That Shark kit was one of FROG's really good ones back in the day. Very crisply moulded and fitted superbly. So much better than their other stuff for some reason.

I've still got an unbuilt one in The Loft, not quite sure why though.........

Yes, just a shame about the shocking representation for the engine. I did manage to purchase a crisply printed 3D replacement for the Tiger from Shapeways before that all went to pot. Luckily I had the foresight to buy a second for a rainy day...

More likely a case of the engine arriving at its destination half an hour before the airframe.  ;D
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I never knew that Gosport had a tube station,  mainline then it was removed. The Waterfront Brasserte is worth a visit and so is the submarine museum.

Ah, yes! The shortest tube line in the world, running from instructor to trainee.

From The Bay of e, an Airfix Canberra B(I).8 just handed to me by the Postie. Which will probably be built as an actual B(I).8.

Speak with TeeELL on Britmodeller about the resin detail sets he has which include a corrected nose for the kit.

If that was the 1/72 scale kit, well done indeed. They seem to be as rare as hen's teeth these days, along with the 1/72 PR9 too.

From the LHS near to my country home, a 1/25 AMT Dodge Duster 340, destined to maybe provide more power for my recently purchased Plymouth Prowler. And thanks to Fred Zenrat for the inspiration for that.

And a 1/72 AviS Lesher Teal kit.......................

You may well ask 'What the &&85%4 is THAT?' It looks like this......



The Teal was a very quick, for its size, record breaking homebuilt, and it's a fascinating looking machine, but I'm going to Whiff it anyway, despite it's already well OTT weirdness.  ;D

It's also VERY small, only just larger than my 1/144 scale Tiny SHAR!  :o

I only model in the one, true scale. Shelf space reasons mainly, but also to keep everything relative.
