  1. As stated on the tin: "The best damn model club this side of The North Sea and south of the River Tay and to the right of the M90 and up a bit from Auchtermuchty" is having it`s annual show in the Old Parish Centre, Cupar, Fife, this Saturday, 15th June. It`s always a guid ane!! I have been reliably informed that there will be cake. YAY!! There will also be high quality scale model displays from several clubs, and much modelling cheepness to be had from a variety of vendors. https://www.eastneukmodelclub.com/ Hope to see you there!!

  3. Anyone know what the latest on this re-release is? ETA?
  4. Takom are meant to be re-releasing their 432 (both their versions) in 35th, but no firm dates on that, other than `soon`. It doesn`t take much to take Tamiya`s Challenger 1 back from it`s Granby `91 guise, to BAOR guise, especially with the help of some excellent build articles here on BM. Did anyone mention `Accurate Armour`? They do a load of Cold War Brit stuff.
  5. A lot has to be done to the RoG kit that really should have come as standard, such as the empty yawning space beyond the intakes, etc. And the kit has deteriorated a lot in terms of quality and fit since it first came out. I noticed newer kits are much more prone to warping, deformed parts, and flash, than when originally released. But some issues have always been there since the beginning, like that fuselage join that has irritated me over all twelve Typhoon builds. Not insurmountable problems, but a new Airfix kit would be nice.
  6. 72nd scale shipbuilders would cherish a Wildcat model, I`m sure. Type 45 and Type 26 both available from Fleetscale in 72nd. The more people see Wildcat on their teleboxes over the next twenty years, the more sense it makes for airfix to produce one now.
  7. In the thick of it onboard HMS Valiant during the vital Battle of Cape Matapan. A sad loss. but what a full life he had.
  8. Absolutely love Bovington. Travel over 500 miles to get there and have to be dragged out at closing time. Best of luck with the new venture, be safe and be excellent! Cheers, Ian
  9. I don`t know why the link isn`t working but it isn`t. Typing `Amusing Hobby Shot Kal` does the trick.
  10. Amusing Hobby 1/35 IDF Shot Kal Alef # 35A048 (emodels.co.uk) Interesting. But didn`t the two extra turret machine guns come after the 1973 war as a response to the guided missile threat? I stand to be corrected and I`d be interested in any pics of the `73 war showing this three mg arrangement. Cheers, Ian
  11. Still a nice kit, even though the core gubbins are marked 1985. Tamiya built them to last. Still got crisp detail. I`ll be following this with enjoyment. 👍 Cheers, Ian
  12. Excellent, invaluable assistance again, thank you Dads203!!! 👍 Cheers, Ian
  13. Thank you very much gents, that is exactly what I needed, thank you. Cheers, Ian
  14. Thank you Dads203, some excellent assistance! I have sought out Wogga`s build and it is just the ticket, as well as being an exceptional bit of work. Very much appreciate being steered in the right direction! 👍 Cheers, Ian
  15. Thanks for the replies. I have no idea about this subject matter, but it was the radio relay FV439 vehicle with the masts etc stowed on the roof, that I was going to model. Ptarmigan Triffid/Radio Relay FV439 - Military Scale Models - HMVF - Historic Military Vehicles Forum I understood, possibly wrongly, that the Wavell system was fitted to a separate vehicle designated FV435, with a large box structure to the rear of the hull, so started a separate thread for that. I was looking to do both, but I know next to nothing about either. Thanks again, Ian
