Thanks for the compliments chaps:  :cheers:

One of my latest. Built for the Cromwell GB.
Next, when I have the bits together and the time, it'll go into a wee 'Normandy' diorama/scene

Fabulous looking Cromwell, Fred and a terrific portfolio!  I love your dioramas.  The abandoned Iraqi Mig 21 is a cracker.  So many great models! :notworthy:

Oh! and your NMF Me109! :blob:

Your Cromwell is excellent and, as Alex says, the commander looks really at home.

The PM F100C Super Sabre. A basic kit, but nice. The raised panel lines were virtualy non-existant, I think from long term use of the mould. I used my scriber to mark out the flaps and ailerons. I added a few extra decals to the kit ones which were really excellent. Well printed and they went on easily, especially the wrap around one for the nose intake. Some other [more expensive] makers could take a lesson on that.

Another silver birdie - a Matchbox F104C Starfighter.
It needed as much filling and reshaping as the cheap PM Super Sabre.

A good looking Val and that really is a very deep deep blue on the Corsair - looks great.

Good to see the PM F-100 - looks like something decent can be made from it.

Great additions, Fred. :thumb:
The metallic finish around the afterburners on your shiny birds, looks fantastic. :shock:
