    Chris' 1/144 Trumpeter Chengdupalooza WIP

    Okay, more Chinese MiG-alikes, as an adjunct to the GB, rather than specifically part of it, before the next planned actual additions (off a long possible list!) These are pretty much OOB, with the usual lumps and bumps and vents and such additions, built as much as possible before painting So...

    Toyota prius

    Hmm, there's always this guy, though he'd be a student buyer! I don't think there's a guy in a suit in the various figures in this scale, to act as a salesman tho'!

    Weren't these 'offiially' the Luxembourg Air Force at one stage! Just so the principality had an active airborne NATO component? And the Luxembourg AF has the oddest roundels too, what with the stripes and the Lion rampant

    Here's hoping those big wings and long fuselage bits aren't too warped, if at all. Not that you can't handle that!

    Latest Acquisitions (2026)

    Well, finally! Now I can get rid of the (shudder) Pegasus Albacore that's been stewing in my stash for five years, which, looking at the interior detail and the strut shape in this kit, would have been an even worser nightmare to try and build. I only wanted it to do one captured and flown by...

    Toyota Pro box

    As far as I know, there are only like three kits of actual Japanese Taxis, covering 'sixties, 'eighties and 'nineties. I believe. I could be wrong

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    Yeah. It happens Just after I'd carved and painted the new aerial, it vanished off my work surface. On the floor I found another piece of strip to replace it, which would also need carving to shape and shortening. No idea, though, just where that had come from Then I spotted the original...

    Tamiya 1/35 Comet cruiser tank

    Sweet! So, I stop doing 1/35, and what does Tamiya do? British and French tanks... And then others start doing British softskins. If Tamiya ever do a Lanchester armoured car, I may have to seriously think about my life choices...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    Dammit, there's always something. Because they're not in the kit, I completely forgot the U/C actuators So, bit of rod through tube and... Right This time this is definitively finished! Maybe, just maybe, one of these MiGs will be fully complete before I post therm here. Oh, I've come all...

    Cheers! The Ye-2 (which I've just done some more work on. Again), the Ye-4, the Olympic J-7EB, and this makes four so far Only thirty-two to go! I've an F7 built, OOB, which I haven't put in the GB, which is waiting on some Iraqi markings. It may be joined by another F-7, Iranian, as a sort...

    Chris' F-Toys 1/144 MiG-21F Conversion (Neil's Blooming MiGs Everywhere GB)

    The MiG-21F was the first in service version of the MiG-21, following on closely from the final Ye-6 prototypes. Roughly thirty were built before it was superseded by the F-13 variant This is the blind-box F-Toys kit, which are snap-together models, all very accurate and wide-ranging. Although...

    Pete's Vulcan

    Oh, this out to be good I always remember my first sight of a Vulcan in flight. Travelling by train with my mother and grandparents to relatives in Darlington, some time around 1974-5, and looking out the window and seeing this gert huge triangular slab drifting along, apparently sideways...
