D6150

Thanks for this. It's possible this project may fall into the old Top Gear category of "ambitious but...rubbish", but hopefully not. 

Well it's supposed to be a real prototype, but whether it turns out like it or not.... European, and in service from the late 1950's to the early 1990's, with a few lingering longer. 

Thanks

Thanks for all the feedback folks. Glad I'm not the only one who's struggled with the way Revell put their kits together! Not sure why they have taken this approach. 

Yes the F104 was pretty notorious for a while, especially in West German service. Very much the wrong aircraft for low level missions. From what I can make out, the Italians latterly only used them in the high altitude role they were originally designed for. Horses for courses....

Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the interesting suggestions. I'm not going to reveal the correct answer just yet, in case there are any other guesses. 

Thanks

Thanks for the feedback. If I ever get the time (unlikely..) I wouldn't mind collecting some of the many space toys that came out in the 1960's and 70's. 

There's a bit of skepticism about the Apollo programme nowadays, but I personally think it was a remarkable achievement (although I would say that being a fan). I also find it quite weird that here in the 21st century we no longer have the ability to go to the moon...

Thanks for this. I put one of the buggies together last night. Pretty easy to do, but it lacks quite a few details (seat backs, mudguards). I will try and add some of the missing bits and get it painted up. 

That's a handy photo. Realised I'd missed a couple of details off the roof of my 37...... 

Thanks for this, I will have a look on the web to see what I can find.

Incidentally I'm still trying to work out when and why the BP logos were removed from the TTA's used on the Lairg and Fort William trains. Does anyone know?

That's the one! Thanks for your help. 

Hello, and thanks for the feedback. This is probably going to be quite a slow project to follow, as have other commitments to juggle! It may also evolve a bit as I go along. The next bit of the jigsaw should hopefully be an Australian National AHDL hopper wagon (converted from box cars in AN's workshops). After this, possibly a signal box, if I can pick a good prototype to copy.

Thanks
