  1. Will hold off starting mine then! Can't find and reviews of it yet. Wondering what the online and magazine experts will make of it..
  2. Is the Mig a New Tool - or New i.e. somebody elses mould..???

  5. https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/workbench/airfix-new-tooling-announcement-for-scale-modelworld-2018
  6. Finally found this little gem of a model shop in Krakow - Called Phantom Models, Its on Dluga 5 - down though a building into a small courtyard - Five minutes walk from the main square. Lot of interesting stuff at very good prices. I came away with a few vintage secondhand Revell 1/32 P40E and Me 109 @ £8.77 and £7.52. And a Hasegawa ME 262 and ICM Henschel truck at £18.64 and £20.83 respectively. Could of purchased a lot more if Ryanair had a sensible luggage allowance. Owners didn't speak English but were friendly and helpful Trip also included Auschwitz and Polish Avaition Museum - Both recommended for maybe differing reasons. Fi
  7. looking at the list in Seattle - http://www.museumofflight.org/aircraft/. I reckon it's a P47 or P38..
  8. Great work on the PE - mine was so flimsy it was just unworkable for my fat fingers..!!
  9. sure I remember seeing a bit of TSR2 round the back of the museum a few years ago...
  10. B'ham - Coventry area apparently...
  11. A friend called and said he saw a 'Spitfire" being transported via trailer on the M6 southbound this morning - Does anyone know what aircraft ths was ( it may not have been a Spitfire but it was camoflaged!)
  12. Does anyone know if a resin replacement is still available from any maufacturer for the above - ideally for the Hasegawa kit.... Cheers Steve
  13. And........There is a chap who has created an index for Airfix Moodel Worlds - ha can be contacted through the forums on the Airfix website.
  14. Got piles of old (modelling!) mags in my shed - just can't seem to get rid of them....!
  15. I have just ordered some decals from Giannis- he did mention that he is 'finish this project' soon - so looks as if he is stopping producing the decals. So if anyone is thinking of ordering - do so soon.
  16. Not really one to moan (!) - but picked up three of the this month's modelling magazines and put them straight into my suitcase to read whilst on holiday. Now in Greece, I opened them up and they all appear to be disappointingly of a similar style... Now it's probably me, but has current trends dictated that the contents of these magazines only show lots of photos of the the finished builds with scant reference to the building process nowadays? As I said its probably me...
