i just took a couple of pics of a few models i brought over from my mums a couple of months ago, there were a lot more(of course!) but these seemed the most savable just a light dust off in most cases, although the 0/400 is still covered in dust. i have all the miising parts for the chipmunk and another unbuilt one in my stash with a different set of decals


nearly forgot this one-

Nice and lovely kits Phil.
The Ban Air London is a Comet 4 ? I like it very much.

i'm spoilt for choice!
the dan air is a comet 4, this is an airfix kit (they all are except the zero, which is academy) and is kind of my favourite of the bunch

Yeah,,,nice weathering Phil :-)
Now I want to build that Red Arrows Gnat even more after seeing yours.
The DH88 Comet is part of the Shuttleworth Collection and is still airworthy.
