  1. I wonder if they might expand this to a modern kit of the N variant...that'd be fun
  2. Beautiful work! I really do like the way you go about things, always 'tip top'! How did you find the kit? Always been reticent to get one, paint job gives me the fear
  3. love this, nice to see it done. I've got the fundekal's set for this one in the stash
  4. Is it me or does that plastic seem reminiscent of the darker plastic Airfix had on the few kits they put out that were moulded in the UK? It was much less soft than the moulds done in India. Looks very nice but then a lot of things do look nice on the sprue
  5. Just had the following email from Ultracast over in Canada. 'To our valued UK customers: As you may know, as of January 1, 2021 the United Kingdom will be requiring all companies outside of the UK to register and collect UK VAT. We have been attempting to register, however after many hours of repeated attempts, it would appear that the UK government website is not really set up to deal with overseas companies trying to register. At this point, we are just unwilling to proceed any further, wasting time and energy trying to register to do someone else’s work for no pay. Perhaps, in the future, if the UK government is willing to make an easier process to register, we would re-investigate it at that time. Therefore, as of January 1, 2021, Ultracast will no longer be accepting website orders from the United Kingdom. The UK government has decided that it would like companies in other nations to do their tax collecting job for them instead of doing it themselves as the parcels arrive at the border. We are just a “mom & pop” operation and don’t really have the time, energy or resources to become tax collectors for the rest of the world. By the looks of it, the EU will be next come July 2021.' Annoying stuff.
  6. I wonder if Eduard would turn their hand to the Sea Fury given they are not dissimilar in shape and dimensions (clearly different yes) but you never know!
  7. I wonder if there is there any hope of them following this up with a 1/48 B-26 Marauder! The Monogram is getting on a bit now and ICM are getting better with each family release.
  8. Looks like it's gonna be a £50+ kit here in the UK given the quoted japanese price of 4320YEN. Doesn't seem to unrealistic given the prices of the Spitfire/G-6 in the UK. Still looking forward to it
  9. This is definitely shaping up to a must have for me. Airfix do seem to be improving their kits with every release. I for one have no issues with another 'Spitfire' Now if only someone would do a proper well engineered and accurate Seafang or Spiteful in injection plastic. Trumpeters does not count and Falcons while accurate is quite rare and a bit detail lacking.
  10. Oh that is good news, I thought they had canned the 1/48 option a while back!
  11. Nice to see them bringing it out again, hasn't been available for a long long time. I believe it was one of their very early kits that used to come in those small black bordered boxes. Stop them going for silly money on fleabay for a bit
  12. Is this what people were talking about re the 'short shot' on the tail?
  13. Aren't those decal images usually distorted colour wise to stop copying? Is there any actual photos of the sheet in reality?
  14. Wow, thanks for that! Quite a price premium over the ruslan!
  15. Well that's just typical KittyHawk up their game significantly with the Su-35 and I buy it (and some resin cones for the back), the GWH come along with this news! As you say their Mig-29 line is superb, though expensive these days. I wonder what the Flanker will cost.
  16. Yeah I know but likewise I'm wary of ordering a kit with a 'TBA' price tag
  17. I'd still like to know where, how much and we can pre order from in the U.K.
  18. Quite frankly, all of the above. But a new sea fury....*dribbles*
  19. Gawd dammit Airfix....crack on....just take my money now....
  20. Looks great! That's one of my favourite aircraft! It's definitely one that deserves a new tooling in 1/48!!
  21. Well VAT is bad enough Add import duty to that and RM/Parcel Force's additional 'Parcel Tax' if you get caught out, it's not much better here.
  22. Yes the least said about this 'island' the better Probably only going to get worse now that shipping company Hanjin or Haijin went bust recently.
