Are there really trees at the top of Ben Nevis??


Found this pair in the Loch..






Then.. the wife came back from shopping so I had to land at Fort William and empty the car

Nice shots Dave.
Where did the Seaking paint come from? I don't think I've got that one.

[DaveB]

I was sat thinking last night that I didn't have a Scottish paint for the SK so I quickly knocked it up before I went to bed

Interested parties can grab a copy HERE

Cheers Dave, I'll add that to the collection tonight.

V.nice Dave, and as I'm just up the road, would be rude not have it in the hangar. Don't suppose you fancy repainting the SAR cab do you? Also, where did the minesweepers come from?

Trees? Errm ...no This was June last year

Hiya Colin

The sweeper is (possibly) an on-going project and is not available to the masses at this time.

Re the SAR cab.. point me at a picture and I'll be happy to give it a go. XV674 was used on SAR duties with 819Sqn (I think there were 3 cabs at Prestwick.. certainly 05 was there too wearing the same navy blue).. this before the later grey/dayglo scheme. In fact, 819Sqn may have been disbanded before the new scheme came in. Anywho.. point me at a pic and I'll give it a go

Is it? Thought I'd finished it. It's one I made for Dave. If he want's to share it, that's fine by me.

[DaveB]

You mentioned simplifying the model a wee bit for mass production (modelled funnel number and badge to paint layers). It was a while back. Maybe I dreamt it

Oh yes, I vaguely remember.

Colin..

There are MANY variations on a theme with the Gannet SAR Sea Kings so.. as a dip at a version that has everything (PW code and Scottish flag on the nose).. I'll go for XZ920 (07) if that's ok
