HI all, Just back from a ban for making a remark about Vladimir Putin - fair enough I guess. But what is OK and what is not - everyone's waving their Ukranian flags which is fine, but if you actually speak out instead of flag waving you get a ban - unclear to me what is and what is not acceptable. Let's see if the moderators have an answer to this or just throw me out forever - hope you like a challenge @moderators. Thanks,

And best wishes to you - I live and learn. Marc.

Thanks Markus - all clear, no offence intended, thanks for all the investigations you have obviously been undertaking. Kick bottom if this actually comes out which I suspect it will. Marc. -

No offence Shorty but and I quote 'they have no idea what's going on with them at the moment' due to Covid - the rest of the world is doing just fine commuicatig via Teams, E-mail, you name it, I'm far from convinced this should be a factor. I suspect that Annetra, Tan Model and a bunch of other fly by nights cannot put their money where their mouth is - completly unrelated to Covid. Glad Trumpy is picking this up - hopefully the A-Team.

Thanks Alt, I already have ZM on order at Krikke modelbouw: https://www.modelbouwkrikke.nl/contents/nl/p74779_Zoukei_mura_sws4814_f4g_phantom_ii_wild_weasel.html for a far better price than at MBE but I'm also looking for the Meng kit. Anywhere in the EU would be fine - Lucky Model has it at a nice price but VAT is going to cost a bomb. Marc.

I share your sentiment - every model has faults. In my opinion (can of worms time) most modern kits, at least that I build, are really pretty good. Most of the time I can't be bothered with kits that are badly engineered and take laods of time to fix so I usually try to stick to Tamiya, recent Kinetic and Airfix and some Trumpeter / Hobby Boss. Tamiya F14 for example is amazing (although the cockpit is spartan - went for some AM there). I can't resist the occasional KH becaause of the subjects they do (the F101C was swearing removed of work) but I go in with a different mind set, Sorry, off topic I know. Marc.

Thank you Lusatanian - I'll be checking the Tamiya kit later. Had to check where Lusatania was - thought it was a ship. Marc.

Sorry for being an bottom there - do me a favour Tony; I've built the Academy B (or J), the Hasegawa E and am about to build the Tamiya B. What should I be looking for - as I understand it it's a missing microscopically sized bulge - is that correct? Thanks, Marc.

Read the ARC thread - storm in a teacup. Issues raised by people with borderline OCD who have forgotten what fun is. Regards, Marc.

If that was offensive I would have to keep my mouth shut for the rest of my life. Marc.

Good day all, I'm ordering the ZM F-4G. Does anyone know if MRP carry those colours in their range and what they are? Thanks for helping! Marc.
