[Valom Bristol brigands]

What's the RRP here anyone know?

Intrigued by the sprues - why two canopies, it's hard to tell if there are any differences?

[Percival Mew Gull]

I like.........I like it a lot.

but

if the Gull is 1/20 scale how big is that £1 coin?

[Andover Kits]

I may stand to be corrected but there are no C.1's in any scale. However, if you want a C.2 (ie a HS.748 wiv a serial not a registration) then you can have the stone age Airwaves offering in 1/72, or a Welsh Models offering in 1/144, both vac form. I have no idea as to availability.

PLEASE build the MPC one with the propellor and flowers..............PLEASEE!

[Flight 19 Avenger]

Ένα εξαιρετικό και ασυνήθιστο μοντέλο! Μπράβο.

Google says that means "An excellent and unusual model! Well done."

[1/32 Tamiya Spifire IX]

For reasons of space (plus the fact that for that price 'the other half' would want a trollyfull of food things fromTesco) sadly I won't be indulging. However, the pic at the beginning of the thread shows a Tr.9...............Surely not even Tamiya are that adventurous are they?

[1/32 Hawker Tempest Mk II from a Sea Fury]

this is going to be good...............

[Kitech of China]

So the concensus seems to be avoid!

Hiya Walrus

I remember mention of Zengdfu. Didn't they sort of borrow Fujimi woulds?

[Kitech of China]

Hello everyone.

Just idly thumbing through E-Bay looking for nothing in particular and I came across this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Kitech-1-48-Spitfire...id=p3286.c0.m14

When I scrolled down I found lots of other kits from various periods. There are ships, tanks and airliners too. You can click on each picture for a fuller description.

Are they originals, or are they 'inspired' by others? Has anyone bought one?

Apols in advance to the Mods if this is in the wrong place, but it didn't seem to fit in Chat?

[1\72 RAF Whirlwind HAR 10]

Now, someone needs to do some of these in 48th!

I think I saw one back in the 70's but on floats?

[Tristar / DC-10 (1/200)]

Very nice. As a military type even I'm tempted!

Slightly off topic - I'm sure that on the news the other day that there was a DC-10 firebomber

WHIH?

Does anyoneone do stickies for them?

[1\72 RAF Whirlwind HAR 10]

Lovely model and way beyond what I could do!

I am having to cheat here to find the 'fault'. Wickedpedia has this piccy for an 84 Sqn machine

Is it the filter on the front upper/port side nose?

If so - I would live with it.

Much respect.

['Raspberry Ripple' Tornado GR.Mk1 (T) - 1/72]

Ooer that's rather cool!

[1/100 scale ?]

Some of the Tamiya examples were reboxed by an oufit called BEN in the 1980's. I remember doing the Il-28 - nice kit. The only mod meeded was to eliminate the dihedral from the wingroot

[Delta Hunter what-if]

Huntray perhaps?

a) rather nice

try sitting in a dark room until the urge disappears

[Weathering experiments with Vegemite!]

Very interesting. Have you comparedit with Marmite?

[Canadair Sabres]

Thanks guys much appreciated.

[Canadair Sabres]

Thanks guys much appreciated.

[Canadair Sabres]

Help!

I need to get a quick build under my belt to get my enthusiasm for building fired up again. Nothing fancy, so I decided on the Hobbyboss F-86F-30 to be finished as a mk.4 in RAF service. Cheap, quick and readily available in Model Zone it will be an ideal bank holiday diversion. It will be in standard camo finish.

My question is this; what colour are the cockpit/ejection seat, wheel wells and the inside of the airbrakes?

I will pick an easy scheme as I will only be using my spare decal stash for markings. I think SAMI did a profile not long ago so will dig that out for inspiration.

The results will be posted for your inspection.

Thanks in anticipation!

[Eurofighter Typhoon in the nude]

Very unusual and cool!

[how on earth do you buy products off the revell website]

Jaz

Important things first - welcome to the nut house!

now then down to business; Modelzone in St. John's Precinct has piles of stuff, Revell, Airfix, Hobbyboss etc. BTW don't be tempted by the Pegasus Models' 1/48 Hurricane, ME262 etc because they charge about £16 whereas everywhere else they are £6 - 7..........

[RAF Sabres]

Just to complicate things even further, no one has mentioned the Hobbyboss kits. They do at least two boxings; one an F-30 with a wing fence that I assume is a hard wing and an F-40 with slats (6-3 wing?). Are these right? Also in general are they worth considering?

[STOVL Canberra]

NURSE.........unlock the spongy room

[Hudson Colours]

I assume that the USAAF version was contemporary to the RAF ship (a mk.III). If so it was built to a British order including paint specs so it SHOULD be dk. green/dk. earth/sky. I am assuming that the paints were made by Dupont? I have heard that there were some differences in hue. I would suppose that these are the same arguements as you would have for Flying Tiger P-40's?
