Thanks Andre I checked out the Coastal Craft Akan listing I possess but 73049 isn't on there. I'll have to increase my Akan holding. cheers Chris

Gentlemen Assistance needed Can anyone point me in the direction of the relevant colours for this beast. Using the Airfix kit which states M22(?) RAF Blue-Grey. Offered up Humbrol 79 & 96, followed by AKAN.73066( Bit Dark) & 73008( To Blue). Help

Model Alliance sheet 72-127, the On Target Canberra sheet has markings for a T4 based at Llanbedr. hth cheers

Hi Neil Picked up in the late nineties if the memory's working. Just before you went to Cyprus?.

I've got Paragon 7234 the Sea Mosquito tr33 conversion but it doesn't include the air intakes or elevators or the undercarriage/wheels shown in your example so perhaps there were two issues.Chris Vince of ModelsforSale has one on that auction site at the moment

Dave Little of Combat Models purchased the masters off of Martin( Magna Models) about two years back. He released the two 1/48th Firebrands and the 1/72 Twin Pin at last years Nats. Only limited numbers. Colin of Freighdog liaises with David, they share table at the Nats. If Fantasy are doing the decals that will be an improvement over the previous efforts which I believed were done by AIMS, although the Single Pin decals were never a problem and I do like the Malaysian option(Original Magna issue).

Send a PM to Jabba here on the forum, he was twiddling his thumbs up there about that time, or Wez might have some info. hth cheers Chris

Send a PM to Julien explaining error, he'll help you out.

Andy You might fare better posting this under the AFV( target) section. cheers Chris

Toko did three Antonov 72/74's in 1/72 scale. I made one as Ukrainian AF, sold one on and have one in the depths of the stash somewhere. If I remember correctly the one I moved on was in civil Artic supply markings. The length of the model is 390 mm. hth cheers Chris

Just wait for it to pass through the sanitation system😇

Hi Florent and welcome. Either do a search for Flanker or PM a member whose so obsessed with them, he's titled Flankerman. hth cheers Chris

You learn something every day! I was under the impression there were two brothers, one as Superscale and the other as Microscale. Obviously Fake News.!!

But didn't Microscale cease to exist when the brother passed away?. I know I picked up a lot of mine from Squadron.

Have a chat with Ray at Fantasy Printshop, see if he's up for it. I have most of them in the stash if he needs a pattern. Alternatively Paul Davis might still have some

Looking through my S/Scale catalogue I see that 72-188 is US Air Force fuselage lettering(various sizes), 72-189 is USAF wing lettering, 72-216 is US ID letters & numbers(60 degree)' 72-234 id letters. There are various sheets of individual subjects with blue lettering ie 72-176,177 (F-100's). hth cheers Chris

Gentlemen at the risk of being boring, reference post 5 on this thread. cheers

Might be worth checking out Wendy at Guideline Publications, Justin at Avid Reader, and Simon at Aviation Bookshop. I've spotted the publication at shows but not examined them. Have you been in contact with Mark 1 themselves?.

Martin at Coastal Craft distributed this range but I think he no longer carries them. Your best bet might be Peter at MAN models with the Hataka range. Perhaps a call to him to avoid disappointment. hth cheers Chris

Wonder if they'll follow Magna and do the Peregrine engined version?

This takes me back to my mis-spent youff lurking around Lasham trying to avoid security. Put me down for one.

Hi Dennis Airfix did a Scottish Aviation Bulldog ages ago, kit number 061. In fact a guy in Germany is listing some on THAT auction site at the moment. cheers Chris

Excuse me young man this is the Mig 17 thread, I'm glad to say. The Buc thread is five further up. Go and play in their back yard and vacate this playground. Blooming kids!.

I might as well play silly B's to. 1/72nd Belfast &/or Beverley.
