Improvements, very nice.

Can we order the oo gauge versions yet?

Yes it will.

Hi Andypops, I've not heard of CMSC before, who / what are they?

The HGV test I took in the RAF in the early 90's was around the Cardiff area, with a DVLA examiner. I passed first go, but others didn't, some didn't pass at all. As well as the driving test, there was a written exam and a practical test of roping and sheeting loads. All so I could drive the hard top Mountain Rescue 4 tonner!

I've never had a problem with the tracks being too short, built about 30 of them over the years. Trouble is there's so much else wrong for a modern Scimitar. From memory the airfix kit represents the prototype but not production models, or indeed the revised stowage arrangements etc on current vehicles. Nice kit though.

Are wee friends (friendship models) still making the Scorpion family of models? I can't find them on their website. There are a few for sale on eBay from someones model stash.

The company I work for, has been charged such a massive levy by the government for the apprentice scheme, that we are actively seeking to get out of it as fast as we can.

^^^^^ Niiiiice.

Hi Shaun, great to see you on here, and thanks for the discount code. S and S model's vehicles are ideal for loads for Warwells and Warflats. They make the full range of the Scorpion family of vehicles, and the BV206 all of which are in gauge. Assembly is straightforward, some fettling and filing might be required, and you'll need to paint and apply decals. No connection other than having bought some previously.

Excellent choice. I shall be adding some to my ever lengthening pre-order list.

Woof woof woof! Should I have had an email yet Gareth?

Both out of stock now

Great stock Ian, runs really well.

Daggnabbit! Wasn't quick enough to get my order in, and the warflat bogies no longer listed. Thanks John for taking this task on though.

OMG, this lot will keep you in Guinness for years! We are lucky. Great News.

Good for you Jim, well done! Like you my weight had crept up over the years without really realising from 11.5 stone 16 years ago when I left the RAF to 15.5 stone. Found myself visiting the GP for various things more recently. Started a low carb diet at the beginning of the first lock down, lost 3 stone. Plenty to eat of the right things never felt hungry. All the things that the GP was treating me for have cleared up now. Acid reflux gone, piles gone, loose stools normal now, knees dont hurt.... Keep going mate, keep sharing your success with us.

Think you missed out Q and +

Minor thread drift sorry. On our Tornado F3 fighter maintenance course we learnt about the hullyouwhiskyou, or HLWSCU, the High Lift and Wing Sweep Control Unit. An elecro-hydraulic box of tricks that sorted out the right amount of trailing edge flap movement in relation to how much the wings were swept. An SLA. Also a PITA to replace when faulty. Spent all night repacing one in a freezing hanger down the Falklands, for the replacement to also be faulty, and spent the next night replacing that one. Shouldn't join up if you can't take a joke!

My pre-order for the ROG Class 47's cancelled

Brilliant news. Well done. Order placed, thank you

Thanks for the messages and update John. I'll keep an eye on this thread.

The Bachmann 2F's have a close coupling mechanism too?

Neat work Matt. What are you using for bogies?

Very cool consist with three escort coaches Simon thanks for the picture. Do you know whether it's an operational reason or simply for stock movement purposes?
