The Mr Hobby aqueous colurs are still in production and routinely available in the UK. Jadlam models H324 Wonderland Models H324

Checked the book again and it seems to be a typing error. Colour should be 14087.

According to this book US Army Aviation Color Schemes & Markings 1942 to Present by Lennart Lundh the colour was 14187

The Hobby 2000 Washington kit has the 15 Squadron aircraft with the black undersides on the decal sheet while Air-Craft models have a decal sheet for the B-29 Washington in RAF service which also features the 15 Sqn option. Air-Craft Models Washington in RAF service

The Academy B-29 was also re-boxed by Hobby 2000 as a Washington with RAF decals. It has been unavailable for a while but Hannants have recently re-listed it as a future release as H2K72069

I am curious to know where this suggestion of price hikes comes from . I work in the model trade and we have known of the change of UK importer for a while but the recommened retail prices that we have seen from Hobby Co are about the same or slightly less than those currently quoted by Hannants. Here are a few examples. Hobby Co RRP Hannants RRP ICM35106 Sd kfz 251 39.99 41.80 ICM35421 Gulaschkanone 42.99 44.40 ICM35746 Dragons Teeth Obstacles 14.99 14.99 ICM35748 Ukrainian rmy Chevrons 14.99 14.80 ICM16301 Viking 24.99 25.80 ICM16302 Roman Centurion 19.99 24.99 ICM48227 Ju 88 USAAF/RAF 59.99 59.99 ICM48323 B-26G Marauder 74.99 75.80 ICM72215 Marston Mat 11.50 11.50 ICMDS526 Wehrmacht AA Guns 89.99 88.60 ICMDS2402 Model T Ford pack 69.99 70.99 Who was quoting a price of £47.50 for 35603 the Monty's Caravan because both Hobby Co and Hannants are quoting £69.99 as the RRP.

I have had a chance to look at the article in more detail. There are a few photos of 800 NAS aircraft in it. One is b/w (page 56) and shows a Buccaneer coded 113 refuelling a Sea Vixen and the code and deck letter appear brighter that the ROYAL NAVY title on the fin - could be white . There is a colour photo on page 57 of code 111 which looks like it might have a thin black outline to the code and again the code could be white. On the other hand there is a colour photo of code 104 on page 95 which looks to be pale blue. The suggestion of a black outline to the code triggered a memory. Modeldecal sheet 57 had an option for XV358/107 and the code 107 is given in white with a black outline. Modeldecal had a reputation for careful research. There are a couple of b/w photos of the aircraft on the instruction sheet. I had a loook at YouTube and found this video of operations on HMS Eagle in 1970 HMS Eagle 1970 It looks lke a home movie. From about 3:35 there is footage of a couple of Buccaneers landing where the unit codes and deck letter appear to be much brighter than the ROYAL NAVY titles on the fin. There seems to have been a perception since the 1980s that 800 NAS used non-standard white unit code numbers. I don't know whether that is true or not.

The author of the Wings of Fame article is given as Dennis Calvert with additional material by David Donald. No details of the source of the information are given.

There is an article on the Buccaneer in "Wings of Fame" Volume 14. Page 68 has a section on the colurs and markings which contains the following: "Shortly after the S.2 entered service the basic colour scheme was changed to overall extra dark sea grey with full-colour rounderls. Pale blue was used for most markings although deck letters were usually white. 800 Sqn used white codes and continued its unique practice of presenting thwm on the intake sides."

Alclad ceased production for the retail market in the UK a few years ago. They still manufacture the paints in bulk and it is sold as the MIG A stand range.

The caption to the photo of XT135 states it belongs to the ARWF which I think stood for Advanced Rotary Wing Flight i.e. a training unit hence the dayglo panels.

We in the trade were informed this morning and it think you will like it.

I believe that King Charles had asked that there was no unnecessary waste during the changover and so stocks of coins, banknotes and stamps with the Queen's head were to be used up before being replaced with items with his image.

Traditionally Hornby have increased prices by roughly the same percentage over the whole of a given range. That is not going to happen this time. Humbrol 14ml enamel paints and acrylic dropper bottle will rise by 20p to £2.89 and the spray paints will rise by 50p while most other Humbrol prices will remain the same. As regards Airfix, Series 1, 2 and 3 will remain the same price but most other series will rise in price by between 3 and 5% although one or two series prices will rise by up to 10%. The new 1/24 Spitfire VIII is expected to to remains at the same price of £99.99
