Ayup.

Thanks Fea

My brother knew Eyton-Jones from his 892 sqn days when the latter was flying the Phantoms.  

Last year we paid respects at the then recently opened Memorial in the National Forest Staffordshire



The build will have to be OOB with an Aeroclub replacement seat as i want to finish before the deadline for a change, but hopefully will still be a fitting tribute to RN pilots who have lost their lives.

why has the harrier pic been changed to a link please?

EDIT - All sorted!  :idea:  
Sgt.S

Because it looked like a copywrite image and it wasn't clear whether permission had been given  :wink:

if i only had a brain

just put the satsh back wiyh the Falklands set at the back
forgot to get the harrier out  :hithead:  

may have got it out already with a bit of luck but can't remember-probably cos i bang my head a gainst brick too much.

will try and get some Heritage Aviation intakes for this one to save a bit of build time.

I have a pair going spare.

sorry there has been no input
doubt if i will get to start this build before the deadline the way things have panned out

firstly thanks to Thomas for the intakes- i will use them on an Airfix Harrier i think as the Esci ones are attatched to the inside of the intake.

this would need to be cut off and stuck onto the resin and seems like unecessary work.  the Airfix kits will be a straight swap for the parts.

thought i might be an idea to post some sprue shots of the Airfix boxing of the Esci kit in the Falklands set

will be using sky models decals





will be using the Aeroclub Mk10 ejection seat, which is more suitable than the kit part which more closely resembles the Stencel seat for the AV-8.  Apparently the bulkhead behind the seat requires chopping out and moving back 3mm- oh joy
