  1. changes by Revell? I would not expect any apart from decals and boxart and box... For the re-box a correct RBT nose is on demand. Same for the Ju 88 A-4 cowlings !
  2. What we really need is a clompletely MiG 23/27 series by AMK, Kitty Hawk, GWH, Zvezda, ICM or whatever.
  3. Safe the money and take the M/MF kit ! BUT a lot of work will come up. As mentioned before in this thread the BN has a different burner can (wrong in the BN kit !). The nose wheels have a bigger Diameter and different mud gards and different nose gear flaps (all of this also wrong in the BN kit). Then the rear fuselage weapon station (not sure about the BN kit). This is a simple thing to do. I am not quite sure about which version of ventral fins was on export BNs... There are quite some improvement sets around which should be used - a costy enterprise. Here you will find some nice shots from the Gatow Museum which are most helpful: http://www.bredow-web.de/ Grüße aus Charlottengrad be
  4. After a telcall with the German distributor from yesterday he recommended the "Chrystal" version which has no colour/smell ingredients . The fluid is water based, has a very small potion of alcohol (isopropanal) and consists mainly of tensides which have an emulsifying effect and will not harm the acrylic bounding carrier, will aviod agglomeration of the pigments and will not harm the carrier fluid (acetone/ammoniac).
  5. Currentlly discussed in Germany: http://www.simplegreen.co.uk/ Can be used as thinner in acetone based AND in ammoniac based acrylics. HTH Andreas Beck
  6. Same procedure than last year, Miss Sophie ? Freddie Frinton asked (see YouTube : Dinner for One) The Nuremberg 32nd P-51 and the Beau are just Show Mock-Ups. The new kits are still in the virtual phase. Steel will be cut during spring and the first plastic will see daylight mid/late spring, earliest. So we have some time to lay back and use the time for glueing, sanding and painting... Greetings from Charlottengrad be
  7. and 299 HKD for shipping, that´s roughly € 36.- !
  8. The 1/48 re-release of the ICM Ju 88 with new tooled engines (supercharger and grills): http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Flugzeuge/Wiegmann/Rev_Ju88A-4_48/Rev_Ju88_A-4.html
  9. The Nuremberg Toy Fair will start tomorrrow. Just one hint for the Ju 88 afficinados: The 1/48 ICM re-release of the ICM A-4 by Revell will incorporate some substantial improvements.
  10. Not easy to judge from the rendering but seemingly ZM got the fuselage cross section and the wash out of the wings correct - other than some not so old 48th and 72nd products.
  11. There are offers on ebay.de below € 50.-, dukmodell is @ € 56 (-).
  12. F-4E 1/48 for 2018 ????....It is designed....
  13. https://www.facebook.com/avantgardemodelkits/ GREAT things are going to happen!!!!! - Miracles sometimes take some longer time....
  14. As far as I remember the ADV F.3 Tornado will comprise all major differences as the longer tailplane & cone, differences on the vetical tailplane, elevators, chaff flare dispensers under the engines, wing gloves, dorsal fuselage tunnel with upper intake deckings, two monitors for the rear seat & the plumbing between the seats, front fuselage & nose, lower fuselage and a bit of bang-stuff hanging on the outside. Please do not beat me if I have left out something . HTH be
  15. As said just two postings above: IT IS THE SINGLE SEATER
  16. It is not a typo. It is a "D" Yes it is a little bit of disappointment. The decision was taken because of market prospects and not from the point of modellers` desires. The good thing about this: the design is in the same gifted and splendid hand and spirit as the new Me 262...
  17. This will be a reissue of the AccMin single seater. This variant has not been labeled by other companies since ist original release, if I remember correctly.
  18. oops, a sort of missunderstanding, my fault, sorry
  19. Comment on the sprues from above (from top to bottom): 1. completely new 2 left.identical with F-4 kit 2 right..identical with F-4 kit (early landing gear legs!) 3.identical with F-4 kit 4.identical with F-4 kit 5.completely new ( late landing gear legs !) 6. clear parts completely new Seemingly, also a G-2/4 can be made from this kit Question: Are the cooling scoops for the sparks broken through ? Do we have an appr. release date ? Will we see better Quality decals ) Looking forward to this one ! Cheers Andreas Beck
  20. Please, Airfix, do not forget the Qarter-Scalers.....
  21. up to now the best pricing € 37,95 w/o p+p @ www.dukmodell.com be
  22. No question, Tam`s Mossie is a superb kit, also the HK one. My thought was that a so called main stream kit of a medium sized twin engine plane in 32nd scale should not be above 50.00 to 65.00 in GPD or Euros. I forgot: Venom/Sea Venom - 48,32 EE Lightning - 32
