All I had to do was remove the planes livery and paint the engines blue then add the decals

Brilliant but verging on the obsessive!

It has to be said you are very sad, but I like it so does that make me sad too? Get it on ebay and go into production, I see a profit in them airplanes mister. I want one

[zombo]

Never lose your enthusiasm for music Tony I used to work on aircraft and watched Bruce on TV as an airline captain brilliant model!!

Hey Tony nice one.

I am a big Maiden fan partly because the first band I saw was call Evil Ways, They went on to become Urchin, and both Bands featured Adrian Smith. I even had two guitar lessons from him when I was first learning to play.
Saw Maiden at the Ruskin arms a few times as well.
Bunch of nice guys

Nothing geeky at all about that, man. It's frickin' cool as can be. Everyone has different hobbies and if yours is putting models together then there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing one up Maiden style. I happen to be a Cincinnati Bengals freak and have all kinds of toys around here. I had a guy do me up a custom McFarlane figure of my favorite player. It's all good!!

I know these guys are just busting your balls but in case you took any of it serious I thought I'd give you some kudos for it. That's a bad ass plane, man.

Urchin rocked, Evil Ways was the basement band they had (Dave and Adrian) and I have fished with Adrian. I have also gigged at The Ruskin

Looks even better in that picture!

If you look really closely you can see Bruce waving through the cockpit window. :-)

I guess this is not news to you Tony but.... they played a rehearsal gig in a pub in Norwich a few years back. They went under the name of "The Nodding Donkeys". I think they did a few gigs under that name. I have a faded old Tee shirt from the gig. Should have kept it pristine bit it got tye died and had the sleeves ripped of when I got over warm one day! LOL
