All I Can Say Is NICE,And What A Craftsmen You Are Wolfie!    

That Would Make A Great Model,Wouldnt It? Wonder If Peter Miller Would Do Something Like That.Would Make A Great Plan,Or perhaps Ones Been Done Already?

Other Classics Incude-   Dont Try To Run Before You Can Walk!   Its No Good Having Champagne Tastes,On A Lemonade Pocket.

Im With You BEB On That One!   A Multi Purpose Airliner With Caracter,Thats Commercially Viable,Will Be A Real Treat For Every one Who Enjoys The Build Side Of Things.......................Cant Wait For The Vulcan Either! We Are Really Privilaged To Have designers Like TN,PM,LT,TH etc........ Really Kicks The ARTF Boys into Touch!   Regards To All

I,ll Second That Will F And Erfolg! Would Be Great If The 190 is done as a 72 incher Like Latest Spit,But I Feel It Would Most Likely Be A 46-62 inch,as Tony And David explaind That For Free Plan Purposes The 72 Was Just Not That Practical. A Good Size Though None The Less....I Would Settle With A 62,Whats 10 Between Friends? NO RUDE COMMENTS PLEASE!   Appologys for not being able to have another re count before David And Tony Computer had to be De Fraged by a Mate

Are you doing the Vulcan Plan Tone? Or is it by one of our other in house designers, will have another count,but cant make any promisis on acuracy,that is best left to the true proffesionals like yourself,and our other talented designers...........................oooohhhh how i envy you guys ..sigh!

just to let you guys know, there has been no fresh votes for a couple of days by the look of it,I think Tonys doing a count in about 3 or 4 days time,has the FW190 Got it in the bag,or will the DH Dragon Rapide make a late dash for it?.........Its tense,but exciting stuff! Whatever the winner,it will be a worthy one,good luck to all the front runners i cant wait.

Hi Guys,   Vote Counts So Far Are-   FW 190(All Variants) 30 votes!! Mosquito 28 Votes DH Rapide 25 Votes Fairy Swordfish 20 Votes Avro Vulcan 17 Votes ME109 16 Votes P38 Lightning 13 Votes DH Dove 11 Votes Zero 9 Votes ME110 9 Votes   So we have a new winner at the mo with the FW 190.....This is fantastic news! However it can all change with the click of a mouse! Still Rooting for the DH Rapide myself,guess i like to chase the dragon! The FW 190 Is No Less A Worthy Winner Though It has to be Said

Hi Andy,   That is great to hear,I like you and many really dont understand why the govenment axed such an advanced aircraft.It would have more than paid for it self with orders from all over the world,a bit like the SR53.I would compare it with Frank Lampards goal in the world cup just gone,dis allowed but clearly a winner,so sad,but hey thats pollotics for you!                                                     Best Regards                                                        Steve

Hi Andy,   Comming along nicely,my grandad made parts for this and others including concorde over at Vickers/B.A.C in weybridge surrey,we ended up buying ex vietnam F4 Phantoms off the americans because "THEY WERE CHEAPER" The tite wads!!!   Lovely Subject,Any chance of a plan for this and your others,for good old RCM+E?   PS Should be a little pocket rocket i reckon!!!

Hi All, Will Get Right on to It Tone,will give the front runners as they emerge,as accurrately as i can. Cheers.

Hi All,   If by some miricle there was a comercial aircraft chosen,it probably would be a good choice if it forfilled all 3 rolls ie civil/military/comercial like say the DH Dragon,DH Dove/Devon,DC3/C47,Or the VC10(would love to see one in British Caladonian Colours! All of these have forfilled the 3 rolls with success in fairly good measure.The VC10 Still does,as far as i know.As far as the voting goes hopfully most of us will be suprised in a pleasent way!................................Time will tell,good luck to all regardless of out come

Hi Papa,   Happy New Year to one and all when it reaches you guys,did you see our display on telly in London? Got to be our best yet! I think your idea although suggested before is great, at least Tony probably get more satisfaction out of something he would like,more than these heated debates! Still we are a democracy i spose,and evryone is entitled to his/her opinion.                                                         Kind Regards                                                           Steve

I understand your veiws Erfolg and Barry,   But i do also beleive it is time to break the usual WW2 Trend,not that there is anything wrong with them,coz there isnt! Is breaking the mould to hard for some people to bear,or is it just out of their comfort zone? Remember guys does it really have to be military - WW1/2 to be iconic........I think not!  What i was mearly doing was agreeing with Kiwi G With the decade thing example say 1950 to 1960 and get only the 3 choices (like we,re allocated now) With a differance ie............................................................................   1) Military   2) Commercial   3) Civil   From the time period above(example) that way we would all get a vote in all of the above 3 allowing for a bit more choice other than war birds etc,after all Erfolg not every one wants fighters,there maybe novices out there that may want just 1 big easy build/fly trainer for their 1st model,please let us not get hot headed about this,it is only voteing for what we would like to see,some one some where is gonna be disapointed no matter what the choice!                                                   Happy New Year Guys                                                               Steve                                                    

Hi All,   I did do a rough count,and put it in the other thread,but you are all right the Mosquito is winning.I do think that Kiwi G is right though,we should only have certain decades to chose from.That way we could have something thats different thats still commercially viable like i,ve already seen ie Boeing 737 airliner,you cant say that our American readers wouldn,t like it,its American and they are very patriotic just like us Brits,or how about Concorde loved and mised the world over.I think Airliners would be a nice way to go,maybe one day!                                                      Regards Steve Adams

Hi Dan, The Me 109 did get 13 votes forgot to include that,my bad! So you never know.                                                              Steve

Hi Guys,   I have had a rough count of the votes,its taken me ages! Here Go,s...............................   DH Mosquito - 22 votes   FW 190 Butcher Bird - 21 votes   DH Rapide - 19 votes   Fairey Swordfish - 15 votes   Avro Vulcan - 13 votes   Both The P38 Lightning and DH Dove/Devon Tie on 9 votes a piece! The Westland Wirlwind is on 4 votes from what i can see,sorry Barry! Please note all these are only rough counts,though as much as the mossie is lovely,surely 2 was enough from TN? Anyway good luck one and all,those extra votes can tip the scales!

Hi David,   Any Idea when the winner will be announced,or is it to early to tell?                                                        Steve  

1 ] Avro Vulcan,loved Graham Dorshells 1 in a rival mag!   2] Handley Page Victor,So revolutionary for its time.   3] Either Concorde,VC10,TSR 2,My Grandad used to make parts for these in Weybridge,Surrey many years ago.Dont mind if pusher prop or EDF,Coz we all know its the scale detail that really counts,and who else is that best left with than TN.                                                       S ADAMS  

Hi Peter,nice looking little model. Hows the testing going,and what did the original fly like?   Looking through my magazine back issues,i noticed that you did an enlarged version of your Yuppy Love bi plane -circa Radio Modeller 1992! called Toot Sweet. Have you any intention of doing a scale up of the American Dragon bi plane from about the same era?   You dont tend to see to many bi planes published in magazines,like you used to,its a shame because the A D was very nice looking,rather like a bi plane version of the Bellenca Skyrocket as i recall.Anyway enough of me rattleing on have enjoyed all of your                              plans over the years,and look forward to many more                                                             Steven S Adams

Hi Adrian, Love the pics of your fairy battle,and gloster javelin.The battle does look like it has retracts,what span is it? Also do you or would you intend on doing a plan for both these models,if there was enough interest?.....Would love to see the plan/s in RCM&E!

Hi All, The three options i would like to chose are as follows 1] Gloster Javelin,2]Blackburn Buccaneer,3]either a Gloster Meteor NF 11-like the long nosed meteor!,or something a lot newer,but still rarely modeled a Lockheed F35 all EDF/Pusher Prop.Did try to post a few days ago cannot see my posting on here!
