    Box art

    daldroflas replied to Karlj72's topic in AFV WWII

    I can remember walking around Beatties in Spring Gardens in Manchester as a kid and being in total awe of the Tamiya and other exotic box art. I loved the classic Airfix 'Roy Cross' era box art too. But the big boxes in Beatties made me save up for a few of those kits.

    Thanks for the info guys. Might have to hope that comics and World of Tanks generate more interesting British tank kits. I'll e-mail IMA for more details of their Black Prince kit.

    The title says it all really! Are there any A43 Black Prince 1/35 tank kits or conversions? I thought I remembered seeing a resin kit at one time but nothing shows up when I Google. It looks interesting even though it was a dead end of development and a bit under powered by some accounts.

    Looks amazingly good. Especially the rigging which looks very realistic and expertly done. One of the coolest looking planes of WW1

    Fantastic looking result of a very interesting subject.

    Thanks for the information, I'll contact Bovington and see what they suggest. I am interested in them for personal use only. I have a book that contains the 'Cromwell 1' user manual and find it fascinating. Do you know if the originals are easily obtainable from military vehicle shows etc?

    British tank user manual sources? Does anyone know if there is a legal, public domain source for the official training manuals for WW2 tanks such as the Churchill, Comet etc? Cheers, Russ

    That really is superb!

    Very cool, love the weathering and paint chipping.

    Very cool looking MiG! Interesting story to read as well.

    Very neat and clever work Karl!

    The finish is sublime. Really beautifully done.

    Fantastic photos, many thanks for sharing.

    It probably wasn't, but around midday on Friday I was driving on the A590 near the M6 junction when I saw what looked to me like a Fulcrum flying towards lake Windermere. Whatever it was was flying at a few hundred feet in no particular hurry. I'd seen more than a few Hawks and Tucanos in the week we'd spent up there in the lake district and have seen Tornados and Typhoons on previous visits.

    That looks fantastic, beautiful painting and photography

    Stunning model and photography!

    I had been on the fence about buying this book, already having the first two volumes. This looks even more interesting, thanks for the excellent review. I've ordered it, can't wait for it to arrive.

    Thanks Stu, Antics online price looks to be on a par with FP.

    Forbidden Planet has a pre-order price (for later in May 2016) of £109.99 plus (I think) £7.50 P&P. Does anyone know of a better offer in the UK? (Hannants are out of stock at £129.99)
  22. daldroflas
    That looks spot on!
  23. daldroflas
    That looks wonderful! You have done an amazing job on what looks like a superb kit
  24. daldroflas
    Looking great so far. I really, actually NEED one of these!
  25. daldroflas
    You did well there mate! Even with the US Postal gouging you have a better deal. You'd think a bulk import would lead to much cheaper prices here. I'll see what happens when the next batch come out.
