Hi Phil,Happy B Day.
How many are going Colt next week?what are you bringing.
Hera are a few more pics of Bernd's Air World,s FW190, sadly it was lost at the weekend
he had just finished with all the scale parts on her, and was flying in nice and slow,to slowly for the camera when it dropped a wing
He is already building another FW190.
All Bernd's Scale parts and new 1/5 P47 should be available through Tigermodels.
Cheers Graham

Dear Rob
A very impressive line-up of Classic Warbirds you have there.
Keep up the good work.
I noticed that you have nicked my colour scheme on the P47

Dear Nigel
My Sons and my Grandson came round last night it was difficult to get a go on the computer.
They all wanted to play it. I think I might need more ram I only have 256Mb, it stutters slightly.
So hopefully I can get a go tonight.

Dear Rifraf
Thanks for your kind words regarding this thread, your warbirds look very nice to me and you are
quite right to be proud of them.
I take it they are all Arf's most people these days just do not have the time to build complicated
scale models. The Arf's have improved greatly over the last two or three years.
I have flown several different warbird arf's for club members and they all flew faultlessly.
I would rather see one warbird be it arf, kit or plan etc than twenty sports models.
Keep your pics coming please.
Regards Phil G.

RE: For those who love World War Two Fighters
Here's a shot of my Tempest Mk V landing at Chatham during the Canadian Nat's this year. I got third in sport scale, and had a blast glide-bombing for my scale maneuver. Unfortuantely, one of the bombs is now in a combine somewhere.....
VERY windy day! But, wind was right down the runway.
Thanks to Palmer Johnson for the great photo!

Dear Graham
No details are needed this time as you will be signed on by someone in the RAF.
Formal ID is a must Driving License/Passport.
The Weather forecast I don't even bother looking at it yet.
I will post the forecast from Coltishall met here on friday afternoon.
And say wheather(excuse the pun) it is on or postponed to the 30th of Oct.

RE: For those who love World War Two Fighters
Hi guys, some great looking warbirds in this thread. I am new to giant scale and have just begun a Jerry Bates plans F8f Bearcat (1/5 scale 80") Is anyone familiar with these plans or this plane. I'm still trying to decide on the engine and where to look for retracts.
