Hello all. Please may I add an armour model kit. I saw this announced at the IPMS UK Nationals. Rumour of a AEC Matador artillary tractor. I see now this is released by AFV Club. It is the early version and would have prefered the late version however a kit most wanted I am sure. I see the RRP tag though is £49.99. I wil certainly have one. Then what about conversion to late and even an RAF refueller. !!!! Thanks for looking.

Hi all Northrop Grumman B2 Spirit seems very likely to me. I remember a formation a B1 a B52 and the B2 at an airshow RAF Mildenhall some years ago. Impressive. A B-2 would be interesting!! All three I would need bigger apartment!! On the Mosquitos look out for HK Models. Pete

Hi all I too looking forward to this 1/32 Mosquito. I found this page and it maybe that there will initial displays of this model by HK at Telford. I am already in the Queue!! http://www.themodellingnews.com/2013/09/hk-models-get-your-credit-cards-and.html If I find some more I will post. Pete

Hello. Wonderful build on a great aircraft however can make some observations that i found when reseaching before I started my build. The TMk5 with wing tanks didnt appear to have the blades on the nose from what I have read the blades were on TMk5A to compensate for the removal of the wig tip tanks. Also all the pictures I found the seats appear without canopy breakers. Bit confused here as all the kits have canopy breakers. I found these websites for information. http://www.jetprovostheaven.com/index2.html http://www.jetprovostfile.org/ Trust these help.

Hi Chris. I looked in Google (not good word at the moment). There seem to be many images and I also found these two websites but no indication really about the seats. I have taken photos of the TmK5A at RAF Hendon which the seat do not have canopy breakers. http://www.jetprovostheaven.com/index2.html http://www.jetprovostfile.org/ There is some great information on these sites. I will keep looking but I am confident that the seats are as you say the MB. Mk.4P. On those websites I also saw another snippet the blades fixed on the nose were only on the TMk5A as compensation for the wing tanks being removed. Something to think on. Great modeling Pete Modelminiatures.

Hi Please may i add to this thread. I have both kits and look great the reviews I have seen built. I would like to do justice to my builds. I am lucky to be close to RAF Museum at Hendon as well. I do have a question on the seats. On looking i can see the MB Mk4 was intstalled however alot of reference in the kits the seats appear to have canopy breakers. Can anyone point to what should be correct? Thank you Pete Modelminiatures.
