Either you've got the fastest hands in the west, or you've made these earlier !!! Maybe you're a Blue Peter presenter lol

Some superb models, they must look pretty good all lined up on that huge shelf you must have !

Another lovely pair. Met aircraft are an often overlooked subject, your work realy does them credit.

[Julien]

I like that one,

Thank you ChancerUK, I absolutely agree, a much underestimated and necessary branch of aviation.

That Herk is very, very nice, and a good representation of some very hard working aircraft......They go where others turn away.

[Ed Russell]

So, you DO build things other than Canberras! Nice looking Herc - nice build, I like it. It's good to see the unsung things like weather recce being represented.

Incidentally, it's still a long way to Canberra once you get off the boat! Have you done a RAAF one or the 'Last Great Race' one? Not that you need suggestions I guess. I must do a Canberra one day - I rather like the S.C.9.

Hi Ed

I will be building an Australian one in 1/48 it's on the production list for 2011 it will be one of the Cartographic survey of Australia Aircraft and a SEA vet. I will probably build one in 1/72 too one with a white top and the big roo roundels that's such a lovely scheme. You've got me with the " Last Great Race" can you enlighten me please? IF you do get the urge to build a Canberra don't fight it you know it'll do you good .

London - Christchurch 1953. The winning Canberra is still extant in the RAF Museum. A friend of mine has built the red Mosquito (which looks gorgeous) and might do the Canberra, so some decals may be forthcoming.

Thanks Angels49 it is a subject that tends to get overlooked. Not the sexiest of jobs but but as you rightly say "They go where others turn away". well worth a bit of recognition!

[Graeme H]

Really very nice, and so different looks great with the Cranberry

[Romeo Alpha Yankee]

Another nice Duo John. They look great!

[canberra kid]

Thanks Trojan and Graeme!
