Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Re: Falcons 2022 Workbench
Wow, just wow. A Buccaneer in my favourite colour scheme. This looks really really good. Well done.
When I was a young lad, I spent a lot of my time browsing my favourite book, the matchbox catalog, and one of my favourite planes I dreamed about getting was the Buccaneer because of this colour scheme. In the catalog, it just looked incredible and you have done a perfect rendition of that catalog picture. I never did buy one because it was in the next step up and far too expensive for my meagre pocket money to afford.
Thanks for bringing back those memories.
cheers

Superb Bucc Chris. Agree with BT the wrap around camo does look great.

Re: Falcons 2022 Workbench
Wow!! Agree with BT on the wrap-around camo - I have enough trouble doing one side correctly; I wouldn’t even try that !

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Fan-bloody-tastic! Beautifully finished!
I have been avoiding the new 1/72 kit but this is a great advertisement.
