    Dave, please can I request that you don't purely reply on Facebook, there are some luddites here, including myself (whose more troglodyte than luddite) that don't use that format and I am always interested in supporting new ventures! Good luck with the venture

    Here is the current list of traders attending SMW2021 and I can see Key Publishing (Airfix Model World), Guideline (SAM) and Doolittle (MAI) but MA seem to be conspicuous by their absence!

    Following MA's taking over the reins of SAMI, it took be me 7 months to get the last two issues from my last subscription, constantly feeling I was being fed a bunch of lies, with no apology given or even what could possibly be construed as a genuine reason for the delays. I have refused to renew and also haven't purchased another copy, either online or off the shelf! I therefore have no interest in what their excuses are or will be but if they do turn up at SMW, I wonder how many back issues they will have on the stand?

    You can't beat Giles, I think I'm around 10 copies short of the complete collection! There's so much going on in the cartoon, beyond the joke itself, it's not just a case of reading the punchline! As for Grandma, her parrot was also a regularly hidden within the Giles house! Also a lover of the Andy Capp cartoons.

    Thanks James, I've already got that picture and think that the underwing serials are 48" but was hoping for clarification

    That's interesting, any idea of the sizes used and would the differences be specific to aircraft based on certain ships/bases? I've got a build stalled, as I'm trying to ascertain the sizes for WT987 during Suez . TIA

    Wonder if MA will have a stand at SMW this year

    Modelling taken to an incredible level... I know it's a model, I know it's a model, I know it's a model etc, etc, etc Every single switch, lever, instrument and knob, looks like it works, that seat looks like the pilot literally just climbed out! Think I'm about to cry

    No, no , no, that is one step too far...

    Hi All, I'm currently building a 1:48 Skyraider AEW.1 and wish to finish it as WV178 as operated during the Suez Crisis but am stuck with regard to the 36" markings. I've spent the evening cruising the internet but haven't had any luck and would like to ask if anyone can advise, if any company manufactures 1:48 RAF Post War 36" letter/number decals in white? Many thanks for any assistance offered, Tony C

    Thanks, just what I was after

    Quick question regarding propellers on Mk.I-Mk.V Merlin powered Spitfires. In the absence of photographic evidence, is there a way to find out which airframes' were fitted with a Rotol or a de Havilland propeller? TIA

    Can't think of anthing to say beyond

    Simply stunning, I wish I had a 10th of your skill and the cockpit interior could easily be taken for the real thing!

    It's almost a shame that the upper wings have to be fitted, as it will hide all the fuselage detail below! Oh, and to all those intending to compete in the next SMW modelling competition, I personally think we are looking at the Grand Champion!
  18. Tony C
    Thanks for the clarification, much appreciated! Tony C

    Quick question regarding Pre-orders, are you saying that no pre-orders will be accepted at all, or just for AMK Avantgarde range? If no pre-orders are to be accepted at all, what happens to those already placed? Many thanks Tony C
  20. Tony C
    All I can add is to say that I wish I had a tenth of your talent and skill! As an aside, I wonder how a Fury would have flown, without the upper wing in place, it just looks right!
  21. Tony C
    Haven't commented much but have been watching with great interest, so it's good to see your back to the grind stone and those guns look great Maybe that could be your next build, a 1:6 or greater range of machine guns? Anyway, carry on the good work...
  22. Tony C
    I would say that what you are seeing, is the leading edge of the armoured plate glass, with the screen framework removed, to allow the cowling covering the fuel/oil tanks, to be removed easily and quickly! But that's only a guess!

    Immediately followed by a second 'kiwidave4' Award
  24. Tony C
    That's worthy of a 'kiwidave4' Award
  25. Tony C
    Nope, that is, without doubt, the worst one yet...
