True Details ejection seats, Seamless Suckers intakes, LE and TE flaps cut away and dropped, SNEB rocket pods scavenged from an Airfix Harrier and attached to TERs from a Monogram F-4J donated by Jeff Stoermer.

I have a 1/48 Sea Fury and Wyvern nearly finished, not quite ready to pose for pictures.

And I'm still not sure what I'm doing for the GB. :thumbsup:

ive used the dangerboy wing fold kit, the eduard photo etch kit, and the belcher bits canadian avenger conversion kit. I have also scratch built most of the engine detail, the MAD boom and i still need to scratch build the AN/UPD 501 "trash cans" under the nose and behind the rudder. in addition, im goign to have to make my own decals to wrap around the MAD boom. phew...tha

ts a long list.

i wish i had a drawing or a pic of what this will look like when it is done but all i have are copywrited materials in a book and not even a scanner with which to break the law :thumbsup: . oh well..you are just going to have to use yoru imagination on this one.

Been AWOL from the GB for a lot of reasons, one being this ...

Tamiya 1/48 Swordfish II, done for an IPMS/USA review. Basically OOB, with addition of the Tamiya Photo-etch set, control cables to the tail surfaces, and a few other bits. I did one wing spread, one folded for review purposes. Markings are 816 Sqn on channel patrol duties. Photos show the invasion stripes to be hand-painted and that is the effect I tried to achieve.

All the ordnance is clunky so I spent a bit of time sanding down fins, mounts, etc ...

And here she is with two of my favorite books ...

I made a few errors, but I still like it ... The full review will be on the IPMS/USA Review website in a couple weeks ... Kit is highly recommended (by me) ...

Now back to this GB and my Flycatcher ...
