    VMA-214 Have not as yet transitioned to F-35B - last time I looked they were scheduled to transition sometime this year

    Would hope that seeing this will be a standard hasegawa cat-a-log item they will give you at least another squadron option for the decals... But I am sure the aftermarket decal people will provide choices in the not too distant future... if they have not already

    Well sadly the 1/72 Westland Wasp release by Airfix has been put back to 28th October 2062 Alas I do not think I will be around by that date... Yes moderators you can smack and caution me for bringing this up in the 2019 thread - perhaps we should start a Airfix 2062 thread then ?

    I still have not seen a corrected box top (actual kit box) for real !!!!!!
  5. Uncle Dick
    We really needed another 1/72 F-14A new tool like a hole in our head
  6. Uncle Dick
    Resolution not quite there but lets play Spot the difference ?

    The hi light release has to be the 1/72 "Hot Shots" decal re-popped Gnat but will they provide the blanking off of the rear seat ? Vignator has already beaten them to it ... though am not sure what scale vignator model is in Now a series 2 kit and probably not because they have included a Garfield to stick on the canopy as Vignator did but because of the choice of decals - ouch !!!
  8. Uncle Dick
    I noticed they bumped this in to series 4 kit now - ouch !!!!!!!!

    Forget the Mig-15, Eduard has that well and truly covered. What I wanted was a production Ka-52 with Russian and Egyptian transfers...

    Airfix scaled down to 1/72 - shut up and take my money Airfix!
  11. Uncle Dick
    Now if only MPM were to re-pop the 1/72 Fujimi Skyhawk series I would be a happy chappie!

    Irritating that they skimp on this, short takeoff mode might have to the be the go ...

    Welcome news, though it does not look like the bomb bay doors can be built open... which is the same on their F-35A
  14. Uncle Dick
    Party pooper!
  15. Uncle Dick
    No bomb bay open option is better than no Canberra model at all - S & M are clearly in league with an aftermarket producer whereby the aftermarket accessories cost 3 to 7 times more than the price of the airplane model kit itself

    And an excellent model at that Flankerman ! I took the plunge and ordered 6 from Luckymodel Anyone have any details of camo schemes on Sudanese and North Korean examples - I do not know whether they had/have the A-5C version - I found this video by the BBC on the Sudanese Fantans some excellent images in it

    Righto chaps when the semi circles align to form a full circle we are all in perfect "V" formation symphony...well almost - I say number 2 bring it up a little...
  18. Uncle Dick
    I say chaps, can someone more enlightened than my humble self, please explain what the red semi circular markings with red triangle on the fuselage and wing fence signify or mean???
  19. Uncle Dick
    I'll second that thought! I have a quartet of AMK Kfirs winging their way to me - would love a Nesher and Scooter!
  20. Uncle Dick
    Now that is constructive thinking and a commendable attitude to take with these matters!

    At first glance it looks like 2 x AS.12 Missiles on the starboard side but on closer inspection it is actually a mix; an AS.12 on the outer pylon and a AS.11 on the inner! Were the RAF Wessex ever armed beyond a GPMG in the cabin ????? Good wind up when HMAS Melbourne's cat was sick.

    Not even sure Air Graphics is a registered business or company - by the looks of their future releases they appear to be pirates of copyrighted material just look at what they have done with the MRH-90 future release the main photo on their cover/box top/marketing is clearly ripped off Airliners.net and they have chopped off the photographers credit/ copyright. Not to be trusted...shonks
  23. Uncle Dick
    Wot no Pilot Chappie type or crew members? Airfix could have bumped up the price easily with 1 pilot figure into a series 10 kit or; an Elephant with a Mahout of any description? into a series 12 kit
  24. Uncle Dick
    Well I might say stuff the Air Fixed procrastination and the Freighted dog going astray - I'll be in for the proverbial truck load of these if they are half decent! My favourite whirly bird of all time - even beats the Sea King... I have 6 AS-12 missiles from CMK in the stash if non are provided to spice them up - just hope S&M provide the rails and supports... Go you good thing S&M !
  25. Uncle Dick
    In my my best sarcastic tone Airfix missed an opportunity to raise the price on this release after their clever release of the Me-262 as a series 3 kit with series 2 parts, The R2 Stuka - should have been released as a series 4 kit ! I 'll take cover now...
