Rolf,

They are all on the list, up to you to say what you are bringing.....

Colin

[sloegin57]

Colin,

my list appears to be firming up:-

1-72nd:-
P2V-6 Aeronavale
P2V-7 Aeronavale (Julie/Jezebel trials aircraft)
PO-1W (WV-1) US Navy
Valiant B1 either 199 or 18 Squadron

1-48th:-
Canberra PR9 - XH167 - first camo aircraft
Canberra PR9 - 13 Squadron - silver
Canberra B2 - either 199 or 18 Squadron (the Units sole ELINT Canberra)

Apart from the B2 and the P2V-7, all are currently in work or being chopped about a bit to make other bits.

Dennis

PS
I wonder who is going to be the first to fork out £188 ( !!**?? ) for the A-Model IL-18, then convert it to a Soviet "Coot"?

[COLIN SHIPTON-KNIGHT]

Dennis,

Looking like it could be a good year for Canberra's.... Definitely looking forward to seeing this line up.........

Let alone all the other tasty stuff....

£188, I'm working on it.... Cub first, Coot second.....

Colin

[MikeC]

My new recce builds since last time:

Spitfire FR18, 208 Sqn RAF
Fiat G.91R/3, Luftwaffe, 1960s

Maybe more, maybe not, depends how the modelling muse takes me.

[COLIN SHIPTON-KNIGHT]

Mike,

Scale?

Adding to list any way..

Colin

Need you ask Colin? 1:48 - I haven't got the space for bigger or the eyesight for smaller.

[johnsheehan]

My list so far, for definite is:-
Canberra B.(I)12 SAAF
Canberra B.(PR)2 Air Force of Zimbabwe
Canberra PR.9 2nd. Prototype XH130
All Airfix all 1/48 scale
I could also add the PR.7, with Colin's PR.3 that would be the full British Canberra PR. family, optical that is.

[COLIN SHIPTON-KNIGHT]

Mike,

Know what you mean about scale, and reason for it....

John,

Models duly added to list. Can we keep the PR3 and PR7 as possibles..? After all 1/48 Canberra's do take up a fair bit of room, and they have both been displayed before..?

Let us see how things develop, as I know not all of mine will be ready, despite my hopes and enthusiasm... Let us see how much room we have nearer the time..?

Colin

[kitspackman]

Colin,

I have....

An RF-82 Photo-Twin Mustang (the only one there was)

A RNoAF RF-5A (pretty basic model)

A USAAC F-5A Photo Lightning (PR blue and D Day stripes)

I may have a few others stashed away too, but i only have 1Mb memory.

'Maybes' by Telford include an RB-47H and an RAF Neptune MR1. All the above in 1/72

[COLIN SHIPTON-KNIGHT]

Kit,

Duly noted, and added to the list....

Don't worry too much, we have months to go and no doubt, nearer the time, some will not be ready, or regarded as not quite up to scratch, and removed from the display.

But I feel it's always nice to have a list to try and work towards, even if that does give you a bit of self imposed pressure to finish models....

It certainly does for me.... and I have never yet quite managed to finish all that I hoped to do...

Colin

[sloegin57]

Kit,

are you doing your Neptune with turrets all round or with the later glazed nose and MAD stinger. If the latter, then I could drop my P2V-6 (Aeronavale) as both would be virtually identical apart from the markings and as Colin has intimated - space could be at a premium.

Regards, Dennis
