The Unofficial Airfix Modellers' Forum

Well Huddersfield has been confirmed!
As you can see in this thread: http://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=8029&start=45; my Vulcan is coming along quite well and if I have my way it will be ready for the first shows of 2015 with 2 possibly 3 other big models.
The themes for the show are Big Sticks - Heavy Aircraft and Mud Moving - Soviet and NATO Armour.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Heres the address for everyone who needs it:
Huddersfield Sports Centre
Southgate
Huddersfield
HD1 1TW

I will be there with this.......

That is a fabulous looking beast Chris and I look forward to seeing it in the flesh. Are you using a Transit van to get it there or do the wings come off to make transportation easier?

The wings are not glued in place to make it a lot easier to transport.

Beautiful Chris - looking forward to seeing that. While on the subject of big sticks perhaps you can help me - does a B-1B Lancer count as a Cold War subject or it is a bit late for that?

Cheers
Al.

Nice one Chris Im looking forward to seeing that beast!
Beany to me the B-1B Lancer counts and is more than a welcome guest on the display stand .

B-1B is indeed a Cold War big stick, providing the markings are pre 1992.

Damn, kit decals are for 1993 and 1998 schemes. I may have to source some after market decals from the look of it.

I might have something in my decal bank that will suit Al, providing you're working in 1/72, let me check when I get home and I'll pm you.

Thanks for the offer Tom, but hey, it's me you're talking to mate - why would I bother with that fiddly little 1/72 scale when you can go large with the 1/48th version!

Cheers
Al.

Looks like we have plenty to look at on our table for Huddersfield .
Thank you to everyone who is helping out on the display!
If it gets to the point were we dont have enough space on the table Il display mine for a few hours then pack them away and display others .

I can almost hear the table groaning under the strain

I had my suspicions it might be the 1/48th monster but no worries mate, that thing'll be beyond huge

ShawnW - haha yes me too, lets hope the table doesnt break under the weight .
