A member on here kindly provided me with some Bangladesh roundels for my Antonov 32, so a request in the Wanted section may produce a positive result. I thought the roundels had a white background?

Whirlybirds: 1/72 S-51 BEA Livery - RELEASED!
chris57 replied to The Tomohawk Kid's topic in The Rumourmonger
The Britavia kit has quite a pedigree with acknowledgements to Gordon Stevens, John Adams. Peter Lockhart & Dick Ward amongst others. The white metal parts in this kit also look nicely done, better than the same parts in the Aerodrom kit. Still I digress from your topic. Chris -

chris57 replied to The Tomohawk Kid's topic in The Rumourmonger
I see this has the same markings option as the Mach 2 kit, is it the same mould?. I have two S51's in the stash a vacform with white metal by TEE-JAY circa 1984, under the Britavia Models label and a limited run injection moulded example by Aerodrom with a choice of two fuselages, one solid cast in blue plastic and the other like the example shown. -

Yes good to see, these are the one's I credited to AZ, apparently a PFM to follow. -
Thinks!! I could wait and see what comes out of the AZ Mig 21 stable this year. Just a thought.

Airfix 1/72 Phantom FG.1 in Stock at Hornby
chris57 replied to VMA131Marine's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Slight nit picking here but the instructions are to big for the box and finish up curling up the side wall, at least on mine. Trouble is my decals are caught up in the instructions and consequently are slightly bowed. Can't see any damage though. -

You've obviously not been shopping in the right places, I've moved two Islanders on in the last year at much less than that. One I think at Gloucester show and maybe the second at the Nats. Sorry -
OK you Mods I know it's only three hours to go, but I'd got used to Blue snow piling up on my screen. Suddenly it's little dainty white flakes going nowhere. Where's my blizzard gone?

Trying to reply to previous topic I find I'm unable to increase the font size above 8, though this seems to be fine. Any suggestions, polite ones. cheers Chris Problem seems to have corrected itself; must be Christmas magic
