Another display deck at The Hangar got a bit of re-arrangement yesterday. The Canadian 🇨🇦 section now has a couple of more early jets added. (The maintenance crew wore themselves out with all that maneuvering in this tight space.) - Cheers 🍻 #ModelAircraft

The November issue just dropped. 💥 It kicks off with an essay on remembrance appropriate for this time of year, triggered by the photo of this magnificent Lanc. Thence onwards to Avergreen, a new feature for viewing article photos and an adorable 🐸 little green frog. (📸 @goodnrg.bsky.social) | 🛩️ ⚔️ 🥇

Right, that is me done with the Airfix Shackleton. A very good kit, great decals and in the end a good looking plane. A few mistakes and a few things I will do differently next time but overall happy with how it's turned out.

This Weekend in The Hangar: The crew hadn't seen a new arrival in a while but this week it happened. A sleek dual-seat CF-104 Starfighter pulls in to add to the #ModelAircraft collection. Check it out in more detail at: www.flypastrush.com/post/tf-to-c...

Making progress. The plan is to drop UV-curing clear resin into the portholes then sand and polish. I’ll use my vinyl cutter to make circular masks. This kit is ok, but it proves that ‘new tooling’ is not necessarily good tooling - a lot of cleaning up parts.

Nakajima A6M2-2...basically a Zero with floats. A 1970's vintage kit by Tamiya. Cheap and a quick bit of fun.

My 1:24 scale Seafire Mk.III is on loan to Sheffield and Rotherham IPMS and will be featured in their tribute to Eric ‘Winkle’ Brown display at Telford this weekend.

They’re a talented bunch and the display will be well worth a look 👍😊.

Been making steady if clumsy progress with the Italeri Sunderland for the #HeaviesGB
Paint looks a bit patchy but will hopefully come together.
Fun to get back into 1/72 after about thirty years....

Ok, it’s done for now. It’s off to the Aviattic stand at Telford this weekend (if it gets there in one piece 🤞) and I’ll finish the details and do a proper job on the propeller when I get it back.
