BD757

I would love an airfix P.8A up to their recent standards. I know many thinks it is just another boring grey aircraft but it will a key part of UK capability for the next 20 years.

Mine was just delivered by DPD - will have to wait to get home from work to check it out!

I've waited this long and I have a stash that can keep me occupied! Any organisation that can deliver anything between 20th December and 5th January are super-human! Given all the disruption in the UK caused by various storms, I think they are doing ok!

My clear parts are thankfully ok on my kit. Only issue was that the main canopy had detached from the rest of the clear sprue. I have repackaged appropriately to keep it safe and scratch free. It is a monster of a kit. Just need to build up the courage to get her on the bench!

Pre-order has been released by Airfix. May see this before Christmas!

Received my dispatch notification from Jadlam. Hope to have the Dambuster under the tree for Christmas!

Great looking Phantom! Top work!

Attended my first SMW on Sunday and I was simply blown away buy the sheer quality of skills on display. I have to call out some of the special stands in my eyes - The Tornado, Buccaneer and 1/32 SIGs but also the motorised Dambuster Lancs. The competition area was superb and the 1/200 Vanguard class sub and 1/144 Astute were my personal preference. Does anyone know which exhibit won best in show? I will be returning and may even see if i can make it to the BM meet-up! Also need to call out an amazing act of generosity from eModels to my buddy's son who was attending his first model show. He is a modeller for life now, I think!

I would dearly love to see a 1/48 HP Halifax in a red box, but 1/72 seems much more likely in my eyes. My predictions are: 1/72 HP Halifax Sepcat Jaguar Lysander 1/48 Spey Phantom Merlin Seafire Jet Provost Maybe we will also see a rerelease of the 1/48 TSR.2

Anyone know if this has been released in the Far East? A couple are popping up on a well known auction site! One for ridiculous money!

Superb!!! Ordered for the stash!

I don't care what anyone says, that is a fantastic product launch! Take my money!!

It is the anniversary of the Manchester's first flight today......

I have watched and followed others do amazing things with this kit that I know I can't replicate. But I am sorely tempted by this boxing. The image states new clear parts. Is that newly tooled clear parts do we think?

Has anyone any news of this re-release? I made a pre-order at The Model Centre but their page for the kit has been removed. I am assuming that the release was limited to the far east?
