Brilliant work so far, that looks like a really nice set ; ) Colin

Looking forward to attending, in the manufacturers section (have not seen a plan yet). Have a couple of new sets to release. Colin

Hi Lucio, Apologies for not replying earlier, the contact function on my website is not working properly. Yes I can get, please email me at Freightdog(at)btopenworld.com and I will let you know shipping costs later this week. Thank you. Colin

A blast from the past, my Silver Cloud P.1083 Supersonic Hunter is available again, from the Freightdog website. Colin

In search of RAF Chinook experts! I noticed Heritage used to make a 1/48 set of 'Boeing Chinook Rotor blades RAF spec' , are these needed if building the current Italeri 1/48 kit issued last year (2779), or were the blades in the Italeri 1/48 kit retooled to represent RAF ones? I don't have the kit yet but the picture of the blades on scalemates and the plastic parts on the italeri website look very similar? I know the original Chinook release had different blades, just wondered if the Heritage ones were still necessary, even if just better than the kit one? Any guidance appreciated, thanks! Colin

After selling out at Telford on release I finally have more stock due next week, so the Lancaster ASR set is now listed on my website, price £17.50 plus postage. Colin

Hi Alain, Sorry for late reply, Yes we have a few left from Telford pre-production batch but these are without decals, so ideally for what-if Modellers, if you prefer to wait for one with the prototype decals these should hopefully be available in February. Colin

They also made 1/43 metal cars and small scale waterline boats (sold in the same white boxes), probably accounted for larger turnover. I've seen the cars going for a bit on ebay before. Colin

When I send items in my range to Hannants, I send them images to, if I don't they list the product without an image and its not as likely to sell, and get restocked when it sells out. So its in my interest to supply images, I would agree Spin Models probably supplied Hannants with the image, and they used it in good faith. Colin

Hi Mike, sorry for late reply. I don't have any current stockist in the US but I am more than happy to post items there. Postage charge for one SR.177 kit is £8.50. Colin

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
