having looked further there are quite a few others close enough to british n, i noted a boeing 777, airbus 350 and others.

Nice model, but one of the long time standard scales for model aircraft is 1:144, which is already close to British N.

I model 1:160 N and even there 1:144 is more than adequate, given the subtle size differences between modern aircraft (eg Airbus A319/320 etc)

I have a couple of 1/144 kits to build (Typhoon and Apache, both of which have been seen over Bristol), and recently I spotted a rather tasty looking 1/144 A350 kit (supplied with MSN001 flight test colours).

I have a growing itch to make a representation of the former Filton taxiway crossing as a T-track module.

It's an ever growing list of projects....
