Just in case you haven't checked out the Falklands War/Guerra de las Malvinas 30yr Tribute GB (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?board=28.0), here's a few shots of my latest entry, the Royal Navy airship R-99 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1395.0).

very nice, Brian !! :)  I thought you may have used a V2 rocket for the body until I read the other page !

Why doesn't the Siskin have an 8-blade scimitar prop too ? :D
