Another George???

Due to some issues I am having posting here, I'm just going to add the link for you to look at on AMI.

A huge thanks again to TOR for the Matchbox stand. :D

Very cool Andrew!

Did you convert your recently built Lanc to wheels up?

What issues are you having posting - uploading pic's from Photobucket?

Cheers

You are becoming the "George" expert Andrew.....she is bloody beautiful!!!
Glad the stand went to a good home.

PS:@ Ray.S.....that's the largest Matchbox stand Andrew/I could find. I don't think Matchbox made a larger stand.

I always thought the larger Matchbox kits came with 2 stands - 1 large, and 1 small..
Pretending to do it TAC style with the big boys since 1987
Also, we don't need no steenkin' VLATs!

These are the only two sizes of Matchbox stand that I am aware of and Andrew's "George" is sitting on the larger one

Yeah, that's what I mean...I thought the bigger kits came with one of each, the idea being the smaller one supported the tail.

Hi Adam and cheers. No, this is a Matchbox kit whereas the Lanc at Expo was the new Airfix kit. Without sounding rude, if you read the AMI post this was basically a trial run for a later build 1/48 'George' I intend to do. In regards to Photobucket everything works as it should until I hit 'Submit' on ACAM then my computer goes nuts and as you saw posted eighteen posts of my Luftwaffe rocket builds. Even when I went into each and hit delete the site crashed on me.

In relation to the stands guys I reckon there was a bigger stand for 1/48 which would've been about 12-15cm high. Anyway, I can't be picky, I'm just glad someone (TOR) was able to help me out with a stand. I have just received two small Airfix stands which I will be using for a couple of small 1/72 Airfix commission builds.

Andrew, if ya need any more Airfix stands just yell out.
As to the photobucket issue.....give it another try and see what happens. When I posted the photos of the Matchbox stands on this thread I had no problems at all.
TOR
PS: if there is a larger version of the Matchbox stand, I would love to get my hands on one or two of em, cause I think the Matchbox stands were the most well-engineered of all kit-supplied stands.
