  1. So far i have 2 Viggens , One Draken Ordered.. and then the come up with this,, "Excuse me dear,, can I have another £250" - yeah that'll work!
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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!
  6. 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?
  7. Looks pretty good and certainly a step up from the ancient Revell 1/32 A
  8. 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
  9. 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!
  10. Looks to be a huge improvement over the Vampire and Helldiver , count me in for sure
  11. 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 ,
