Airfield modelling (Airfix / Hornby / Lego etc)

How does this control tower appeal to you then Richard?

The airfix one is on Ebay as well now cgi.ebay.com/AIRFIX-RAF-Airfield-Control...?hash=item4838cd72ab

Thats tempting Chris!!!! I have the airfix one, but it isn't yet built!!!

Where I used to work we had an airfield control tower on top of our files in the middle of the desks complete with runways & an assortment of aircraft some of them hung from the ceiling I still have the Swordfish I built for that mad endeavour & the management never complained either.

Another of my hobbies is model making so now I have had to make a 'marker' to draw-up CAD plans of a typical Watch Office and scratch build one to scale.

But don't watch this space too closely, I will ring you, don't ring me!

I still have several old Airfix kits to make up Peter.

Hangar anyone?

My primary hobby (taken over by AiX!) is scratch building flying scale models; no rush jobs, my current project has been going 7 years now! I have tried printing onto acetate with an inkjet printer but for anything detailed such as (say) an aircraft instrument of 9mm diameter it is useless; just produces an inky mess, may be OK for linear items such as window frames.But a laser printer can cope easily with fine detail and I use it to produce scale instrument panels.

Great, the aircraft lands and goes straight into the hangar... literally!

Ahh, or is it the other way around, working on the principle of a QRA shed!

Only if there is a steam catapult hidden in the hangar!
