Two Matchbox arrived from ebay and tonight will have a look at what they look like to the plans and pics in me new book Ian

Did airfix retool the S2B perhaps? as the nose I have is one piece and whilst not nasty doesnt match the draweing n the new alliance book. I'm looking at a number of options thanks for looking so far.... Ian

They show em online too! Ian

Is the Matchbox nose any better in shape or profile? I did have one but it was as a new relaease! Ian

Well....They are here tunred up today recorded post in a nice package...not bad really Almost as fast as an order from Han.....Oh what am I saying Ian

Got myself one of these too..... Ian

I bought mine from Lou and a very happy chap he was too...Very obliging and helpful...he had a good stash of em too! Ian

Keef ta very much! Will do....right weres the wanted section.... Ian

I have begun a little collection of RAF cold war models and the idea is to have a number in a rnage of colours era's. I have bought and intend to use the basic Airfix s2b with other parts and have been bidding on frog and matchbox examples for parts to possibly bash. I also have the airwaves etch for the cockpit and airbrake dam. Also grabbed at Telford were parts from Aeroclub which will really lift the very plain moulded landing gear. Transfers initially will be gulf war from the excellent model alliance. I have also bought the Model alliance book again from Telford and looked at the excellent web site on Buccs. they mention some parts as having been in existence, when would these have been produced and how likely are they to pop up? Are they worth seeking out? What option is any are there to correct the nose? Any ideas gratefully received Ian

Thank you gentlemen, Well just before home (17:00 hrs) I got me credit card out and ordered online from them VAT 19%!! and a supposed discount of 12% for christmas orders and $8 postage.... How quick a service are they normally, can anyone speak from experience. It wasnt that I wasnt prepared to order direct just that if somone had a stock and had taken the trouble to order them in I would sooner support an existing stock. Well three kits ordered Typhoon 1/48 Harrier GR7 1/48 Tornado F2 1/72 Ian

Just a simple question really from a newbie... If Hannants are out of stock of an item who is most likely to have a stock in the UK... Im after the set for the 1/48th Typhoon cockpit and other bits...and not sure when it actually came out Anyone? Ian

Had to pop to Warrington Hobbycraft today and was looking at getting something, I came away with a christmas gift for a nephew and two "suprises" for me. Both Revell 1/48, A Typhoon and a Harrier GR7/9 at the new vat rate but also 20% off. The offer is on all Revell normal kits star wars doesnt feature, offer to last till Christmas eve Just a heads up really, happy if a few quid less in the wallet. Ian

Bought a Lion Roar set and SAM set at Telford Saturday! Ian

Ta Ian, It seems to me fairly straight forward having been used to railway conversion sets the Aeroclub parts are a breath of fresh air! Ian

Bit more work on various parts with a micomark non marking chiesel to tone down some of the rivets. Pics to come soon if they would serve a purpose for people? Ian
