I have just completed this as part of the Golden Oldies GB, it's a great kit for its age, I can full recommend it to anyone.

Excellent result, Alan and nicely displayed. I know from reading your GB entries that a fair amount of work has gone into this pair but it's time well spent IMHO.

Cheers guys, if I see another going cheap I might be attempted to have a go at making a Bloodhound Mk2, the missile would need stretching and the base scratch building.
As the Mk2 used a side loader to load the missile onto the launcher I could also ditch the LR and use more modern support vehicles this would make the conversion easier

Wow. Very nice.
Besting 60 years of mediocre building of average kits in the stand off scale
