The kippers were fine, if a bit bony. I'm up, Alpha's not but I expect him any moment.

Beautiful finish on the Lightning. And the Mig looks properly weathered. Well done all around.

The crashed mig on custom made snow base. Prop blades bent in hot water.

The Lightning on it's Airfix stand. Red Tops haven't been fitted for this flight. Calling it finished, but don't look for decals on the underside yet ! :)

A couple of nice finishes there. The Lightning I particularly like, looking forward to the new tool Airfix kit.

How did you do the snow? I'm thinking of a snow dio for a GB in June.
