upnorth Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It's great to see the BH.9 on the way. Will there be more models of members of that aircraft family in the future? On the matter of Czech subjects, would the Tatra T.101 ever be something you'd consider? It would be great to have one to place alongside your Zlín Tréner kits as the T.101 was an ancestral design to the Tréner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Jan - on a serious note, what are your thoughts on a DH Venom (see 'this thread) Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well, Tatra 101 is not in the draft now. Not sure it will be someday. Venom - unfortunately no. I understand there is a lot of camouflage variants etc. but we refused the Vampire/Venom family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beard Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 6 hours ago, Jan Polc said: Gentlemen, you are right - Avia BH-11, 9 and 5. And for those who were asking for Chipmunk - it goes to the moulders together with Avia, so release date is....... Jan, as I was nearly right can we have a new-mould Hurricane II A & B please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little disappointing however at least now we can stop thinking and dreaming about it and move on to something a little more popular.... Anyone got decent plans for that 'Fruitbat' thingy!!

SleeperService Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Now about that Chipmunk . When you're settled in 72nd scale the 48th builders with their shaky hands and poor eyesight would like to spend money with you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 We were talking about Chipmunk in 48 scale in the company. But just talking only.... I am afraid that slots in 48 are full for this year... Mostly jets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Polc Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 In fact I can not comment Petr, as he is owner. Let mesk for Bobcat and its fate. What I know is, that I have British and Canadian aircraft designed and ready for decal construction. I will inform you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Boak Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 It's good to see transfers appearing for the IAF, but you will hear that the I Sq IAF A.A example is in some doubt, and the green/grey camouflage is in considerable doubt. Except probably for R with the Sky trim. Also the white bands were not adopted until January 1945. and shortly after removed from the Hurricanes because of their predominantly low-level operations. I would have expected to see bomb carriers on the majority of these aircraft. It would be good if your kit provided a better example of these than the crudely mis-shapen things on the Revell kit.

"Best" is highly subjective, but you can't go wrong with most things from Bernard: http://premiumczechbeers.co.uk/product/bernard-11-svetly-lezak-unpasteurized-light-lager-4-5/ http://glutenfreebeerstore.co.uk/products/bernard-gluten-free-lager-4-9-500ml Other good brands to watch for, though I'm not sure of their UK availability, are Chotěbor, Dalešice, Polička, Poutník and Svijany. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input, most helpful. Agree wholeheartedly about subjectivity, I should have asked for favourite or some similar term but hate typing & best is a nice small word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I will bring some to Telford. I am drinking what is locally available - names as Kozel, Radegast, Staropramen. But nice are beers from local small breweries. But I am sure it is not possible to buy in UK. When I am going to Iceland shop (called internally Britmodeller in AZ), I am buying strong Danish beers White bear. I reccomend, but drink carefully. I am going to Nuremberg Toy Fair in two weeks and I am looking forward to German (Bavarian exactly) dark beer. And now it looks like I am alcoholic...... :-) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I used to get Budvar and Budvar Dark from Laithwaites, but they seem to have stopped selling them now. Waitrose advertises the Dark, but currently unavailable. I have seen Staropramen in the UK but not sure where or when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prenton Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I know this is still a bit off topic from the main purpose, of AZ kits, but since it was started... You can get Staropramen easily in most good supermarkets in Ireland (such as Supervalu), but I have not seen the other Czech beers mentioned. It is possible that they may be available in the more specialist off-licences. Of course, there is a growing craft beer industry in Ireland, where any number of interesting (and tasty) beers can be obtained. Jan - if you decide at some stage to come to the IPMS Ireland National show (usually the first weekend in October, or two weeks after E-day, each year), we can treat you to some of these.....:) Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 First apologies for dragging the thread off topic, I hope you don't mind too much Jan, and thanks for the suggestions. I'll be going to Telford next year so I'll definitely look you up! Secondly thanks to all you other guys,plenty of research info there, rest assured will be studying the subjects in much greater detail but maybe we should get back on topic now, thanks again chaps, spad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaddad Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 OK, this is me back on topic. So Jan, what about this cryptic mention of jets, in 1/48th scale? What will they be? Come on you can tell us, you know you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Polc Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 spaddad, more details about our this year planned projects will be published after Nuremberg Toy Fair. Let us keep some surprises for our distributors...... :-) Thanks for refreshing intermezzo discussing Czech beers. I think that the best way to try it is to make a trip to Prague. We have excellent aviation museum here with many planes you can not meet in UK, plenty of pubs, some ten model shops...... Let me know if you will come, we can meet and drink some beers or visit museum. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
