Telford 2012; A few of my photos

These are from Day 1 - Friday evening. As this was my first time there, and as I was restricted with what I could take on board an aircraft I was using a combination of an iPhone and a Canon compact, so excuse the quality.
First up the lads setting up the display
Posted Image
P-47D - the detail I found super, wondered why it wasn't in the competition hall.
Posted Image
A Lanc and a Railway line, but look at all the other detail...
Posted Image
Hawker Typhoon Mk.1b of 198 Sqn, R.A.F.
Posted Image

More later from Day 2.

competition area, I recognise the base, and the aircraft looks good on it.

Thanks Philip, but I wish i had been able to bring my Canon DSLR, like Mr. Paul of NUJ fame.
Also I realise that I was simply too new to this huge event. Hopefully next year I will be better equipped to take photos and to take in a lot more. Although I fould that with few exceptions I tended to photograph aircraft that I either used to build or am basically interested in.

Neat workmanship!

A few ships/boats

Something smaller

And even smaller, but I love this hadn't seen one for years. I built one in the '50's and broke it playing with it! Foolish me.

Back to aircraft.. it was the paint work that caught my eye, I'm not a fan of the Eurofighter.

Refer to this when viewing the next image

It looks like your first three pictures have broken links, did you move them inside Photobucket?

It comes out of the box this way and it looks like a very crisp and clean build and I think it looks, well, attractive as do the other 'Idol Master' models.
Definitely noticeable between the bunch of colourful Grey-Grey-Grey and a bit of Grey-Green schemes of modern jets.

Nothing wrong with a pink aircraft; after all you can tell SWMBO you did it as a gift and win some brownie points. :P

Begining to catch up - problem is that as I work on the photos I am spending so much time just admiring the workmanship.
Alan Brislane's EP-3A "highly commended and it is a 1:144 scale model which is why I missed it at Telford.
The photos were taken at today's SNN meeting. thanks Alan for bringing it out.

Another view of the rear and the very fine aerial wire.. and business end of an EP-3

A view of the underside, thanks to the reflection of the evening sun.

I was too late to the meeting this afternoon to see and photograph part 2 of Filip's making of stands and weathering the concrete, sorry.

A few more from the Competition area
Dauphin II IAC and it looked very well. Helicopters appeared to be "in" this year, especially the Lynx.

Something for the Nightfighters GB, and (heavy) weathering was very much in evidence this year also, perhaps due to the proliferation of powders, paints , and inks. Junkers Ju188 Nightfighter

Thanks for the photos David.

That Dauphin looks superb! And the Orion is simply incredable...can't believe it's only 1/144 given the detail

That Dauphin is really nice actually. Shame we don't have them anymore.

Some very good photos - your cameras were fine!

Not so sure about this recent fashion for heavy weathering. I think the proliferation of all of those powders and other things should have been left to the targets, who were, after all, in the mud. Many of the aircraft (except perhaps the more robust Soviet ones) would have been unable to fly if they had such weathering....Perhaps a few had some worn paintwork, but that amount of carbonisation/soot from engines would surely have been cleaned up by the 'erks, even among the Luftwaffe, unless perhaps after March 1945, when things went pear-shaped and they were lucky even to have the fuel actually to fly.....

Seen as I now live in the septard isle it seems a shame I have not managed to get up to the Telford show... every year I say next year, but I believe 2013 is a special one so maybe that will be my new years resolution.... again

I think that we can't resolve the problem of weathering here, it's down to personal preference and choice - and study of original photographs - but, some of the aircraft were sooooo filthy that the camouflage colours were hardly recognizable. Especially those lighter shades got a lot of abuse.

Like this pretty much spotless example - quick googling only and hoping that this is not photoshopped model :O :

As for the Dauphins, general opinion is, that they should have never entered service with IAC, but neither of these two have nothing to do with this topic.
