Status: offline 		We've had 'idenitfy the the model', try this one. Just for fun! The picture below shows a modeller holding a pattern ship he designed in 1966. Any ideas? I think you'll be surprised.

Status: offline 		Well that didn't take long! Dave is probably not known for pattern ships but this one is called the 'Kingpin.' The aircarft was superbly finished but I suppose you wouldn't expect anything else from 'Mr Scale.'I've been meaning to build one for years but never found time. He left the UK some years ago and now lives in Florida, UK's loss US's gain!
Well done, I thought that would have taken a little longer!
