The Hooded Claw

That sounds like the original release like I had about 20 years ago. Is the body in clear 'dental' type resin? THC

Cos they said so in that dodgy almost reggae song. THC

I spend many an happy hour in that viewing area as its ten mins walk from the pub and fifteen from my Dad's new house. There was a Canadian Herc in a few weeks ago, I'm not sure where the photo went, I'll try remember to dig it out and post it up. THC

Ian, I believe I may have an unused pack of SNJ replete with powder in a drawer at home. Want it? Ian

Try the Hiroboy Zero paints, That's what I used for the review in Airfix MAgazine. Fab stuff! THC

That powder chrome stuff from Japan. Ginseng summat or other! THC

Eyup big fella, I don't recall Italeri doing a Ju88, they did do a 188. The 88 was originally an AMT tooling IIRC. THC

Why I'm pleased to have been of service to you young sir. Just remember not to overheat the plastic or you end up with some very funnilly shaped bits. THC

A lot of the pricing changes relates to the fact that ten years ago it was 1.5 euro to the pound. Now we are about at Parity. Also home taxes on kits (luxury items) is high and that carries accross the EU. Its all in the financial system. THC

Oooh that's a blast from the past! Always loved Huma's stuff! THC

My process for any decals has changed greatly over the last few months and I'm now getting good results consistently. I have dispensed with decal solutions and replaced them with a hairdryer, hot water and a stiff brush. Float the decal into place on the water as usual. then blot away excess fluid with a lint free cloth. Then using the hairdryer warm up the decal. Beware too much heat will melt the plastic so take your time/care. The decal will partially melt making it easier to conform to the underlying detail. The process is a little slower than solvents and needs a degree of care but the end results are superb! THC

Think you'll find that most if not all of what they advertise is Diecast. Come accross them before. THC

Surely it's the Intercontinental Ballistic Guide NAAFI! THC
