Very nice ,getting the Hurrricane Mk1 ,Eastern Front kit ,so i can do one with Romanian markings.

Just spotted some Tamiya ,seatbelt and IP online ,under the 1/48 LOOK label .How come none of you told me about them ? Trying to keep them all for yourselves ? For shame . Yes ,I got the name wrong ,should have been Eduard instead of Tamiya . Yes it was mean as a bit of fun ,should i have put a smiley face at the end of the post to point that out ?

Why were they painted yellow on the rear of the prop,was this for the benefit of the pilot ,maybe to show how fast the prop was spinning . Sorry ,don't laugh if i am way off target here .

Hi ,thanks for the reply .In the middle of a large build of 1/72 Aircraft ,6 Hurricanes ,five post war RAF Jets ,two captured USAAF planes ,two Bristol Blenheim's and a ME110 . Might get done by the summer ,haha.

How many DC-3/C-47s are still flying ? Would nice to see a couple of hundred flying together .

Building the Airfix 1/72 E E Lightning ,any one got a suggestion as to which of those three paint brands match Humbrol 163 . Or which ratio of which paints i can mix my own . Thanks

Imgur is also a good site ,if i can use it anyone can .

Very nice ,is there a reason the middle of the swastika is missing?

Me too ,got the Academy and the Dragon kits in the stash .

Very nice so far ,got the Zevzda boxing ,i think they are the same kit ,or it might be the Tamiya . Also got a 1/48 kit in the stash ,i like the look of the plane ,reminds me of a King Cobra .

Well ,the paint has all gone .Don't know which genius in the model making world first thought of the idea . Back to the spits ,there is one hell of a difference between the lower wing of the two kits where they fit in to the bottom of the fuselage . Might have to chop the sticky out bit off the ICM ,and stick it on the Hasagawa ,plus the rear wheel is different . Why of why can't kit makers get it right in the first place ?

Very nice ,i was surprised that the FAA used them in Europe .As i have posted a few months ago ,got 6 B B s on the go ,five Tamiya and a Special hobby . Planning to do 2 RAF Far East ,1 Dutch ,2 USN and the Special Hobby as a Finnish airforce . Don't know why i like the Buffalo so much , at the start all i wanted to do was a yellow wings and a Finnish one .

Fancy buying this as an Christmas present for myself , Trumpeter 1/35 . .
