New Tool

I think that's called ' coffee table scale'. It just needs four legs!😎

This is great news, even if only a 'potential' release. It is on my wish-list. If ICM make it I will definitely buy it. 1/48 Hudson next please! .

This will be light years ahead of the old Origami version. ... Like turning over a new leaf. ... come to think of it, I think that old company folded. . .

Yes! 😄

That is one of the first books I ever bought. It was advertised in one of the main model magazines. I ordered it from a large bookshop in Birmingham, as it wasn't available in any shops; at a time when nobody ever ordered books in that way (the bookshop wanted the ISBN number, which completely baffled me). It took weeks to arrive ... weeks of impatient waiting and expectation. I still have it, and still find it inspiring. I am surprised to see that it was printed in 1975 which would be at the far end of my childhood modelling career, as I got a guitar less than a year later and my focus changed. I'm in Sweden now - though the book is still with me; retrieved years ago when my hobby interest re-awakened - hence my interest in the J22. I have a resin kit of it in my stash (Planet Models 1/48). Great modelling! Thanks for sharing.

Note to the manufacturer: It is spelled 'French'. It is correctly spelled on another part of the box.

If I buy it - and I probably will - it will be due to Roy Cross and nobody else. That old artwork of his has never left me. Wingspan 454 mm!! I love large scale aircraft, but why do they always have to be so big! 😟🤔🙄 .

I want them to do a burlesque one with a washing machine and a ferret.

Interesting... Interested.

... I have such a lot to tell him.

Want one.

That grates.

Is that two machine guns on the floor of the rear fuselage? Why?

That would work well for doll-housing. People make / construct various shops. There is a big market for them.

How closely related are the Battle and Fulmar? Similarities? Or am I just seeing superficial resemblance? ... ( i.e. so will the Trumpeter kits be similar ... and could some parts be interchanged if one kit's part suits better to the other).
