Hi all, I never seem to be able to finish any project, so here's a thread to demonstrate what I'm busy-not-finishing at the moment  Starting (paradoxically) with something which has. Been finished, that is. Years ago - one of the old, old models I'm rescuing from the box at my parents' house. |

Tsk. poor pic, that. It's the end of July, too hot to retake it - so here's a different one. |

That model must be at least 16 years old.... one of the few survivors. Here's a model I've had for over 10 years, and which I've finaly decided to complete. No prizes for guessing....

WEBSITE OF THE WEEK: Well, a nice new find for me. I just love 1920s and 1930s aircraft designs, and these little tubs are grand: http://www.polikarpov.co.nz/index.html Kudos to NZ (  hi Marckonz!) for keeping them flying.

This little fellow is a much more recent design, and is my personal absolute favourite individual aeroplane . 9H-ADU here is the Tecnam P-92J on which I flew 10 remote sensing flights. I was the camera pilot and also redesigned the camera mount we had to fit two cameras. If you ever get a chance to fly in a small aeroplane - or a helo - take it! Being an airline passenger is miles away. Must go now before the nostalgia overcomes me... sigh |

I was leaning towards the Gneisenau but I must admit that I have very little to base that on. I had a Scharnhorst model myself and I don't seem to remember some of the bits around the chimney... although that could just have been a temporary fit. |
