Nothing ever on telly. So I had a bit of fun making one of these. It's only taken 8 years to finish.

It's handy having the real thing.

I think the keyboard is covered in what is known as "excitement" :beam

That's my old keyboard. It's about time I splashed out on a new one.

Excellent! They came out in the early 70s not long after the film Battle of Britain. I've still got the one I built when I was 10. It's one of the few left that never met a firey end on our aerial runway.

If you did that it would look just the same as your old one so save your money :roll:

Here's a better picture.

I'd like to thank Aoshima - the kit.
Tamiya and Humbrol - paint.
Diamonte - shock and fork leg reflectors
Sainsbury's strawberry jelly - tail light colouration
Revell Contacta cement - for some very nice fumes.

I bought 2 of these around 3 years ago, so guess I've still got 5 years or so to get to it as well.
