Title: Airfix LIDAR scan of UAS Bucc
Post by: smudge on January 27, 2019, 08:37:21 AM

Article about using LIDAR to scan the Long Kesh Bucc as the basis for the new Airfix model kit. 

You need to scroll down about halfway to actually get to the gist of the story or search for "A British aviation classic in plastic" title.
