Great looking build peter.A simple but very effective base to show it off as well.Im not a fan of prop blurs, but I must say yours look very good.

I concur with what's been said. Nice build of a rarely seen subject.

Beautifully done Peter. I'm glad you turned the outer engines off, that looks really good. And you have two running props for the second one

Clever idea showing the inboard props spinning as they did when taxiing to the arrivals. Remember flying in a Vanguard in 1966 from Glasgow to Heathrow on my way to Italy. Very comfortable aircraft, used to be a pleasure flying before 'cattle class' was introduced. Cheers Derek

Great work, glad to hear you're getting back in the swing (certainly looks that way!)

All the best
