Airfix 1/48 Frontline Fighters gift set...

[LyleW]

Just lovely, if one can say that about a fighter! Way to go.

[Stuart]

Thanks Lyle!

Looks pretty good Stuart. What squadron markings are those?

Thanks Carlos.

Those are 617 'Dambusters' sqn. They were one of two squadrons equipped with the GR.1B on Anti-shipping duties following the Bucaneer's retirement.

[Stikpusher]

Very cool! A most famous squadron. Do you have some Sea Eagle missiles for the anti shipping role load out?

[Stuart]

I do indeed - the build comes from a specific GR.1B boxing - and has them included. They've basically pulled the Sea Eagle sprue out of the Buccaneer boxing and added it to the GR.1A box with a new lid the spure even has the Buccaneer bomb bay cover!

[Medicman71]

Very nice Stuart! Didn't that squadron change over to the F-35 now?

[Stuart]

Thanks Medic - Yes they did, I don't know if they're operational now but they will be the first RAF F-35 sqn.

[Medicman71]

Well then I believe that they are embarked on the HMS Queen Elizabeth right now.

[Stuart]

Work is progressing on the B - I've got the gear and a few more bits on. Got to start work on the pods, tanks and Sea Eagles next.



Cheers!
