Hi Garry

Please can you post some pics of your models as i love that sort of stuff.

sadly as i'm finding that i have lost my abilities to build stuff like i used to.

I seem to have moved to the digital way of doing things a little too much.

Regards
Rick

Sorry Rick

I lost all of them in family circumstances apart form a few crushed bits. :sad:

So if I am ever able to make them again I will but at the moment I am unable to.

I had a set of Viscount 700' with the different cockpits air scoop props, radar etc.

Capital, Air France, Alitalia, BEA Red Square, Air Canada, British United.

Also a corrected Airfix Vanguard and a Merchantman.

I recently found the remains of my Silver City Superfreighter and BEA Dakota in the pinstripes using FROG Viscount decals. The Viscount went into Red Square...I think I have a wing of that in a box with a fuse of a RS Trident.

I also cut a Heller DC 6B down into a Canadair Four with modified Shack engines and I was making a Carvair out of the Minicraft DC 6N with a shaped balsa block on the front end and the extended fin and shortenend tailplanes...just needed to do the engines.

Some of these exisit somewhere but I have boxes in various places. I doubt if anything is not broken.

C'est la vie.
