I (edit - was going to) respectfully disagree with them. (and then I saw the tailwheel!) :yep:

I'd just put it down to the SIG merging all the aforementioned aircraft together like their AWACS/VC10 mash-up.

Where are the naked northern sexy women?

What a lot of Phantoms there... I remember more than 35 years ago at my aunts house.

She was living next to an airbase called Eggebek http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...150px-MFG2.jpg

These guys just had taken off, just a couple of meters high, you still could see the pilots. There were Starfighters, too.

Good luck those jets were not that noisy :doh: ! Edit: especially with the afterburners :doh:

Looking at the picture Steve post I reckon you could still argue it isn't a Bristol 148 at all :doh:

The shape of the tail certainly matches that of the Bristol, so I think you're right. And the guy who built it should know.

I wouldn't like to make a call either way on what it is Steve but as you rightfully said "the guy who built it should know"....so I'm calling it a draw, two people are correct because for the life of me you both know better than me :DL

Nice shots and models mate. I take it you didn't enter anything?

Nope....has been a few years since I completed anything, I'm solely a diecast collector nowadays.

I love a good diorama. The best I ever saw in person was when the IPMS national US show was held here in Salt Lake City. The centerpiece was this model which now resides in the Smithsonian Institution's Air-And Space Museum. It represents the 1924 around-the-world flight by the US Army Air Service, with four Douglas World Cruisers.

The diorama represents the planes making a fuel stop at Seward, Alaska in April 1924. The people were all converted from flight figures, and include a soldier strolling with his girl and the crew of a fishing boat who came out to see the planes.

The second picture is a close-up of the boat and crew. What you can't see is the detail, most wonderful of which is the cards laid out on the boat's galley table, left there when the players heard the planes landing.

I just wish there were pictures I could show of all those details.
