Another "Shelf of Doom" the VH-CAO "OOPS" moment

[VH-WAL]

4 years on the shelf of doom, I used more sheets of decal paper in a trial and error process of getting the shapes right... I never succeeded, I pulled this off the shelf of doom a few days ago, burned another 3 sheets of decal paper then said enough is enough, this is good as it is going to be.. at least it is finished.

Pictured in model form is the Department of Civil Aviation HS125 flown by 2 examiners of airmen about to land wheels up at Avalon on 24JAN1967

Very impressive, and a great tribute to not doing the checks properly and fully, well remember that was in one of my very first crash comics

I agree, very impressive. VH-CAO has sentimental value for me as it's the first aircraft I flew in, on a Departmental navex from Melbourne to Sydney and back in an afternoon - before the memorable crash. Serious fun. Can I please beg, borrow or pay for those decals so I can make my own model of this one.

Thanks for the decals WAL. Here's where I'm up to so far. I got so inspired by the decal sheet that I started now rather than waiting til after Expo for the group build. Maybe I'll shrink these decals to 1/144 (if you don't mind) and make the Welsh Models 1/144 kit in the same colours for the group build.

... and make the Welsh Models 1/144 kit in the same colours for the group build.

Isn't the Group Build 1:72 only?

"Heads up" everyone IT'S THE 1:72 HS-125!!! .
Decided by two "postal" votes

My bad. I got excited by Wal's decals. I'll put this on the beck burner until after Expo. It's not as though I don't have a thousand other kits I can made instead.
