1/72 - Blackburn Buccaneer S.Mk.2 (new tool) by Airfix - 3D renders+schemes - release September 2019
dalea replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
While we are on the subject, could someone list the visible differences between the S1 and the S2? Aside from the intakes for which I already have the aftermarket? I'm sure it would be useful before the kit does appear. -

Didn't the Torrey Canyon win? -
1/72 - MiG-17F "Fresco-C" (new tool) by Airfix - 3D renders+schemes - release November 2019
dalea replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Fingers crossed it will be accurate. Airfix's previous excursions to Eastern Europe have been undewhetming. -
Airfix new tools for 2019, some like 'em, some don't
dalea replied to rob's topic in The Rumourmonger
Since Fly have announced some new Bristol 170's, rely on Airfix rereleasing theirs. -
1/72 - Douglas B-18B Bolo ASW by Special Hobby - released
dalea replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
OK, so how do I approximate "Oyster White"? -
Thanks Kari. Twas just an idle thought in an idle season

Since I note that the Museum Mk.IV now has a ShVAK cannon in mid-upper turret, I just thought I'd ask:- 1 What were the guns in the British-built, short nose, early Blenheims - Vickers K or Brownings? 2 What were the original guns in the Finnish built/assembled long nose Blenheims as built?
-
OK, what are the advantages of the RS kit?
-
Lifecolor did a boxed set, don't know if it is still available. A net search "Lifecolor Finnish Air Force " brings up the colour swatches

1/72 - Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer by Valom - box art - release in 2019

A very variable time of year -
1/72 - Fairey Delta FD.2 by Dora Wings - release in 2019 ?
dalea replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
It's OK, Dora. Just keep the Proctors and P-63s coming. Waiting for a Fairey FD-2 is soul strengthening. Have been doing it for years. -
Also remember the painted dummy turrets on e.g. Wellingtons intended to deceive the Luftwaffe from a distance. That looks like a black painted line to me on G-ADGY.

1/72 - Douglas B-18B Bolo ASW by Special Hobby - released

Wonder if the plastic will be white rather than their usual grey. -
Apologize for the misdirection
-
They're reboxed HiPlanes , if that conveys anything to you. The outline has always been regarded as accurate. From my own perspective, I would want an Aires (or similar) interior and replacement exhausts. Any Hiplanes kit of that era requires a Dremel tool (if you've got one) or loads of sand paper (and patience) Actually an Airfix kit is much easier.
