Forum Scale Modelling Forum

I've had this kit for a long while. It's a kit that has been built on this forum many times, most notably recently by Tony @yakface so I haven't gone too much into the construction of it. Doing a little bit of reading about 85 Squadron in France, I discovered that the 85 Squadron hexagon actually had a purpose beyond being a squadron emblem.

Someone asked me at a local model show if I could 3D print 1/72 scale figures for a jeep. I said I could if I had the files. So does anyone know where I could get either the 3D print files, or the figures themselves? Lee

This is going to be my build for this GB. Ron used to like building boats/ ships on seascapes. So this is what I’m going to do with this one. And I’ve got a little bit of PE to go with it.

Having medication for BP which was causing dizzyness I went to the GPs. After blood tests and an ECG, had a phone call tonight saying he was making me an appointment with a heart specialist. Oh well at least somebody has taken notice. John
