Hi I am still browsing the site, lots of photos to find a nice 217 thread https://reibert.info/threads/dornier-do217.581920/ cheers jerry

Hi corrected now Always had trouble with countries when they are/were east of the old wall as to current affairs hopefully i was not seeing into the future cheers jerry

Hi not sure if this ....... correction ...... ukraniani site has bee posted before exploring it i found this that might interest some https://reibert.info/threads/neobychnyj-kamufljazh-ungewoehnlicher-sichtschutzanstrich.1300002/ https://reibert.info/forums/ljuftvaffe-luftwaffe.19/ cheers jerry

Hi his posts are sadly missed by me and most likely many others nicely for us all his notes are posted here https://www.jonbius.com/edgar-brooks-spitfire-notes/ cheers jerry

Hi slightly off topic maybe ? but i wonder Mod's ? could all the malta spitfire threads should be combined into a sticky thread somewhere cheers jerry

Hi slightly off topic, my future intention is to use an old airfix magazine article for a 1:72 scale manchester conversion and just scale it up to 1:48 using a tamiya lanc only difficulty for me might be building the manchester engine nacelles cheers jerry

Hi yep seems so as someone has mentioned rumourmonger thread cheers jerry

Hi the hannants site refers the stirling to the sanger kit quote from hannants site 100 Group Short Stirling Conversion (designed be used with Sanger kits) Blackbird Models BMA48008 cheers jerry

Hi also see the description on hannants of the 1:48 halifax conversion Blackbird Models BMA48004 ....... for HK models ........ cheers jerry

Hi read this comment on the future blackbird conversion on hannants Blackbird Models BMA48004 Description: 100 Group Handley-Page Halifax Conversion (designed be used with Hong Kong Models and Fonderie Models kits) https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/BMA48004?result-token=PH6g4 so blackbird think HK is doing a 1:48 halifax cheers jerry ps wonder if there will be a 1:32 halifax first

Hi I like the matchbox one also the 1:72 frog one, bit harder to find now i don't know any of the accuracy issues of either as not my field of research cheers jerry

Hi Maybe I should try model motorcycles instead of my 1:1 scale bike restorations cheers jerry

Hi didn't expect to win it but off ebay for 40 Cad 1:600 free enterprise II cheers jerry

Hi on page 3 of this thread it gives a serial for a twin 20mm cannon blenheim extract from the thread L6787 (twin 20mm cannon trials) of interest ? L6594 (performance trials and then 37mm COW cannon trials) and another extact from that thread " From Roy C Nesbit's book Coastal Command in Action 1939-1945 - caption (can't scan at present, with scanner buried under Blenheim books...perhaps later): "A gun pack beneath the fuselage of a Blenheim IVF was modified by Coastal Command in January 1941 to take two Hispano 20-mm cannons. However, the normal armament in the pack was four .303-in Browning machine-guns." It's not the regular gun pack housing a pair of 20mm Hispanos, it's custom built with cylindrical fairings for each individual Hispano. For those who are familiar with British archival photograph numbers, it's Ref: AIR 15/560. I can't tell from the angle if it's a Mk.IVf or a Mk.I (perhaps L6787).

Hi If i remember correctly the photo i saw years ago the 2 x 20mm fit was not in the nose it replaced the 4 x 303 gun pack cheers jerry
