Is that the correct camouflage for an Ork aircraft?

I thought it looked really good, it got my vote.

The Seaplanes and tender are undercoated.

I got this the other day - a harbour set, from Tamiya?

A bit thin on detail, but I think I will make a dockside, with this and some of the airfield left over buildings.

Looks very orange.

Construction almost complete.
Painting now.

Thanks for posting the photos, another great meeting, lots of banter and lovely models.

The imagination runs riot - again.

Remind me what that is?

Yes, a nice addition to the helicopter collection.

Now. it is onto the IJN Seaplane Tender AKITSUSHIMA from SkyWave/Pit Road.
2 flying boats are included a Type 2 and a type 97.
They have been assembled - approx. 10 and 12 each parts, give or take.
The hull has been attached to a base for ease of handling

Will he be attending on Wednesday night?

Pit Road/ Skywave
Some scratch building (T2 Hangar and scenics)

On nice days, the Lancaster, the Mk 1 Hurricane and the Mk 1a Spitfire are wheeled out of the hangar for the public to view.
Some discussion is underway as to whether the Lancaster will actually go in the hangar.

Mr Robinson discusses the Mk 1a Spitfire and wonders about the camouflage scheme.

Meanwhile the historic vehicles are on display on the entrance road and in front of the control tower.

Looking good.
