I remember reading about it a while ago. There was, an American built, reproduction ME262 jet flying at the RIAT air show this year, first time in Europe, apparently one of several built, the Americans are really into military aircraft. How can I move this to a more correct thread? Edited September 13, 2023 by fulton correction 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugd1022 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Forgive the 'work in progress' nature of this one but this is as far as I ever got with the JLTRT 0 Gauge 50 kit I had several years ago, before selling it on. Lacking any real workbench space at the time, I concentrated on the cab interiors and decided to weather them in the state I remember them in working on them at Old Oak, despite most of it not being visible... 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The not entirely real train Simon When we used to go to various hill slopes, to fly r/c model gliders, People out for the fresh air and exercise, quite often stopped for a while and watched the flying. One of the comments, amongst many others, about weather, radio control and such like, was - "That's / they're just like the real aeroplanes." To which the most used response was, "It is a real aeroplane, just a smaller version of the full size ones."

In truth, it is a relatively small and quirky Gauge One layout built in a pretty steeply sloped garden with limited width. Although it was designed with "photographic angles" in mind, the fact that it is only half (or less) finished and that more planting is required to mask things like a fence, the shed and houses etc, there are currently limited opportunities for proper "realism". One benefit of the steeply sloped garden is that quite a lot of it can be viewed and photographed from below, and shooting into the sky struck me as another way of avoiding visual distractions. Distinctly unrealistic at 1/32 scale, but giving me great pleasure, is this chap who lives in the dock which runs across the base of whole scheme. He sat calmly in this position for a good quarter of an hour or so while we moved around and took photographs etc, before moving to the bottom of the dock. I presume he "lives" under the overhanging plants that have started growing into the water. It all lives in my imagination and keeps me more out of mischief than I would otherwise be.... 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
