Happy New Year

A happy new year to all. With lasts nights hangover starting to recede I have been working tonight on the Buffalo. However the images are having a little trouble uploading, so I thought I would post some model related snaps I took while on exchange to the UK last year. Above the Operations Group Bunker for Fighter Command at RAF Uxbridge where the majority of the Battle of Britain was directed.
At about 30 metres underground we have a collection of models scattered around the interior. Above you can see the New Zealander Sir Keith Park who controlled Fighter Command.
Nice Spitfire
Nice Hurricane
More of the same.
Another Spitfire and an aircraft that's mostly forgotten, The Bristol Blenheim.
Avro Lancaster. Hopefully the problem will be sorted so I can post an update of the Buffalo tomorrow, or later today.

  1. These models look a bit bigger than ours. Mind you, Park had a bigger playing surface...
    Happy new year to you.
