Hi there,

New AlphaJet with a WS of 1.80 mtrs, PSS, and all EPP ! (2 EPP blocks are needed to make it !  :shock:

As usual, the AlphaJet will be available through Islandmodels, and anybody interrested can contact us for pricing and so on...

Yeah, tried to do an Irish scheme, but the plane just fell apart, flew badly and costed 3 times what it should be...

Back to French scheme, and all back to normal...  :P  :P  :lol:

Ah well...

If you'd painted it British colours it would have overrun the timescale by 300%, and cost an extra £4.5Bn. But it would have been a brilliant design, if only it had ever got off the ground.

West Cork colours will make a perfect model, which will be finished any day now.

You didn't think you'd started a political thread did you Fred? :lol:  :lol:

Yes sorry about the size.
I just pasted in the link to the Wikipedia image.
How do you re-size an image when the image itself is not under your control?

Maybe a link to the Wiki entry would have been better...

No worries, just took ages to download, and I'm on a 20mb link  :wink:

Personaly, I use PHOTOFILTRE (it's free, and 2 clicks and you are done!) to resize all my photos for the forum (600x600 max) and use the forum's server.
