Hi Me for one I will wait... the comment in this review is interesting quote Looking at the few parts that are marked “not for use”, I wouldn’t be surprised if Revell would be planning a radial engined B.II as well. http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/sear...=clnk&gl=ca cheers Jerry

Hi bidders identity is private, but on all the auction I have been on you can go into item bid history and click on the bidder and see the activicty with the seller. i.e. sometimes they are bidding 100% with seller, sometimes it shows bid retractions, and if all current bids are with that particular seller. the feedback number also can give hints. depending on all this you can sometimes smell a rat... cheers Jerry for example on a current normal auction on e bay the two bidders details Bid History: Details Bidding Details Bidder Information Bidder: l***g( 188) Feedback: 100%Positive Item description: Item Title: Airfix Westland Whirlwind. 1:72 scale model kit.

Hi I am always sceptical of these ... .................. private listing - bidders' identities protected ............ auction types. As you are not able to work out who is bidding against you..( you can't see bidders history details ) cheers Jerry

Hi SAM MDF mosquito has first op as 24th October, HX902 DM-E, HX903 HX-I. Only pre d-day photo, is of a one in standard delivery scheme, standard day fighter colours, dark green/medium sea grey. cheers jerry p.s. found a link http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/painting-...lors-23863.html

Hi all, Curious what are the known issues of the matchbox mosquito. I am considering it, due to the versions it is, as none of the other models have two stage merlins. Is it a lot of work, or is it best to hack the engines off it and put them on another ? cheers Jerry

Hi Thanks for posting the photo, I like these types of photo, I have one of a spitfire on a devon airfield,with FAA personel around it. I thought at first it was an FAA aircraft, until the owner of the photo explained, that when his raf squadron moved into the airfield they had no groundcrew with them and the only ones qualified on the type of merlin fitted, were FAA groundcrew, so they serviced his and the rest of his raf squadrons spitfires.. Cheers Jerry

Hi Found this site whilst on my continual quest for some 70's to 90's RN warship drawings, thought it maybe of interest to fellow board members. http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k279/shipbucket/?start=all cheers Jerry

Hi A type 23 in 1/350 would be nice. As would a type 23 in 1/600 as well, to go with my other ship model kits. I wonder if we will ever get a hermes off anyone. cheers Jerry

Hi Might be a re pop of this one ? ICM 1/72 DO-215 http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/port...do-215b-4-i.htm cheers Jerry

Hi Thanks for the links It looks like I have the colour scheme now, just need to find the spare time. cheers Jerry

Hi All, Many thanks for the replies and links. So far I have only managed to find this photo of trenchant http://www.btinternet.com/~warship/Feature/trench.JPG cheers Jerry

Hi Just a bump cheers Jerry

Hi I to am also looking to do an S class sometime. As my memory is no so clear, I seem to remember quite a bit internally changed. But externally, was there a difference in the postion of the sail. And was there a difference in the forward weapon loading hatch, or was it the aft engine room hatch ? cheers Jerry

Hi I seem to recall a video on 'youtube' of someone converting one, but think it may have been a desert version, but I suppose you could just ignore the info on the filter build, you would get what you want. a youtube or google search should bring up a link. cheers Jerry P.S. found it

Hi My options, for the look on the pilots face.. 1) ....... They just painted my lovely NMF thud a 'drab' color ...... 2) ........ I ain't eating no more of that english cabbage soup ....... cheers Jerry

Hi The thing is I don't think there are any alternatives, the others I know of are re issues from the airfix mould. ..... but I would like to be proven wrong.. cheers Jerry

Hi All, Thanks for the info,my curiosity has been solved. cheers Jerry

Hi All, Every now & then I manage to get hold of an old aircraft magazine...great because i usually get to see photos I that are new to me, for example a portuguese blenheimZE+B, But the photo that interests me most is a general nose photo of an airspeed oxford fitted with two De Havilland Gypsy six III S engines. Any forumites know the serial of this aircraft or any other details ? cheers Jerry

Hi a nice naval P-38, I have often thought of a whirlwind modified the same way, radials and naval colour scheme. Sort of made under licence by grumman as some sort of 'cat', replacement for the XF5F skyrocket.. Maybe one day when i get some spare time... cheers Jerry

[quote name='avro683' date='Nov 3 2010, 08:17 AM' post='624159' ..... CA aren't around anymore. Tony Hi Maybe the moulds might get a tidy and re pop by someone cheers Jerry

Hi nice model,like many posts reminds me of days gone past. cheers Jerry

Hi All, Thanks for the replies, looks like I will try this in the new year, when i have longer evenings... cheers Jerry

Hi All, After my spate of e bay 'buys' with missing clear parts, my last two 'buys' have been missing a propellor. So I have to create a Lanc prop for my matchbox kit, and an P-70 prop for my revell kit. ( both 1:72) Never had to do this before... So what is the best way, scratchbuild or some form of casting using one of the existing parts. I don't want to buy white metal as it will make a dent in my hobby budget. cheers Jerry

Hi For info the manuals I mention are not those on seawings.PM sent. cheers Jerry

Hi I have a pdf copy of the us navy pby manual, it's very big. PM me your e mail address if you want a copy, i will send it over the weekend. cheers Jerry
