I would even build this Panther if there was a kit.

Lego?

Even less of an excuse since it's based down in deepest Notland.

The strut from the coaming to the top of the windscreen will be an interesting task. I won't be doing too much inside as I'm not opening the canopy.

The old and new at Prestwick this afternoon. The KC-135R is the 'Boss bird' ,58-0100, from the 100 ARW at RAF Mildenhall. It first entered service in 1959 as a KC-135A.

Correct..I am not little. Sorry..no can do. OK..let's go. I have only seen one Fokker S11 and it is this one at Strathallan. Note the absence of a military serial so I can't possibly build that ..I've already finished one civvy this month. Fortunately G-BEPV was formerly E-31 of the Royal Netherlands Air Force and even more fortunately, it then went to the Royal Netherlands Navy until it was retired in the early seventies. I'll be doing it in these markings. This is 'BEPV as it is preserved but the markings are near enough correct and it has the
