dad's lad

I think you're being too hard on yourself Graham - after watching this spectacular build unfold I don't think that the canopy framing is any less noteworthy than the rest. Gotta love the Mossie Clive

Ah but I did state in my first post that I know zippo about the differences between air forces!!! Clive

Here's one of the Hasegawa sets. The other is a weapons loading set. Clive

I don't know whether RAF equipment is different to other air forces but there are US sets available from Hasegawa and Revell did some with their HAS kit. Clive

Picture in this thread: Jag Clive

Here ya go Ted: linky

I'll be in touch then Clive

Not me, I'm strictly braille scale Clive

Same as you mate - Arnold - a short stagger from The Arrow!

Well I was going to invite you out for a pint one night but as you've just made my feeble attempts at modelling look amateurish in comparison...... Clive

Not to mention the further variations with thin white outlines and those with US style "bars"! Clive

The story that I always heard was that the roundels started off as traditional red/blue or red/white/blue but when aircraft started operating in the Pacific where Japanese forces were, the red portion was removed from the markings so as not to be confused with Japanese aircraft in the heat of battle. Clive

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the confusion over the scale is because Hannant's newsletter listed it as 1/144. I only suspect this as I went and had a look myself and then checked Revell's website to see if it was new and noticed the scale there. And YES I can SEE it says 1/100 on the box - it didn't register as I was excited at the prospect of a new mould Caravelle!

Scale would help? Clive

Vultee Vengeance or was that India?

Nice looking Tiffie there Rich, looking forward to seeing the Anson finished too when your foot recovers :shithappens: . Clive

Looking good Nick, gotta love the Hurri in desert clothes. I think for price and level of detail, this one is still hard to beat. Clive

or what a load of :w***: ers

Burn the witch!

Any takers on this one? I'd like to know too Clive

It's a rebox of the Matchbox kit. There are plenty of builds and reviews around I'm sure. Clive

Don't hold your breath on that one - it's Clarice's Toys - small selection of Revell/Airfix. There used to be a good place in Carmarthen but haven't been there for many years so it may have closed. Clive

Be in Tenby myself next week

What version did Matchbox make? If that was an F2 then I have the decals. Clive

My apologies Sivcev. I'm always amazed at people who apologise for their English when I can only speak one other language - gibberish!! I'm sure that your English will be much improved hanging around here but you may want to check whether it is suitable to be used in public. Regards Clive
