Colin @ Freightdog Models

If anyone wants the later set without the decals I'm happy to sell it that way, just have not got around to updating the website. Colin

Is that in 1/72 or 1/48? Both would be great.

Hi Thommo, Price on the Twin Pioneer is £45.00 plus postage, pm me your email and I will put you in touch with Dave Little of Combat Kits and he can arrange for you. Colin

Hi Jeff, I think can speak for Dave from Combat Kits as he is not on the forum. There will probably be three versions, Nene, airline and military transport. Decals are not included in this set (as its just roundels and codes that can easily be found) but the other versions will have decals, or Combat may do a stand alone Lancastrian sheet will follow that will apply to all three versions. It really depends how well the Nene set sells. Its as great conversion, researched and mastered by Paul Lucas, same as my ASR.III set. Colin

The Curse of the Wasp strikes again.....Air-Graphics and Kiwi Models don't have one either.

From what Mel told me a while back its just panel line changes, no change to wing shape but I might be wrong. Colin

Hi Dimiter, Welcome to BM, that is one of the best built Matchbox Meteors I've seen. The re-scribing really makes a difference, and you have managed to hide all the bad joints which is something I haven't achieved! That kit brings back happy memories for me to. Colin

Don't worry, Magna haven't gone! Dave Little of Combat Kits bought all the masters last year, he is slowing working to re-release them with re-worked masters and MUCH better casting (commercially done, not in a shed, no disrespect to those who cast in sheds!). The Twin Pin is the first to get the treatment, a very small sample batch were available at Telford last year, only a dozen without decals as that was how many clear resin canopies were cast up in time, no more vacform). Decals are still in progress so expect the production kit to go on sale by next Telford, along with the single engine Pioneer. Sorry to hijack the thread, the Jetstream looks a lot better than I though it would from the rough castings, great work. Colin

My pleasure John, I'm getting the first batch tomorrow to have some on sale at Coventry show on Sunday, then will start posting out orders on Monday hopefully. Colin

Freightdog tip tanks are on my website now. Tanks are based on the drawings earlier in this thread, so credit is due to John/Canberra kid, pm me your address John and I'll send you some free samples, thanks! Colin

This is Academy plastic parts, according to Christopher Brown at HPM Hobbies, Singapore. Colin

Thanks for promoting for me. Colin

Facebook post doesn't seem to mention a scale (if indeed its for a kit), only someone hoping for 1/48 kit? More likely in 1/72 maybe? Scrub that, just noticed '48' in one of the posts.... Colin

Hi Jan, Proportions of roundels not quite right (blue is thicker) and underwing serials are not in correct position. I will send you separate email. Colin
