Ray'S Atlas

From 1 April 1918, to present, celebrating anything RAF -- land, sea, air, person -- any kit, any scale, not whiffs. This GB incorporates the 617 Sqn/Opn Chastise 75th GB. Originally a 3 month GB, it is now super-extended through the rest of 2018. Part started kits will also be allowed to join.
Your host is Stuart, ably assisted by ShaunW, dwomby, lancfan, and jRatz.

Marvellous, that is a tremendous finish, Ray and I also love the lighting effects. All in all a very impressive looking model and it's great to see this example of the modern RAF's transport fleet in the GB as a counterpoint to the combat aircraft.

That sure is a monster! Excellent build throughout, and the lighting sets it off nicely; cracking job!

It looks really great, Ray and indeed so does that RAF 100 display - it's very well set out and includes a great collection of RAF types on the tables including what I am guessing is your Sentry displayed next to the Atlas. Superb stuff.

Thanks everyone.

Yes, that is my Sentry and Hercules in the picture, also the Gnat in front of the Hercules and the Buccaneer in front of the Canberra (both on stands).

There was a lot more to it with a pre-WWII section and the WWII 'bomber base'. I will get my images sorted and create a new thread for it I think.
