Merry Christmas Philippe!
-
That’s quite a task to build! Some of the current Spangdahlem F-16s are over her at Mildenhall on exercises at the moment - quite near me. Haven’t seen any yet, but the Aviano F-16 that were here a year or so ago were fun.
-
Another Skunkmodels R-11? It’s a nice kit. I finally built a Spang F-4G and put lights in it (nose wheel, wing tip & tail anti collision beacon) plus a Spang F-16. I am now up to 8 different F-4s and 6 F-16s. Nowhere near as many as you have
-
Very well. Has been too warm to get much done. Are you building more aircraft, buildings, ground equipment or some of everything?
-
Hi Philippe, I was flicking through your thread again today looking for ideas. How are things going?
-
F-117? They visited Lakenheath so I am sure they were at Spangdahlem at some point
-
Love that scene across the F4s and F16s
-
What could it be? Something stealthy? Maybe a visiting Blackbird?
-
If you want a smile Russ this is the link to the clip of the B-52 arriving at Duxford. Allegedly the shortest runway a B-52 ever landed on. It was never going to fly out anyway, and I hear that the impact of the landing added somewhat to the body side creases!
-
Nice diorama & love the vehicles, stands etc. The B-52 always seems to have creases down the side. This is the Duxford one - it landed shortest strip recorded for a B-52 which didn’t help with the condition of its side panels And we had a nice bit of coverage of a B-52 at Mildenhall last year when one heading back had a double engine fire and made an emergency landing - as someone said at the time the dreaded 6 engine approach. So shots of the engine panels open shortly a after landing keep up the good work
-
Like it! From the Lakenheath spotters area earlier this year
-
Quick question Philippe, what decals do you use for your Euro One F-4Gs? Have an F-4G kit but only 2 tone grey decals for SP. I can only see Milspec decals online but they seem out of stock
-
That back scene is excellent. Really brings it alive, and the HASes, aircraft, etc all excellent as usual
-
Know what you mean. My interest is mainly RAF, so what lightline diorama from 70s & 80s would be complete without a Mammoth Major tanker? But no one does 1/72 or 1/76 (I think there may have been a kit listed on Scalemates but I can’t see it available anywhere). My interest is 1/48 and the same is true. I ended up converting a Corgi 1/50 Bedford civilian tanker in to an RAF one. This is it with a collection of kit & scratch ground equipment
-
Built something that would look at home on your airbase Philippe. I went to RAF Bentwaters and the museum has a nice NF-2 Floodlight set. I wanted one in 1/48 but no one seems to make a kit, so a scratch built one with working lights Happy new year to you too
-
Just finishing an RF-4C but in Alconbury markings. Will be driving past what is left of RAF Alconbury next weekend
-
Love the tower Philippe
-
Wheels can’t be as bad as the ones that come with the old ESCI GR1
-
Not seen a Kitty Hawk Jag build go smoothly yet but not tried it. The Airfix / Revell Jag is a bit basic, but not quite as basic as the Harrier GR3. Nice twin Jag build on Brit Modeller at the moment with lots of extra detail being added. Just starting a Revell Tornado ADV at the moment so looking for any build tips.
-
That’s very true @Eri - any one put together a gallery of Mr Shammas’s work? There are various photos and web postings out there but I can’t find a single place to enjoy his work together. I was a fan of his long before I found that he had posted on this forum.
-
Thank @Charlie D. yes 1/48 Esci/ERTL - think that became the Monogram kits too. Just changed the decals to do a Lakenheath F-4. Have a Italeri RF-4C to do some time soon - going for an Alconbury bird then. Not sure wether to go for SEA camo or Euro Ond This is is the real version of the F-4D
-
I like your engineering hangar Philippe. I have ride to do something similar when I saw the following picture on a webpage I actually wondered if it was a model. It is not - it is the adutch airforce engineering facility at Hoofdorp. So I wondered if it could be made in to a model. My attempt is not really complete. Needs more details and lighting I even vent have a Dutch F-16 to pose in it.

submarines lurking near underwater internet cables
Bar Side replied to southwestforests's topic in Test Post Clubhouse
Sounds like kids hanging around outside a library trying to mooch free WiFi. Sub full of Russians going ‘do think we can get signal on our phones if we hang around by these cables?’ -
Cheers @Joel_W been on other forum but new on here
-
Thanks guy for the kind comments. Just picked up an RF-4C kit so looks like an Alconbury phantom will be joining them soon
