Well, the original manufacturer passed away a couple of years ago, so you need to look for similar alternatives like above.

Not to come across as disrespectful, but I hope someone has taken over the website or it's contents.

P-series... There's the Ar-555 again. Going to upset some 2nd hand sellers...

Also available for less than 10€ in it's Trumpeter/MasterTools guise.. ...which probably gives an indication how much use it actually is. Problem with these is that the wheel is pretty large so you can't get into tighter spaces, and the holder & axle is plastic and tends to wear out which causes the wheel to wobble around. That said: If you're very careful & precise, and use a bit of Dymo tape (the letter punch tool type) you can get usable results. To ensure the glue from the dymo doesn't tear off primer or damage the plastic, you could put it over a bit of masking tape. The best rivet tools were Rosie the Riveter, now in a similar guise from Beizzi (but I think there are similar ones out there). These have a much smaller and harder steel wheel and are far superior in build quality. Of course, that comes with a price tag - they tend to be 30+€.

Why, yes, of course. Can't show any trace of contentness or glee, there must be moaning and griping!

Instead of an MBA, they could have done better taking a French culinary course. They seem to understand you need to boil a frog slowly.

8190. Looks like about half are already in the distributors' or customer's hands.

Welcome to the Internet. Hey. at least it isn't classified documents concerning a weapons system.

I think it's more likely to be crappy peering from your ISP towards Microsoft's CDN networks - as is apparent from using the same internet connection to tunnel to an exit point outside the ISP's network. But hey, if it works, it works.

If it's anything like the Dagger, then it is a very nice kit to build. Decals are fine, and it has the missile bay & racks.

Can't accuse me of being a green hippie I drive an Alfa 159SW with similar crap mileage. Hence the question where those more economical engines went - I wouldn't mind a 5L/100K mileage like I had with a lease Golf V 1.6. Just glad I can work from home on a regular basis, filling a 70L fuel tank every week is not good for the modelling budget.

Mid-90s to early 2000s Lupo 3L I meant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Lupo#Lupo_3L

anyone remember those '3L' engines with 20+ km/liter efficiency? Where did those go? We're still stuck on average 12-15km/l .

Nice. Phil Flory did the Trumpy one, it's a big ole lump indeed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46Zf2DnswcM

and the moon is made of cheese.

I'd suggest International Orange FS12197...

The other 50% is a market slice you'd still want to accommodate.

@TISO some of your last links are broken, I think the copy/paste went haywire.

I presume you're aware of these? https://barracudacals.com/collections/frontpage/products/br72507-raf-small-bomb-containers-30-pound-bombs-1-72

Timely companion release that has some nice pics of early DB-7s https://www.aviationmegastore.com/en/books/douglas-boston--havoc-in-raf-service-north-west-europe-wingleader-9781908757418-199835.html They've held up pretty well actually, considering it's a 2007 designed tooling. It has been updated with extra parts over the years but there's very little difference in quality between a 2011 (turbinlite) release and the 2020 DB-7C or 2023 A-20G release.

Bunch of Mr.Color Aqueous greys from the 300 series. Received a bunch of AirGraphics resiny bits - ALQ-131, Pave Knife, Dutch F-16 Terma pylons, and travel pods.

Depends. How many ads are running on the site? Clickfarm..

Planning? What's that? I plan to build a few models in 2024, that's as far as planning goes. I'll take it however it goes with a day job and parttime university degree studies to deal with.

These two are in clear conflict. Best resolved by providing that data.

Ok, if it comes with reverse-action throttles I'm in.
