Either display kits for the stand or for competition.

Not much I am afraid, lost the plot on the display side.

I will have my QANTAS Cat for the tables, not much else at this stage.

In my case yes indeed! I'd have to send the family away on holidays without me in order to have any chance of finishing a model! Can't even take any time off work of late either. I may get a little Tamiya He-162 finished. Took your advice to build something simple, but I can't build "simple" can I! It's a flaw in my character - I just have to make the build more complicated now don't I! In fact I've had some fun adding some basic scratch build detail to the little Spatz. I have yet to plum up the engine as well, which will be separate and on a trolley. See how I go.

Well, I checked the stash and could possibly knock up a NASA subject for the ACAM display. it will not be a work of art but it will take up a little space. See my signature block for a hint.

The Issue will be transporting said model to Melbourne in one piece. I also have a couple of Cessna O-2s in the stash for the civil aircraft display as well, see how I go with one of those.

I can't, I just can't! To me it's a abomination to use a decal to replicate a seat harness - ABOMINATION I SAY! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
