  1. JUST announced at Wonderfest in the states ...a classic kit returns
  2. Atlantis have done a lot more than are in the current catalogue Including that Adamski type
  3. Just think of them as those old "choose your own adventure " novels and mix and match between the series , the first movies , and the rebuilds, they kinda make more sense that way ...or at least connect to Anno /shinjis breakdowns and rebuild's Love them tho
  4. Nice one Meng I wonder if they will do some of the helijets and Nerv tech seeing as the are doing the support platform. It's a great series .much darker and way more adult that a lot of the giant robot shows ..... absolute terror feild on !
  5. There is an episode of secret service that ends with Father Unwin waking up from a nightmare and then inviting Matthew to go for a walk round Hampstead Heath with him ....! (Well it was the late 60s I guess) maybe it didn't have today's reputation back then ... Theres also a Bristol Britannia in one episode ...
  6. Good points .I chose the zero due to their recent kits being subjects Joe Public knows well even if they are well chosen variants to please we fanatics ...not sure there's a Zero variant that needs to be done as Tamiya did the Hamp. But generally I think their business model is Joe public recognition (with bigger sales ) with variant's to please us as well.
  7. Doh ....meant to say wildcat...senior moment ...it gets so confusing with the number of companies 😉
  8. Zero ....gotta be ...Spitfire Hurricane Mustang .....obvious choice
  9. Very nice so far ...I have one in the stash also
  10. The platz blog also has the Aires 1b up "My God it's full of parts" March release in Japan . Mobeius has reported on face book that the kits are produced just waiting on a chinese wharf for shipping ...
  11. Maybe they are just walking on their knees and the camera angle doesn't show it ?😉
  12. Wonder if they will sell the new sprues separately as an upgrade?
  13. The problem is ...do we know if the official length is a ground line length (plumb bobs dropped and measured to include the nose high tail down stance of the aircraft on its undercart ) or a centreline length (fuselage completely horizontal as if in flight ) most data doesn't state which measuring method was used and the "length" would differ between the two methods ... it's a minefield trying to determine what's right and what's wrong . I always try to compare to photos to see if the proportional ratios are right . Sword may have done this with the tailplane height to fuselage length ratio and either got it right or completely wrong .!
  14. Hmm mm how to scratchbuild TB2 in 72nd.......tempting very tempting. 😛
  15. I will be sacrificing a matchbox Victor asap ....long live the spirit of Derek Meddlings and Gerry Anderson !..... It would look nice in Spectrum markings ....or WASP .....or SHADAIR
  16. Yep it's a stunner ....and Soooo much better than the Apollo crawler used in the new film (tho I did like the harkonnen harvesters seen briefly at the start ... ( was quite dissapointed that it looks like the filmed at a nasa crawler by the looks of things
  17. I just want to know why all the launch bays are labelled with BIG signs saying stuff like "thunderbird 3 launch bay " do the Tracys suffer from short term memory loss ? Love it tho ....😉
  18. Didn't airfix announce one in the 80s?? If ever an aircraft kit was cursed it's this one (alongside the airfix nautillis)
