Slingsby T61F G-BUIH

I chose this particular example as the basis for my model because the colour scheme suited my needs - the cowl is all one colour, so minimising the painting challenge and the rest of the scheme lends itself to being realised with film covering and some red vinyl trim.

It took some time to arrange a rendezvouz with the full size G-BUIH and by then the model was already flying. However, I took quite a few pictures which helped in detailing the model. I have included most of them here just in case they help anybody else choosing to model this particular aircraft.

I would like to thank Lee Ingram who flew G-BUIH down to meet me halfway and enable me to take these pictures. It was a wet and windy day so, as you can see in the video clip below, Lee headed for home as soon as we got a break in the weather.
