Flying Legends new workshop service.

Postby Mike Booth » December 24th, 2012, 1:53 pm

Seasons greetings one and all. I have recently moved my whole model operation to new commercial workshops.
I am now in a position to take on pattern making, tool making (moulds) and painting work.

I will be operating under the sub title SUPERMARINE WORKS.

I'll look forward to your enquiries on 07866294323 or studio.mike@btinternet.com

Regards Mike Booth.

Mike - JEJ looks a real treat. Another one roles of the line at the new production facility. Does the commission run to you 'dirtying it up' and giving it the Booth final touches or not?

Nearly there now on latest client build.
I'll be putting it all together soon, so will make sure I get some decent 'airfield' shots before she goes to her new home.
Apart from fitting the customers receiver, this project is finished to literally add fuel and turn the prop over.

One of our Spits took a hit over Barkston Nationals last summer and went into an inverted flat spin.
The pilot Ken Baldock-Marrow bailed but the old Spit tried to mess up the landscape.
Fortunately the landscape came off worst, the damage to GZ? Was limited to tearing the front end off and a few de-lam joints in the wings.
So here she is back in the shop for re fixing and laminating the front end back on.
All done she just wants a re fit and paint and she'll be gracing the skies again soon.

Interestingly the Grand daughter of the 92 yr old pilot of GZ? has been in touch and asked if Kenny boy and me can organise a Flypast with the model for him.
He had apparently asked after the model after seeing pictures on my website.
Time being of the essence, plans are afoot.
