BIG X

WOW!!! I'm working on one of these myself at the moment - but it isn't a patch on yours - the wood graining looks amazing. The cargo looks brilliant too - I bow down before your skill

"New for 2017" is one end of the stick - here is the other end... Source - Hannants news letter I received this morning - Message; Airfix has recently sent us a list of kits that are now Finished. They are here. Get them while you still can.... https://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php?adv=1&product_category_id=108&product_division_id=&manufacturer_id=7897&product_type_id=&code=&scale_id=&keyword_search=&setPerPage=25&sort=0&search_direction=0&save_search_name=&save_search That's a bit of a begger for me - as I had my eye on a couple of 1/24 Luftwaffe items. I know they are old moulds with new decals - but I really fancied a go at the Messerschmitt 109E & the Stuka. Now the question is - are they finishing them to reissue them with different decals or are they dead & gone for good??? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

...Wow that is really cool - I've just found... 94-0070 AE07E4 United States Air Force RCH650 United States Military McDonnell Douglas C-17A Globemaster III C17 Altitude: 35000 ft Speed: 443.0 kts Heading: 295.7° Vertical Speed: -1344 ft/m Squawk: 4637 Species: Landplane Transponder: ADS-B Latitude: 56.10839° Longitude: -4.98839° Route: Route not known ...It seems to have taken off south of Cologne & is currently over Oban in Scotland - I told you this stuff is addictive

Hmmm - Interesting - must take a look...

Civil & private only on this site I'm afraid - but here in Saddleworth we get very little military these days - being on the direct approach to Manchester Airport. There is a white Huey though that drops "strange white bags" on the moor every few months - fire control maybe??? Back when I was a kid we used to get Vulcans & Nimrods over the house - on the way into Woodford Aerodrome (Avro) - the Woodford air show each year used to be amazing in the sixties & seventies - ah those were the days.

I don't know if this has already been posted in the last 33 pages If not then you should take a look at this... https://www.flightradar24.com/ It will show you what is "really" flying over your house - even if it is at 40,000 ft. Be careful though - it is very addictive - time to get those binoculars out

That is really cute well done. Is this kit still available? I have seen a Zvezda kit advertised - could it be a re-box?

Ingenious - thanks for the idea
