I first read Ulysses about 50 years ago on a trip to Skye and finished it in a day and at the end of it i felt that I'd read something very special. At that stage I really wasn't a serious modeller and since Airfix didn't have a Dido cruiser in 600th I gave up ever being able to build one .However I never really stopped reading it for the next 5 years or so to the extent that . I can still remember large chunks of the book. I'll be honest that I'm not a RN WW2 expert , but I di have adequate reference material to be able to be build a decent model and I hope that I can do a decent job on this model , On a person note I'd love to do the toothless wonder HMS Scylla since it was adopted my home town during the war - anyone for a few 4.7" Twin mounts as well

Anyone got a copy of HMS Ulysses hanging around? I don't normally build ships but those pics of the test build are very tempting

Piotr Mikolajski - I believe Adam Savage of Mythbusters put it best .. "I reject your reality and Substitute my own" I know you're right , but it's nice to dream -

VMA I would have added those aircraft as well but I couldn't type thanks to a cat lying on my hand - but I completely agree with all of your options! -
1/32 - Fleet Air Arm pilots and sailor by ICM - released
colin ritchie replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Nice figures indeed , but that Pilot looks as though he'd more at home in a Fulmar or Firefly or a late model Seafire .. well I can hope can't I? -
I think they did say that they were going to split pricing such that it's 1/2 on Pre order 1/2 when the kit is ready , 5-6 months? - unlike their previous kits when you paid in full upfront Payment details

colin ritchie replied to GRIM REAPER's topic in The Rumourmonger
If there is going to be an Accurate Britphantom included as part of this range then I may have found what I'm going to be doing with my retirement! -

1/32 - Aichi D3A Val by Infinity Models
colin ritchie replied to Largescale32's topic in The Rumourmonger
Looks to be a huge improvement over the Vampire and Helldiver , count me in for sure -
Missik , I'm denying that is accuracy is important then you are almost forced to spend a lot to replace the inactivate parts of the old Hasagawa 109s however I tend to treat these kits as relaxation between more demanding projects so I tend to build them pretty well out of the box and I accept that the final kits are "perfect" what ever that means I will build the ZM kit at some stage but building the best 109 in 32nd isn't my aim I just enjoy myself ,
