Would be better - 9 inches or so long . Here's one to hunt for - 1961 1/24 Frog kit 🤣 Kit Form Services in the UK make one as well . Price though at £270 , they were shutting down but in the end sold the business on last year i believe. https://kitformservices.com/products/bac-bloodhound-mk2-1-24th-scale-tq229

There is a lot on info regarding this online , Bovington painted theirs wrong in the 1960s and every other musuem/ tamiya copied assuming they knew the right colours. Short answer TLDR is the tanks were sent to the Middle East from the UK on ships painted in the standard Khaki, and repainted at the dockside before issue in Stone ( more beige than "sand") and Naval Grey ( both in stores for the Army and Navy ) with some of the Khaki left showing ...and then went off to give Rommel a good pasting

Whistlers .... I think AFV Club did one ? I bought one a while ago but it go lost in the post so I never got to build it . I have a love of six wheeled vehicles ..or as my mate with a Stalwart once said .. The Joy of Six ...

Wowsers thats a real blast from the past . Nice job on an old dog of a missile👍 ....see what I did there ? Sort of think you'd expect Takom may end up re releasing . The army had a very similar missile -they called it Thunderbird , here's one on display near where I used to live - without the boosters , looks like an overgrown Firestreak . The Virago is 1:1 for scale .

Magical work, and glad you had a chance to pilot the real one . Nice one Mike !

One hopes it wont be Large Scale Models ......ladies a bit more petite perhaps ...

Sod the models where's the hot tub for the pool party ?

Just dammit .....another really nice fella gone ...very sad news.

I think given Airfix's recent crowdpleasing releases of UK cold war stuff: Bucc ...Seaking .....Gannet............and Kitty Hawk's demise taking out any competition ....if they have not spotted a huge market gap to fill with a nice 1/48 Jag ...well they'd be daft. Plenty of aircraft at Cosford to go scan as well . The downside is it will be Airfix ...but still gotta be better than the 1994 tooling .

Not a big cat but a scabby dog .....fill ...sand ....fill ...sand ....reveal coat of primer ..more fill ...thin wing edges which are scale 3 inches thick

Moulded in Silver ! Awesome . Bit of inspo from one of my fave but defunct youtubers

Did the 25B version a little while back . Despite the talk about the props/ cowlings etc on the AM tooling , can't say I found it an issue / obvious . Did spend way too much time mucking around with the interior which is pointless 2 minutes after you glue the fuse together . Also it took about 4lbs of nose weight ...in the nose..... the bomb bay ...everywhere just to stop it sitting on the tail . Had ot go back towards the end just to open up areas to put more weight ... Nice model though. 😀

Yay !!

Speedy build .....thats relative...progress though ... Despite baths in hot water , the fuse warp is sad n bad . These moulds are done ! This is with the nose joined and the rest is doing it's own thing . CA'd together , now using black CA to reinforce / fill . My advice buy an earlier boxing , had some warping but not this poor Ohh look..... I bought a proper scriber after umpteen years . I'm deternined ot get at least one build acorss the line . I've not forgotten the lightning but don't want to rush it as it was going nicely along . Laterz !

So well deserved - that Tonka was a real banger ! Nice one Mark 👋

Poll ...poll....poll🤪
