Fleet Air Arm Group Build

......and while I'm at it...........!

....and:

Cheers Frankie!

Been very quiet around here, Mates! Understandable......

I managed to get four days at work during our slow time. But my weekend begins now!

I'll keep an eye on the deck.....and the rum locker.......until some more mates join in! 

Thanks again Frank! Cheers!

I bought another PE set from http://www.moduni.com/ . The manufacturer is ACE. Moduni part# is 6078719. Just had a look at it again, and it even has the torpedo aiming bars. I will be very happy to get this kit when it arrives. It has so much more than the Airwaves(Hannants) kit that I have. Just wish I could have had it when I started.

Cheers, Richie

Dang!  You're gonna make us wait for more pics?  That's just not cricket!

Yes, the flat finish really helps.  I only hope my Stringbag turns out HALF as nice.

Thanks Darren!

But who's on deck here......I've had me nap and ready to take a tot.....and the helm!

Ha Haaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Avast! 

Barry, the Tomcat looks awesome dude!

What scale and make is it?

Barry,

lovely work on the Tomcat! Can't wait to see more!

Frank,

signal recieved and understood.

Hah! Thanks Frankie!.....as soon as I saw the pics.....it clicked.....then I remembered the annoyance of certain fighters powering up the portside motor in order to get the nose on the runway!

But my memory was hazy.....just trying to help......before the retrofit steering gear how did the Skyhawk get around?

No reply necessary......just observing
