6 sleeps to Duxford Flying Legends..

every year before departing to the UK I try to finish models on the bench then tidy it up before I go.

The TEAL DC-6 is almost finished, I have to do some decal touch touch ups, weathering and antenna placements... this will wait til I get back (This was a conversion requiring a section of forward fuselage to be cut out, plus astrodome and under fuselage nav gear fairing to be added)


I stuffed up the decal application on the Ansett bird, I have ordered new ones to finish when I get back (after adjusting the white to silver demarcation lines..part of the decal problem)

the DC-7C fuselage sits to one side.. lots of work to go into that bastard before it is finished!

the bench is as tidy as it ever gets... when I do have it like this and actually have some bench space I like to caress and fondle the stash, having a look at the plastic. under the bench are the next projects I will start when I get back Sunderland to Sandringham conversion and Lancaster to York conversion.
Unseen elsewhere are other in progress builds a Nitto L1011 and a Williams Bros C-46

after 3 months in UK I'll be raring to go!

What a lovely DC 6 that is

Enjoy the Flying Legends, well worth the trip

Wal you lucky bugger....enjoy the Uk...and legends in particular(i love that place AND SHOW).

btw is that a brabazon model i spy on the right hand forground?

They are some good-looking big props there Wal.
Also, good to see your A/CAM sticker prominently displayed for all to see.
We look forward to our resident A/CAM Correspondent on the ground streaming live from the UK.

Very nice Wal particularly the Ansett bird (sorry can't take to anything Kiwi after what happened to Ansett).

Nice set up too. Now that would be one hell of an excuse not to Vote today.

Question : Why were you not able to Vote and hence now be fined?

Answer : I was tidying up my Modelling Room and fondling my unmade kits!

Outstanding Wally! Have a great trip O/S! Will look forward to seeing posts of your adventures.

Cheers

Great work as usual Wally. Have fun in the UK

I agree with the others. Have a good time. By the way, love your work room.

Enjoy you time abroad Wally and keep safe. Are we trekking this time again?
We all expect a daily update of your travels mate and air show photos.
By the way, I agree with the other comments, there are some nice prop jobs shown above.

Cheers
Wayne

are we there yet?
