Aviation antics at RAF Coningsby

A jolly jaunt across to Lincolnshire for a week, with RAF Coningsby being a firm target on the list they sure didn't fail to impress! Here's a few snaps from an incredible few days:

-Performance takeoff from a Typhoon- wow the noise!

 -On the approach, some 5 metres above our heads!

 -After too many years, my first picture of the BBMF's Avro Lancaster circling over RAF Coningsby

-A moody shot from Newark Air Museum

 -First attempt at night-time photography

 -Lincoln cathedral

Ah, now back to some modelling!

A Great Endeavour!

I did this build a while ago but I thought it might be worth uploading some photos of it (surgical tape used for the thermal blankets and I scribed the RCC tiles on the leading edge/underside of the wings using a knife.

A Can-ny update!

More work on the Canberra Pr.9, the nav's cockpit is looking better and i've touched up the pilot's cockpit with a semi-matte varnish to tone the colours down a bit.
I've also made a start on the bomb/flare-bay and the lenses and aperture of the main recce camera (mounted at the rear of the fuselage).

1:72 Italeri B-52G next to a Shackleton AEW2- how on earth will this fit on a shelf...........

EE Canbera PR.9 1:48

 A few work-in-progress pics of the Navigator's position and the cockpit, mostly scratch built.

A new beginning
