Neptune

[Ian Warren]

Another favourite of mine , looks mean and again like such planes at the end of WWII , they were well above there capability

I pulled a book out this morning and spotted an amazing colour photo of a complete all metal , no ocean scheme on it , you can see the rivet lines , just impressive .

This is the old Alphasim model , him wonder how close i can get with say a pre-based unit , unfortunate the AS dose not have a turret , but those got to be interchanged .

Nice pix of a nice aircraft . I prefer the Shackleton though

[Ian Warren]

I have the ole Shackleton done by the Shack group of South Africa , another hav'nt installed for many years , the Neptune dose have a New Zealand connection and Wigram was a base for the US Navys Nep's during Operation Deep Freeze in the late 50s.

very nice Ian

[Ian Warren]

Thanks Matt , having a play with the paint since studied a photo yesterday morn place metal plates to suit the structure , not bad for a very old model . The cockpit is bit off a let down with the gauge , i wonder if they can be replaced with better read Alpha Gauges .. Adrian Brausch is the man to see about that
