Tom's Initial list

[TomW]

Okay this is just a starter, I may want to add a few more in the next few days as I know there are a couple more in the stash that I'd like to build. All will be 1/72 'cos that's what I build


Rareplanes Fairey Fulmar
Aeroclub Seafire 17
Aeroclub Spitfire FR18
Aeroclub Gannet AEW.3
Airfix Henschel Hs126A-1
Airfix Strikemaster
Matchbox Meteor NF11/12/14
FROG Sea Venom
FROG Firefly
KeilKraft Green Line 'T' Type Motor Coach

Mmmm, some real goodies there! The Aeroclub Spitfire/Seafire pair would make a great mini-display.

[TomW]

Thanks Paul, I'm aiming for my contributions to represent some of the cottage industry CBK's.

Two more for the list:

RarePlanes Seafire FR.47
Gerald J Elliot Yak-38 Forger

And if I'm feeling really brave:

Formaplane Fairey Albacore

The Kielkraft bus would be nice. That reminds me, I have a couple of their models kicking about.

[TomW]

We can add two more for consideration thanks to some lucky Ebay wins:


KeilKraft West Ham Type 'A' Tram
Aeroclub Vampire T.11

Okay, I've lost most of the summer thanks to various real life events but the bench is open for business once more and I've been attacking my list with much enthusiasm . There is no chance I'll manage all the vacforms I originally proposed but I do intend to get at least 3 to the tables; in all probability these will be the Rareeplanes Fulmar, the Aeroclub Seafire 17 and the Hallam vac Welkin.

In the meantime the conventional kits are well underway:

In this shot I've got my three deHavilland twin-boomers:






And in this one you can see the Aeroclub Gannet, FROG Firefly and the two Keil-Kraft kits:







So its full steam ahead for Telford, 10 weeks to go and counting....

Firefly is looking good, Tom - I should bring mine so we can display them as a pair.

[TomW]

Thanks Paul thats an excellent idea.

Hi Tom,

Can I have an updated list of what you intend to bring please?

Thanks
James

[TomW]

Absolutely James, this is the (heavily) revised list:


FROG Blackburn Shark 1/72
Matchbox Meteor NF.12 1/72
Matchbox Meteor NF.14 1/72
FROG Sea Venom 1/72
Revell Fokker Eindecker E.III 1/72
Aeroclub/FROG Gannet AEW.3 1/72
Aeroclub Vampire T.11 1/72
FROG Skua 1/72
FROG Firefly 1/72

And if I can finish it (construction almost complete) Matchbox Sea Venom 1/32.

I hope that'll be enough

Regards

Tom

[TomW]

I can also offer up a couple of the coastal command heavies if we're looking to fill space, Matchbox Halifax and FROG Shackleton maybe? Although they have appeared at Telford before on other SiG displays. All of the list in the preceeding post are new builds for this year.

Regards

Tom

Super thanks Tom!

[TomW]

Just five modelling days left till the big show however I am very confident that all my kits will be ready in time, just the little finishing details to go. Then to prepare everything else

Tom
