Scale Model Podcast

I noted in the most recent podcast there was mention made of "UK museums in England" or similar. Just wanted you to know we have some great aviation museums here in sunny Scotland as well, including the National Museum of Flight just south of Edinburgh, which contains a Concorde, Vulcan, Spitfire, Harrier, Tornado, Canberra and of course the only place in the UK where there is a Red Arrows Hawk on display. Well worth a visit!

National Museum of Flight

Anyway...wanted to pick your brains...a few years ago I flew in a T6 Harvard in Florida...I now have the 1/48 kit to make, but wanted two civilian pilots to add in. Do any of you know where I might find 1/48 scale civilian pilots?

Also on the subject of Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson...were you guys aware he flies and displays his own WW1 fighter aircraft (a Fokker Triplane) as part of the WW1 Memorial Flight. Saw him at RIAT a few years ago and quite the display.

Thanks again guys, love the podcast! We had some RCAF Hornets pass through my local airport recently (Prestwick International Airport) and managed to grab some photos...handy for weathering references (need to scroll down the page a bit)

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH

Stuart - Arma Hurricane is done with paint on major assemblies, only sub-assemblies left to paint are wheels. Gloss coat is next in preparation for decals.

Terry -

Painting going well on the Cavalier Mustang. NASA Stripes added, anti-glare added but I forgot to mask off the walkway. I’m pretty happy with it so far.

This year’s Christmas birds are cut out and primed, now I have to start painting. I’m actually a bit ahead of when I usually start these. It’s a secret until I mail them out and they’re received by the recipients.
