Hi definitely jealous, I ordered one direct from SH and waiting on one from hannants to come in stock I will be lucky if one of them gets across the pond to me by june but looks like it is worth all the waiting but gives me chance to think of maybe doing one in a ' speculative ' scheme of P6994 when it was in the USA with the USN, ( basically same colours as the grumman x5f skyrocket in 1943/4 ) cheers jerry

Hi Well couldn't wait any longer for hannants to get stock so ordered one more direct from special hobby, slightly more expensive than the one i will be getting from hannants but i reckon in all, i will be getting two normal ones and one hitech when it comes out cheers jerry

Hi If you just want an operational bomber command Stirling from the IV kit You can make it as a 100 group Stirling IV Think the details are in a/c of 100 group book If I remember correctly Cheers Jerry

Hi. Halfords one place that I do miss from the UK Cheers Jerry

Hi All Thanks for all the input, I may experiment first on an old model to which works for me Cheers Jerry

Hi All. Future project B-25D turretless KL147 'BH' of 5 otu, boundary bay, BC Canada There are some nice photos of it on the net and I have the Iliad decals for it But I have not painted a natural metal finish before So any suggestions on the paint to use, or is there another method ? Cheers Jerry

........ Incidentally. Wasp's records shows no trace of British paints being loaded (source US historian Ron Smith, IIRC) ........ Hi Seems the usual thing I find when researching official records. They conflict Maybe as Dana says one day records may turn up to prove one way or the other Cheers Jerry

Hi Dana, Interesting thoughts & info so not the deck paint theory then But could possibly have been a paint of the same colour which would explain to me the deck paint story remembered by vets if it was the same colour Cheers Jerry

Hi. If I remember correctly from threads I read, some have everything and some don't Maybe two production runs thro the mold ? Spur shots and instructions here https://www.super-hobby.com/products/P-70-Nighthawk-17302042.html Cheers Jerry

Hi All , In anticipation of sometime getting my mitts on a SH 1:32 whirlwind Were bomb carriers for 250lb and 500lb the same carrier ? Or were there two types ? Cheers. Jerry

Hi. Interesting that no trace of British paints being loaded, so some type of USN paint was used ? The USN deck stain was blue according to this link below I am not saying the spitfire were painted in this but it is I think nice to point out all the theories that are around https://www.shipcamouflage.com/specialtopics/BlueFlightDecks.html#:~:text=By the time Hornet repainted,sailing on her shakedown cruise. Cheers Jerry

Hi. There is the old story of USN deck paint being used Quote from an old flypast forum thread "Both my father and I remember him saying that the Spitfires were painted with deck paint from the US stores during the voyage." https://www.key.aero/forum/historic-aviation/127570-spitfire-questions-from-a-ignorant-yank To save you a Google search there are a few photos in this thread https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235046263-spitfire-a-go-go-and-the-siege-of-maltakopro-spitfire-mkvc-172nd-scale/page/2/ Cheers.

Hi Was about to order from hannants, then saw the cost of shipping the kit to Canada was almost the same as the kit price Has UK shipping costs recently gone up ? Looks like I can't justify ordering from the UK anymore Cheers Jerry
