My wife was going to that a few days ago... seriously!! Hate to think what would have happened if I hadn't been there 😊 But it really is COMMON SENSE, isn't it?

I was with bmi regional from 2007 to 2016 but mainly operated the Embraer on the Airbus routes, Hawarden, Bristol and on to Toulouse, that's the only reason I would like one in bmi colours, although frankly it shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Thank you.

I'm following this with interest as I'm waiting for one to be delivered. I have always liked the look of the Marauder, something quite sleek about it and yet quite bulky as well. Out of interest, because there is a problem with my delivery, could you measure the box for me please? Looking forward to seeing more.

Wonderfully superb, and it looks absolutely beautiful.

Lancaster nose 1/32 Border Models

Looks excellent to me 👍 Almost like looking down the fuselage of the real thing. -
My Dambuster arrived last night, I was keen to check out the clear sprues. The box is much bigger and the original clear sprues are in their own box in a compartment. That’s really good news. There is a however though. Border have produced an additional sprue, it is too big to fit in the box with the other sprues and is slipped in down the side. On my kit, one of the turret mouldings is broken but my understanding is that some of the clear parts are duplicated in the event of damage so it’s not a problem that one item is broken. The new clear sprue does have some new parts as well. I’d post pictures if I had the time…

Border Dambuster Lanc, being delivered by Parcelforce tomorrow, coincidentally at the same time as a new artificial Christmas tree so we'll see if stealth mode works getting in without the wife noticing 😉

Prices at the pumps right now are lower than I've seen in over a year and maybe closer to 18 months. Can't see it staying that way for too long though!

1/32 Kotare 'Kiwi' Spitfire
andrewfl290 replied to David Mooney's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
This is is simply stunning and the grey certainly looks better. Ever since Airfix did KL-B as one option of their Superkit it has always been a must have for me and after reading his book "Nine Lives" one wonders that Al Deere did actually survive the war. -
Phew, where to start... the same as last year, except this year I'm a bit more organised. Finish: 1/24 Spitfire Mk.Ia to IX conversion, 1/24 Mosquito, Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito, early Airfix 1/72 "G- George" Lanc and 1/48 Accurate Miniatures Dauntless. Paint my 1/24 Trumpeter Hurricane, 1/72 Frog Tempest and 1/72 Airfix Gnat. My other hobby is R/C models, specifically scale sailplanes, I'm building a 1/4 scale Slingsby Skylark 4 and have a number of other part built models to finish. And all this without starting anything new.

I use Nord and I'm told it enhances security... no doubt someone knowledgeable will confirm/deny this aspect but I do find it useful in other areas and is therefore worth the money to me.

AH-1Z Viper "Zulu Cobra" 1/35 Academy

Absolutely stunning! -
About 4 inches in Shropshire (for you youngsters that is about 100mm) last night, very pretty, the dog seems to love it. Today, it's been dull and just above freezing so mostly wet snow and slush, the dog loves that too... lying by the fire 🤣
