Wingco57 Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 I hope it's winging it's way towards me at least. Cees

Wingco57 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Posted October 30, 2016 About time for a good quality 1/32 kit, not meaning the old ID Models vacuum formed attempt. Cees 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 31, 2016 Administrators Posted October 31, 2016 I really hope a company like HPH or HK would do this subject one day. But I would really kill for a Blenheim...
Wingco57 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks to Tony Cotton for taking these recent pics at the MBCC Cosford. That nose section looks magnificent.
Wingco57 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 And the last one. Unbelievable that nose section was build by one craftsman in 12 months.
