| THIS is the page for
aero-model pictures - your own, or others you've seen at the club or at
a show; they are all welcome if they're nice to look at!
If you're not into digital photography or
scanning pictures, why not send me some photos by regular mail? It's not too
pricey; a batch of five or
six photos costs $1.00 airmail postage from the USA, for example. My address is on
home
page. |

models are the craftwork of DON COE. |

 Curtiss
P-40, built from TopFlite Gold Series kit and powered by OS 120
Surpass and fitted with Robart retracts. All the paint is Dulux vinyl
matt with Ronseal satin polyurethane varnish over hand-painted insignia.
The scheme is based on the full-size Kitty Hawk owned by Rudi Frasca, a
picture of which was featured on the Aeroplane Monthly calendar
for 1998 |
|
|
Nieuport 17, built to
1/5th scale from Don's own design and drawings. The model has an OS 40
Surpass engine. Covered in natural Solartex and finished as Major Raoul
Lufberg's aircraft. |

I very much enjoyed a visit to Wings
& Wheels Model Spectacular held at North Weald Airfield on Saturday 30th
June. Here are a few pictures I brought back. Unfortunately, there
was no detailed printed programme, so I cannot identify all the models
or their owners .
 |
Vario Air Wolf, flown magnificently by Vario's
demonstrator pilot DAVE HOLLINS. The model has a carbon
fibre shell, weighs 23lbs and is powered by a Zenoah 23 petrol
engine. With 12 servos on board, she has a working
under-belly rocket launcher, retracting guns, working navigator
lights and retracting undercarriage. |
 |
A beautiful large-scale model of a Sea Otter -
looked magnificent in the air. In the background, Dave's Air
Wolf sits on the tarmac where he kindly moved it for me to take
its picture. |
 |
Here's one I shot especially for Steven Bolin -
the B-17 Memphis Belle, looking suitably
weather and battle-worn. |
 |
There were several of these hi-legged beasts
around on the field - can anybody identify it, please? |
 |
Star of the show in my book was 26-year old
STEFAN WURM from Germany with his immaculate Challenger. This
chap's flying display was breathtaking and absolutely wonderful
to behold - watch out Christophe, he's after you! |

don't have to be perfect, either. If you like it, let's see it!
