PhilB Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Terrific model overload! They are all terrific Derek but the Yam' LC looks real! Happy memories of when I first went up to the "smoke" and needed a "proper" bike. (Had sold my FS1E!!!) Choice of Honda 250 Dream, Yam LC 250 (too noisy and mad!) Kawa KH250 triple (too noisy and mad!) Susy 250 GT Ram Air (too noisy and mad!) or the one I settled on the Yam XS250 four stroke. Happy memories of trolling back to Cornwall and back on the A303 on that one! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Dereck, these are really great models. The P47 and that tiny Chinook being my favorite. Well done mate! Cheers, Loic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 'Twas a nik-name I acquired after continually buying old (built) models, taking them apart and building them again. Best recycling possible Keith, great job Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like we had pretty much the same mid-70s biking experiences (I have owned all of those bikes at some point in the past - and many more besides...I stopped counting after 105 bikes... )...Happy days . I still own and ride a BMW R1150RT. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Loic Hello Loic, Glad you like them. Those 1/350 scale aircraft were just me having a little fun to see if I could do them (I actually scaled down a set of 1/72 plans to 1/350 scale, then made templates and shaped/built them up exactly the same way as for a 1/32 model!). For an experiment in foiling technique, the P-47 came out pretty well I think. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
