    Small is Beautiful......why not try something in 1-87 scale Richard. Plenty of opportunities to scratch build and kitbash, as well as do a complete diorama on an 8X10 picture frame.

              Many makers, as it is HO scale in many countries Richard, and was a popular war gaming scale.

                Well Richard there is ROCO, Trident, WSW, Arsenal M, Kniga Modelle, Hauler, Preiser, ADP Artmaster, SDV, Artitec, Alsa Cast, CMK, Wespe, Z+Z and others that don't come to mind presently. If you are already using a magnifier it's just a matter of getting used to something about 10 percent smaller than 1-76 scale. Piece 'o cake. :nerd:

                                HeliOps to Ukraine

                                The SK's are being replaced by AW139's. No flying from the site right now as the runway is under some sort of repair. As I'm driving past I can't get to close a look!!!
                                I’m confused now!!! As I type, a HeliOps Sea King has flown over my place, (twice) . Coasting out at Portland Bill then flying down the East side of the Island to return to the field!!!!!
