The hopeful release of the ICM Hampden is indeed welcome news, however let’s not forget the the Blenheim was also very welcome news as well and that unfortunately took knocking the door of five years before we saw it 😱

Really sad to hear that the business is closing. Can fully understand the position and wish you both well. It is a great pity and are sadly missed as regardless of 30% more 'competition' , there are no others that I can think of that offer the diversity of the products and at competitive prices. As a predominately 1/43 modeller, there does not appear to be any others in UK offering produces Modelling Tools have stocked for so many years. All the best best for the future regardless 👍

Bought them a SMW 👍

I seem to remember from a while back that there is/was a small company resin casting 1/144 accessories particularly Firestreak and Redtop missiles. I'm working on an idea and could do with some RAF accessories and armament to move things along somewhat. Can anyone help?

Hello young man. Have sold you a few models in past. You must come along to our club night when things clear up. Have one member who has huge experience in 1/43 PM me for details

Is Bob still in business? Tried the website, but the domain is no longer being used.

Shaun, Have you still got wing fold jobbie for the Tornado. Will have a pair if you have please contact regards Chris

Until it hits the press, best to treat this with some scepticism

Many thanks for that Andre, Very useful and quite straight forward

Have been thinking about doing a reconnaissance MiG 25 for ages. I know the Revell takes much work, so that's out, but what about the Kitty Hawk kit is it a better prospect for hacking about? What I don't have access to information on the major airframe differences between the two variants other than the obvious nose forward of the canopy. There does not seem to be that much information available on internet. I there any bright spark out there that could shed some light on the subject ?

Anybody know where I might source the red dotted walkway decals as used on larger (twin engined) luftwaffe aircraft. Nearly finished a Dragon Focke Wulf Ta154 and need some replacements as the originals are poor (well crap actually) I seem to recall someone was producing some but can't recall exactly who. Anyone got any idea?

Oh bugger! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-30725366

ooo yeah bogger! cracking job

Try using Mr Color thinner 400. I have used it on two kits in recent weeks and it works fine. It very slightly attacks surface which makes a very good key for future paint. Only down side is that it is rather expensive. http://www.modeldesignconstruction.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/ModelDesignConstruction/_486492/1/Thinner

many thanks for all your help chaps very much appreciated

Thanks for that Jerry Never new that site existed

HELP Trying to do a timeline of all the companies that have produced a 1/32 P-51 over the years. Am I right in guessing that is what either Monogram or Hasagawa? But what year? In fact what are the years that every 1/32 P-51 regardless of model type, have been produced? Any ideas when re-issues were released? Help would be very much appreciated.

S2 Gulf War would be my choice as long as it 1/48 No point doing 1/72 I suppose as CMK have cracked that albeit at a price

Saw the name on the back of one of the sanding blocks. Or should I call them 'files' ?

Found this. Exactly the same a stocked by many model suppliers and lower cost http://www.salonsdirect.com/products/beauty/manicure/files/

Not sure if is exactly correct/true, but a little bird told me that the latest 'issues' are down to shedding blades. Whether they are compressor or turbine, I don't know.

Simon, I am ok for the pylons.... I think Can you PM me so that we may do the deal? Many thanks for the replies from everyone. regards Chris

I know it's an outside chance, but is there anyone out there that has any unwanted 1/32 Tamiya (or Dragon) P-51 paper tanks? I am in process of building the Zoukei Mura version, and it doesn't have any at all. Can anyone help?

Yeah..... of course there is. Just imagine scenario in MOD chinless wonder1 'whato chaps ..... hurr.hurr hurr. lets save some money..... any ideas?' chinless wonder2 'I know......hurr.hurr hurr..... lets bin Nimrod, Harrier, reduce EFA, bin eleventeen squadrons of what every we have left, oh nearly forgot, lets bin aircraft carriers if we can get away with it' chinless wonder 1 ' good idea Rupert hurr.hurr hurr' chinless wonder 2 'no problem Jeremy....... mines a pink gin hurr.hurr hurr'

I was being facetious. If the yanks or say Dutch had done it, it would have been a full art paint job. Look at the new Tucano, ooooo must have spent minutes on that job
