Two Nimrods
attached, both to 1/72 scale and are very different in size, both were based in
Malta at different times, one in the 70s and the other in the late 20s. Both
British and operated mainly over the Mediterranean.
My Nimrod Mk 1 , the
jet ASW aircraft, I used the Formaplane 1/72 scale model which was the largest
vacform kit I built then but since I also built the Nova RC-135 which is also
vacform kit.
The prewar Nimrod I
made from the Matchbox , modified by adding singhys pack on upper wings,
arrestor hook and some lifting hooks on wings, also in 1/72 scale, built to
represent one of the Nimrods based at Hal Far airfield which was a frllt air arm
base in 1927 era.
