    Dazzio - Great Treader

    Just to add to the above, I also picked-up a very nice 1/48 Lynx AH7 from Dazzio, sold at a good price and packed extremely well, it even defeated the phantom postal parcel crusher and arrived in perfect order.

     

    I have no problems in recommending Dazzio to one and all. 

     

    Cheers Dazzio, very much appreciated.

    RN Buccaneer Weapons and folded wings

    Hope this might help

    On board the aircraft were parked (depending on space) to allow the engineers / armourers to spread the wings bomb-up (usually) then fold the wings and we would return the aircraft to the correct parking spots. The aircraft had no problems doing this even with 1000lb bombs.

     

    Found this unusual load

    Thanks for the response, I know what you mean ref KD 341 I ordered a copy of “KD 341 time capsule” by David Morris and as you rightly say of the pictures showing that area there is no sign of the vent exhaust, thanks for the info ref the blanking plate.

    Cheers

    Great info again thank you, when I opened this subject I had no idea how much in-depth info could be found just by looking at photos, it all makes sense, thank you again.

    Hello all

    I'm not sure if this is the correct location for this topic, please move if required.

    Has anybody from the UK or other countries had any experience of purchasing from modelwereld.eu from the Netherlands.

    I've read some good things but, also some bad things about their service.

    With thanks
