    Really nicely done, Rob. Have a bit of a family connection with the flower-class: my great uncle was one of 53 who lost their lives when the Japanese bombed HMS Hollyhock off the coast of Sri Lanka.

    Well this is rather nice! Credit: Jamie Ewan
  3. AstroCanary
    Stunning.

    Yeah that was what I thought most likely, too, with a Hurricane I a close second. I read a little too much into the comments made about it needing a companion - assumed it would be contemporary to the Spitfire Mk I and then those two are the obvious candidates. I'm not as keen on Lufty stuff but I will probably get it because it's Kotare + I'm increasingly becoming interested in 1/32 scale stuff. I'm sure it will look great!
  5. AstroCanary
    Yeah they've confirmed on book of face that this is indeed a new tool.
  6. AstroCanary
    Well if you want to be a pedant about it, then yes; but when we still have the previous release available I suspect it will be of limited interested for many. I was clearly living in la-la land but I was hoping for a new tooling for one of Jaguar, Tonka, EE Lightning or FGR2 🤪 edit to add: am actually pleased with this release, mind. Not my favourite era but this is the pick of the bunch.

    Well let's hope, because for anyone primarily interested in 1:48 Cold War stuff there is nothing!
  8. AstroCanary
    The only thing of interest in what is an underwhelming announcement for me personally.
  9. AstroCanary
    A Spey Phantom would be nice, but a Tonka and/or Jag would be nicerer!
  10. AstroCanary
    Nicely done! This is the way.
  11. AstroCanary
    I hope I don't offend any of the 1/48 haters, but I have a good feeling it's gonna be another 1/48 kit! Seriously: whatever the scale, this has to be good news.

    This is going to cost me a fortune in aftermarket stuff as I will want to do this beautiful thing justice! Need to hone my skills on some smaller/cheaper models before making a start, though.

    Definitely interested in a B as long as, unlike so many model F-35s, it is not ribbed for her pleasure in an attempt to recreate the RAM!
  14. AstroCanary
    This could tempt me into doing some Lufty stuff! Nicely done.
  15. AstroCanary
    Awesome job on both your Buccs! I might have to add a second kit to my stash now...
  16. AstroCanary
    How much I'd love a regular injection kit of this stunningly beautiful aircraft at 1:48...
  17. AstroCanary
    Wow! Absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing.
  18. AstroCanary
    Thank you both so much! Really appreciated.

    Evening all. I've been looking at a number of Interwar aircraft including the Stearman, Gloster Gladiator and Tiger Moth, and I wondered if the Silver Wings examples are worth the extra money compared to the ICM releases? To my untrained eye there doesn't seem to be a lot of difference (looking at images, at least) and so I'm leaning towards ICM, but I wondered if anyone on here is able to confirm or otherwise that is the case? Many thanks!

    Today, I have gone onto Amazon and I've ordered a chicken and an egg. I'll let you know. PS morning all!

    Lovely build, Andy. I intend to get this kit and before this thread I have to confess I was struggling with the idea of doing a Stearman in anything other than a yellow and blue scheme - that's just what I associate them with, I guess. But now I've seen your beautiful build I suspect I might be tempted to do something similar to you!
  22. AstroCanary
    Thanks, Giorgio. I really appreciate you taking the time to give such a comprehensive reply - it's really helpful. Funnily enough I was just looking at what was on offer on Hannants and came to the conclusion that it is mostly Xtradecals that do the stuff I am interested in, so I guess that is probably where I will start.

    Decal Brands.

    AstroCanary posted a topic in Decals

    Hi all. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to aftermarket decals and, soon to dip my toe in, wondered if there are any brands that I should avoid or focus on? I'm particularly interested in 1:48 British aircraft in case that has any bearing on brand choice. Thanks in advance!
  24. AstroCanary
    Really excited about this!
  25. AstroCanary
    Nicely done. I'm tempted by one of these now!
