And now 3 weeks later, work is still going on with a number of active projects. New wings for a BoB film Hurricane, new moulds being made for a Spitfire II (with wonderful assistance from people at Duxford), a new P-51D for New Zealand and four Spitfires finding new homes in the UK, one being hung vertically 20ft above the ground, as if it was flying down the road!
This last weekend we travelled up to the BAE factory at Salmesbury, where we placed an F-35B on the gate, alongside another of our creations a replica English Electric Lightning. Wonderful stuff indeed.
We have had wonderful feedback as to the 109. Through social media and this website. Can't thank everyone enough for their kind messages and approvals. Just got to try and make some more now!
Sent mailshots out, but as of yet, only one Museum has a strong interest in one. But people are very keen on parts. Perhaps we will do more when confirmation of the new BoB film comes through?
Who knows, every day is different, and almost every day someone, somewhere asks for the suitability of a project. Kaman Huskie, Avro Vulcan, Sea King, Mosquito, P-47 and Stuka are just a few that come to mind that are either under consideration or have fallen by the way side. Tomorrow it might be another Spitfire. Personally I would love to build a T-6. Get one in from the cold, restore it, exchange it, fly it and then place an accurate model back in it's place, which will last a lot longer than the real thing. Just a thought of course.
So, again thanks for everyone's kind comments.
Best wishes,
Martin
