Hi there,
I was 'having a browse' and came across this forum and thought I would post a video and a few photos of my 1/4 scale flying 'Little Nellie'.
The model is almost an exact replica of the real thing. The designer and pilot from the film Wing Commander Ken Wallis has helped by providing me with drawings. I have been up to to see 'Nel' a few times to take measurements and photos. The model flies pretty well and all I have to do now is add a pilot, missiles etc.
I am currently building a 1/2 scale version which I hope to complete some time next year
I hope this may be of interest? I have lots of photos of the real thing and the suitcases used in the film etc
Any way enough of me going on:s, I have added a link to the video and a few photos (hopefully)
