Airfield modelling (Airfix / Hornby / Lego etc)

of course Llandow, Son now suitably brain washed!

Thank goodness we didn't make heavy fighters, that would have been most confusing.

We did, we just had the good grace not to call them that though!

I have just received this in the post this morning, not a bad little model considering its Hornby!

Hi Richard.

:confused: I do not understand your comment "not a bad little model considering its Hornby". What is wrong with Hornby, they produce some very nice models. I am sure that the 'anoraks' will find fault with their models, but these buildings are meant for model railway layouts, and not as true representations of the real thing. I suggest that you put away your scale plans and tape measure.

There is nothing wrong with Hornby, I have a large amount of Hornby trains myself but when it comes to the buildings and accesories I thought that other makes were better. Don't get me wrong this is a good model, its preassambled like all the other skaledale stuff they do and reasonable value for £12 (Ebay purchase!) but I think if I was making a model airfield I would build my own tower instead!

Not a bad model but I am slightly puzzled by it. Is it meant to be derelict with bits of rendering hanging off? But then why is the window glass intact? I presume it is OO gauge?

Further to my last, perhaps it is converted into a dwelling and needs a little maintenance! That would explain it.

Dear REF, you've started something now........

It looks more convincing than the Airfix 1/72 Control Tower, which seems to be a weird amalgam of various styles and ends up looking like no building I've ever seen.....:confused:
