  1. That is a very nice model you have there. It kind of looks like a souped up Mercedes of the same period to me. My memory says French built with a Chrysler engine? I think I've only seen the Vega before.
  2. That looks great. I too wish these kits were easier to get over here. It's years since I watched the film. I must do that one rainy day.
  3. That would be fabulous (FAB ?) No rush at all. Notably the Airfix Railway bits on the docking station and the RADAR support hanging down underneath,
  4. Well it looks okay in the picture unless you zoom in. So well done, Sir! I think possibly, if you wound fishing line around the ring it might work. But that way lies madness! I have an AIP kit in the stash, The Fireflash. Got it cheap and then found it was missing the elevator cars. I sent an email asking about spares but no joy. One day it might get built on a stand. Though it's a bit braille scale for me so, Better go to specsavers
  5. Thanks for the information. Not the car I'm thinking of. Very nice looking, both of them. They make the E type look old fashioned!
  6. Thanks for your posting @paul-muc There are some great cars there. And on the link. It's odd to see a Morris Traveller on German plates. Unless it's had a bigger engine fitted, I can't see it keeping up with German traffic! The Zippert E type was a surprise. What a great way to advertise your business. Is that a Borgward on the trailer? The yellow sticker on the door is for an American Taxi I think? I've forgotten the name of the nice looking car in the last two pictures. (There's a yellow there one too) But wasn't it based on Opel parts?
  7. I don't know if this video on the tube will be of use. Sherman DD tanks in India, and what's left of them today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTyV8hnvTO8&pp=ygUSc2hlcm1hbiB0YW5rIGluZGlh
  8. Only if you promise to build it and then display it in the bottom of a fish tank.
  9. Google says that Montone manufacture truck and trailer bodies in the USA. https://www.yellowpages.com/dillon-sc/mip/montone-trailers-12787437
  10. Lovely radial and the prop is getting there. Nicely done. The VW is looking good too. I like the seat inserts. Well done for the preservation work. Years ago my Mother in law was showing off her new Leopard skin pattern blouse. I said it looked like Ford Zodiac seat covers. I got one of those looks from her😃
  11. This would be Lincoln. The nearest thing we have is a noodle shop I will keep an eye out though. Cheers, Pete
  12. Okay, got them. thanks. Aside from a couple of pictures showing the range only three are pictured and named individually; Labubu, Amethist and Hiroshi. I favour this last one. Normal Ma.k prices are ridiculous over here as it is. These are crazy. The cheapest is 16.99. The most expensive is just under 300 GBP! All plus post. One post offers all twelve sent at one per month for 160 GBP total. But all are still plus post. I don't think I'll be getting any then. At Least Kow Yokoyama gets named in all the posts. Thanks for your help.
  13. Barking mad and all the better for it. The question is, where to search on ebay for them? I just did a search, but had no luck.
  14. At the Sunday Market this morning, I saw a sign on a stall declaring that the fruit and vegetables were being sold in punits.
  15. This build is taking almost as long as a Zeppelin shed build by @Martian
