Seen political chats on here before. And besides I was simply explaining why I won't be watching it. Don't be so sensitive and don't shove rules in my face. Also important to keep in mind that the thread is political. Especially if the BBC make this you know they will shove as much SJW/PC nonsense in it as possible. A bit like a discussion on here about the Eastern Front in WW2, how do you discuss it without at least the odd reference to politics?

Looking good. I have the Revell boxing. Does the kit come with any stores for the bomb bay?
-
All the best to the guys who like to go that level of detail but for me the wheels aren't ever much of an issue. I just build the kits OOB. I have this one in the stash, I think it is the boxing that comes with the life raft and crew. I am looking forward to building it at some point.

For a long time I wanted a B-45 Tornado, that has been released not too long ago. I would still love a 1/72 Avro Lincoln and I could be tempted by a 1/72 Avro Vulcan with conventional bombs and the shrikes as per Black Buck. I have a 1/200 scale which is quite nice but I have a thing for bomb bays! Big ask/wish but Revell could also re-pop the Breguet Atlantic.

Looks good, I have always been a fan of Hobbycraft kits.

Italeri 1/72 Boeing B-52G
Morlock replied to csnewton2701's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
There is the old Monogram 1/72 B-52D, the Italeri ones are B-52G and B-52H which are the old AMT moulds, Italeri updated them with cruise missiles but the AMT one had the Hound dog missile on it. Dragon also do a few versions in 1/200 scale which aren't bad. A bit worried about the fit issues of the Italeri ones now as I have the G & H! -
Airfix announcement at Telford 2018, F6F-5 Hellcat 1/24 scale
Morlock replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
I didn't get a Whitley as I have an old Frog one which is enough for me, I don't recall the new tool Wellington, I do have the Airfix Shack and the Revell Shack AEW2. I was disappointed in Airfix's HE-111 for not coming with bombs and therefore didn't buy one. So many subjects out there some of which have never been done by a major producer or not done for decades it just bores me to see another Spitfire that is all.- 918 replies

Morlock replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
They might be reading but do they care/are able to do anything about it? I understand they might be under the pump money wise and so they will sit back on the safe subjects like Spitfires etc but at the same time that makes other manufacturers so much more exciting because they do come out with the not so obvious or popular choices. A real upset for Airfix would be another company coming out with a Vulcan or other classic English subject like an Avro Lincoln - Revell, Italieri, can you hear me??!!- 918 replies

1/72 Matchbox Chinook HC.1

Looks good. I have one in the stash, was always attracted to the version with the big Union Jack on the tailpiece. -

Morlock replied to Robert's topic in The Rumourmonger
As much as I would love to say a 1/72 Lincoln especially the longer nosed RAAF version, Scimtar in 1/72 and other subjects I think we will see the usual run of Spitfire variants, B-25 variants, F-4 Phanton II variants, BF-109's, P-51's etc etc etc One popular thing they might tempt me with is a Vought Corsair WW2 vintage, but I won't hold my breath about that either. Another year of saving heaps ahead as I have a huge stash and not interested in "upgrading" to new tools.- 918 replies

Revell Victor... Just how bad is it?
Morlock replied to Harry_the_Spider's topic in Aircraft Cold War
It was originally a Matchbox kit so it is a little clunky and some of the fit is a little bad but it looks like a Victor. It also comes with the refuelling probes so you could set up a diorama with some planes coming queuing up for a drink. I don't recall the canopy being all that bad fit wise. As it is quite cheap it is worth the extra work.
