This is top quality news!

How exciting! Rather typical though - I am half way converting the Hart kit to an Audax. The Hart was sold through Hannants but I only ever saw the Demon on eBay. As such it always seemed tricky to get hold of, as you pay import postage prices to get the kit from Ukraine. Nonetheless it's an incredibly fine kit, on par with Eduard, so you get your money's worth.

Excellent work! -
DBMK are a new company with high quality principles, and they are setting out to create large very detailed kits. The design and print work has been delayed by the war in Ukraine as I understand, but I have every faith the kits will start to arrive if we are patient

Airfix 1/48 Sea King HAS.5 with a few extras
mahavelona replied to HartDeco's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
That's how this kit should look! Amazing -
This is effectively a totally new airframe when compared to the Airfix kit. I suspect many of us, myself included, will get both.

I've researched these hurricanes for a commission customer and built a few. They're a ragtag bunch! You won't find any pattern to the mark or features installed. I do think they tend to have yellow wings but the various squadron codes make it hard to guess what an airframe looked like without a photo. Perhaps no guns as I can't see canvas patches but I bet this varied. Spinner is not consistent. Below you even see a Mk. X. These were the two airframes I modelled having found the best photos.

Converting the Airfix 1/48 Fairey Gannet to a COD.4
mahavelona replied to wellsprop's topic in Aircraft Cold War
I am interested in what the weapons bay carried on a COD4. Gannet Warpaint page 23 states: "The weapons bay was adapted to take panniers for stores or even a long-range fuel tank". I wonder if anybody knows what these fitments looked like? I cannot find any detail. Clearly it would be nice to include these in an open bay. One would expect the bay to be filled before external pods got added. -
I am excited about the prospect of a Wilga. Not sure what specific features make the kit look 'average' myself but given the lack of coverage to date I would take any new kit
