I’ve manage a little modelling – air and rail – over the past few weeks.

First, an bf-109e.  This is a fairly old Airfix kit, and because of that is not over detailed and went together well, and fairly quickly.  I decided to build this one as it is a model of one of the 109’s sent to Japan for evaluation.

On the rails, an interesting lineup?

Left to right….  The new Rapido dynamometer car.  A lovely model.

Then I’ve finally got my ‘Caroline’ out of the box, coupled to a CJM Class 73.  I bought a job lot of 73’s, that needed a little maintenance.  This one is now running well, if a little noisily.  Unfortunately the ‘Broadlands’ nameplates have dropped off.  I shall have to hunt some replacements.

And finally, a class 419 MLV.  A Gosport Railworks 3D printed model, on a cut about Farish 4CEP chassis.  I could afford to use a chassis, as I bought a ‘2CEP’ off Ebay, with just two driving cars.  The 3D printed body is a little vague in places, but I’m very happy with it – it looks like an MLV and it’s all my own work.

And finally, I’m starting another plane.  This is just part of the cockpit for a Fine Molds Zero – I hope some of this detail is still visible when I close up the fuselage!
