  1. Now that I've finally got all the pieces together for my own build / conversion, I'm expecting them to announce a 1/32 Tornado F.3 / ADV
  2. I hadn't seen the sprue until now and was planning on getting this boxing to at least chop and change the correct bits. It looks like some early 2000's low pressure mould. Luckily I already have the relevant decals in the stash so I'll just pick up another of the first release Vulcan if / when res kit or similar get around to doing the parts. Cheers, WV908
  3. What steps would be needed to convert this kit into a Belgian Mk.48? (Externally at least) Just picked up a copy of the Daco Belgian Sea King decal set so I'm eager to build this one first. Cheers, WV908
  4. I'm no fan of raised rivets and the amount that there would be on a 1/48 Sea King would make it a nightmare to build. One slip of a knife / sanding stick, the slightest glue mark or paint issue and you're destroying those rivets to fix it. Not to mention trying to get decals to bed down over them. I much prefer the route Airfix has taken and for those who do wish to cover theirs in rivets a quick blast with filler primer and sanding back will fill them, leaving a clean canvas for archer rivets to be applied. Trying to sand back raised rivets and then having to scribe is my second most loathed activity of modelling (my first is rigging) Very interesting to see that all four schemes are of XV666 - I only ever saw it in the Heli Ops Scheme so the first of my two will be that one. The second, well there's the very nice old Model Alliance Ark Royal sheet in my stash with two very nice Blue examples of Westland's finest. Does anyone want to buy a part built Hasegawa HAR.3? 😂 Cheers, WV908
  5. Finally! I'm so happy about this. I'm glad I only ever bought one Hasegawa Sea King as the prices for those now are insane Cheers, WV908
  6. 1/24 Griffon Spitfire? 1/48 Spey Phantom? I saw mention of a 1/24 BAE Typhoon, but I'm pretty sure Airfix stated a while back that anything bigger than a Harrier or Hunter in 1/24 was not viable. So a 1/24 Hunter, Meteor or Harrier / SHAR? Cheers, 60800
  7. Is the Asuka version going to come with a pilot in a red flight suit and EVA-02 markings? 😉 Cheers, WV908
  8. 16th November mine shipped I think. No breakages like what was reported from the first boxing as the packing method is slightly different. Cheers, WV908
  9. I ordered from batch two and jumped in at around the last 100-ish orders. Mine has just arrived so most should in theory have their kits now. Cheers, WV908
  10. They replied to me really fast, but did ask for some photos of the parts, hence the wait as I was only able to reply at the weekend. I got an email Monday morning to say the parts were on the way Cheers, WV908
  11. I have now received a response from Airfix spares and the replacements for my short-shot parts are on the way. Cheers, WV908
  12. I've fully checked the kit over now and rest of it is moulded perfectly, so only my sprue B is affected. An email has gone out to Airfix spares for replacement parts so I'm awaiting their response. Cheers, WV908
  13. As of yet, no, but I wanted to see if anyone else had a similar issue. Cheers, WV908
  14. I have a short shot sprue B 😭 Mostly not an issue as I can repair the nose gear bay, but my intake trunking is not really useable,so I'm thankful for the intake blanks. Two out of the right airbrake parts are short shot, but I don't plan on having the brakes open on this build I have two parts B26 and B27 which are just blobs but I haven't trawled through the instructions yet to see what they are for, but they are easily replacable. A bit disappointing that short shot sprues have made it past QC again. Cheers, WV908
