received the kit from Alistair at Aerocraft. First impressions ... waw, this may well be a game changer for this type of model with regards detail and buildability.
I will document my build as i go and post it up on a build thread

Ferranti Sea Fury T.20, VX301 is noted as being overall black with orange cowling and leading edges. I recall an image published in an old (1970's) IPMS. Magazine photopage il try dig it out

... and they still haven't improved after a couple of decades of modellers frustrations since Igor's first releases, i really really really should know better
Just took delivery of a couple via Hannants, completely unusable (moulds are definitely scrap) and moulded in what looks like honeycomb candy (or moisture contaminated resin) with vague shapes and anything small only of use for reference
Ah well gives me a renewed incentive to scratchbuilt instead, any modeller could achieve better with a couple hours tinkering with a block of tooling resin and some styrene

nit picking, as I'm as happy as everyone else for a new Buccaneer kit, comparing the old and new kits (no comparison really) the wing fences on the older kit actually show a more accurate shape and are thinner than the rectangular blocks moulded on the recent kit. theres a prominent NACA intake missing on the upper engine shoulders too, the under surface has it depicted accurately (easily added with a scriber and scalpel) theres a few 'odd' raised panels which would benefit from paring down in thickness too to match photos, eg inner wing and just fwd of the airbrakes

There was an actual circa late 70's proposal to reenginge the F.18 with RB.199 (along with a reengineered back end) as part of a pitch to the UK./European market

Cool, il be after a couple of each in 72 scale, im sure il be tempted by a 35th Scout too, as will one or two colleagues
brilliant news -
Id definately be after a set too were you to produce them, the B2 has been on my list of must builds for soo many years, ihad put aside a spare Contrail B1, then a B2 when it came out, then an extra Mach Valiant, now iv a spare Airfix one which I fully intend to build as the black bomber
cheers, Joe

STOP PRESS, new release from 'Avalon Decals' avaliable for pre order now, Suomen Ilmavoimat Hawk decal sheets in 72 & 48 scales, first impressions are very good indeed with markings to recreate pretty much any Hawk aircraft in Finnish service in the types various colour schemes

Count me in, I would happily nab one if up to Denzils usual excellent quality

does anyone out there have any information or images on the three Messerschmitt Bf.109G-8 aircraft delivered to the Finnish Air Force ? I am interested to ascertain if any retained their camera fit whilst in Ilmavoimat service,many thanks, cheers, Joe
-
It would be really nice to see the Gauntlet kit with a new resin ? Alvis Leonides engine and cowling and markings (including civilian serial) for the currently flying example in Finland
if you need any detail references for it I can happily provide lots of photographs of the machine taken over the past ten or so years
cheers, Joe

Perhaps we are seeing what comes of years of Lincon rumours from Airfix? giving Revell benefit of doubt, maybe they decided to go with the Shack (in its most well known form) thinking Airfix would follow through with a Lincon? :-B
festive cheers, Joe

interesting, are the tail eagle markings printed in gold or yellow / I would be interested vin acquiring a sheet of these for one of my builds
cheers, joe
-
hiyas, the trim lines and titling of WG774 whilst in the mauve scheme was actually a cream shade (it was white on WG777 when painted blue tho) if you are doing a decals set for the FD.2 I would very much like to purchase a sheet too as it has been on my to build list for quite some time
many thanks, Joe Cherrie
-
hi there, how did you get on with your Ju.86 build, i was thinking of making one in similar quasi military scheme too, do you have any references for the Lufthansa one you mentioned at Malmi with wing crosses, definately be a nice touch to finish
cheers, joe
-
many thanks chaps, just what i needed, id forgotten there was a Scale Aircraft Modelling issue covering Sea King, il dig that outv the cupboard
again many thanks, cheers, Joe

iv been trying to find colour specifications/markings references for the Westland Commando helicopters supplied to Egypt during the 1980's, theres quite a few photographs in various publications, usually of pre delivery airframes but as yet i have not found a note of what shade of 'sand' was used or the undersurface 'grey'
any assistance would be very appreciated, many thanks, Joe
-
really impresive, iv tried (and failed) a few times to get my head round profiling, i doff my hat to those who can, brilliant work Andy
cheers, Joe

stunning profiles, be amazing to see a lineup in all the schemes at Telford sometime. Heres hoping you add to your neat 'Midnight Hawk' artwork with an example in the current grey scheme with underwing smoke pods, and possibly others in the original 'high vis' wavy lower demarcation scheme as well as the ex Swiss examples (the first being pretty much the same as recieved with finnish roundels applied over the Swiss markings)
If you wanted iv lots of detail piccies showing colours and markings which might be of use
again brilliant profiling, cheers, Joe
-
Hi John, just wondering, do you do the letters in 'light' and 'heavy' forms for possible overlaying? quite a few of my 1930's builds have silver outlined lettering, iv managed to get away with inside painting your silver decals previously but wondering if theres an easier route
cheers, Joe
