Paul produced products of exceptional quality and more importantly, is a really nice and generous guy. I live in Santa Rosa where we lost 3000 structures to a gale-driven fire storm one night in 2017, followed by large fires and mass evacuations is 4 of the five following years. Paradise was sadly completely lost. Modelers here continue to wish Paul the best and CERTAINLY understand if he choses to close that chapter of his life-work. Grateful for the many Fisher Sea Fury and B-58 products that I have been able to obtain over the years.

My favorite scheme on the Buccaneer. Nice work.

This is the "bible" for the Fairey IIIF. Great book.

Thanks! Received their email and will be placing an order.

Europapete, I am not finding this offer on the Silver Wings site. Can you please provide a link?

Fantastic news, thanks!

Any insights on Czech bomber interiors? I am guessing that French bombers in Czech service would be pale blue gray?

I agree Alan. We are on the same page.

The aircraft in Oakland was owned by the Grant family and is indeed a Solent III. Kermit Weeks owned (owns?) a different aircraft. I live only an hour from the Oakland aircraft and once lived only 5 minutes from the museum.

I am DEFINITELY interested in a copy. Do you have a timeline and cost for the set? 1509 looks great on Jarrett’s book cover, but as on so many, will need to fabricate those complex exhaust pipes.

Thank you. Yes, our local hobby store paint selections have changed quite a bit in the last few years. The kit will be a modified S.79. Beautiful work on the Caproni.

Very nice work! What color was used for the "Cream" sides? I am about to start an Italian airliner of that period.

WOW! thanks for pointing out this mind-blowing build. Kudos to Tomasz, the artisan. Lone Star Models did (does?) an outstanding interior upgrade for the kit in resin. Sadly they are temporarily shut down. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/lone-star-models-lsm-30386-f4b-4-cockpit-set-hasegawa--1152292 https://lonestarmodels.com/

Wonderful image and topic. Thanks for sharing.

On May 6, the following appeared on the web site. "We would like to officially confirm that our 1/32 Gloster Gauntlet Mk II is available for purchase. All pre-orders will be shipped within the next two weeks. New orders can be placed via our website www.silverwings.pl or directly via e-mail [email protected]." Any update on shipping status?

Any updates on the shipping date? Web site said the end of March, but then of course so many items (and subcomponents) have been delayed these days.

Thanks for the replies. sounds like Siskin & Bulldog in NIVO. Others in black. I know that at least a few group leader FAA aircraft had upper decks in the squadron color, but some photos of III.F seem to show a lighter (NIVO?) color. Was there any experimentation?

I apologize for the NOOB question but have not been able to locate answer in searches here or RAF directives. With the exception of the Bristol Bulldog, was NIVO used for anti-glare on the upper decking of any other silver aircraft? I have seen photos of Fairey III.F and other single-engined aircraft that look more like NIVO than black.

I received mine this week and am likewise impressed. Does anyone have recommendations on the best means of polishing the plastic surface at the metal cowling to prepare it for gloss primer & polished aluminum finish? Do not want damage the nice detail there.

Great news! Their Demon is gorgeous! I rarely buy two of a kit, but it is just so nicely done.

Eduard makes two French seat harness sets. Any advise on which would be applicable to the Loire 130? Very different in color and form. https://www.eduard.com/eduard/seatbelts-france-wwii-1-48.html?cur=2&listtype=search&searchparam=seatbelt france https://www.eduard.com/eduard/seatbelts-france-wwii-steel-1-48-1.html?cur=2&listtype=search&searchparam=seatbelt france

Downloaded the manuals today. Agree with Pete M. Just keep doing what you are doing.

Wish that I could vote for more than one. Baffin, Seal and Sea Fox would get my votes.
