Nice to see the HL as it appears to be a straight forward mod ? From the Matchbox kit i take it.

QuoteI really like the look of that strectched F-4, that is really great work and I am looking forward to seeing the final result.  Wonder what it would look like with and F-4E nose on it?

Wow, love the 2 Phantoms Martin, especially like the way you've shown us how what you've changed on the F-4HL.  However I can't help but think "I wonder how JHM would have gone about it"  :D

All those ones are great, but I am most of all interested in the canard pusher :wub: ... :wub:  Looks like a XP-55 but not completely, could you tell us more about this strange bird? Thanks (and clapping hands, already)...

Looking good Martin, not an F4 fan but the HL looks slightly less ugly than normal.

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

You are very right, thanks. That explained it with Blohm&Voss and other German planes 1946 in the forthcoming model gallery... :)
