Here is a link to the first Aircraft Portfolio published on this site. Betheyn (Andy Brazier) has the privilege to write Aeroscale history ( ) and I thank him for sending us pictures of his original models, all built in 2006!

Yes it is a first and, as such, we need the most feedback we can about this. Any suggestions and ideas are welcome!

Hi there

Absolutely stunning! That's a superb way to showcase a great set of models!

Andy - that's a really fine and varied set of buids! There's a lot to admire and learn from in there!

Jean-Luc - I knew you had something special planned for this new format... but I'm totally blown away!

All the best

Brilliant!
I love it.A great way to showcase both models and a particular modeller.
This is going to me a great series and Im looking forward to seeing more.
I think it would be nice to see a bit more general information about the modeller featured as well. This can only get better and better.
Congratulations Andy,you deserve this mate!, and a big thumbs up to whoever devised this!

Thanks Guys and Thank you Jean-Luc.
I knew you were planning something for this series, but this is brilliant, very professional looking (and I'm not talking about my models :-) ).
Thanks Jean-Luc you have made my weekend .

Hi Andy,

A fine collection there! But as we used to say in my DC-3 days, Jets are for kids! and Real airplanes have round engines! (the caption under a caricature of a Lockheed Connie)
