    Sorry to add to the length of this post but can anybody tell me what is happening to the distribution of this kit? Out of stock at the usual suspects, has never arrived in Oz or Japan, Yes I know they are made in India, Covid, Brexit etc but they appear to be rarities before they have even started.

    Now for the rest of the Republican air force

    New tailplanes are provided on the sprue with the Merlin cowlings

    I'd advise patience. I suspect further SHU-16B releases with further decal changes. Still no standard ASR ones.

    Thanks to all who responded. I have the 26 decals sheet, so it's the red and blue one for me. Thanks Dave for reminding me of the Queen's Flight issue of SAM which I will have to dig out. Waiting on the Valom Flamingo.

    Any suggestions for appropriate paints for this aircraft?

    UM (Unimodels) did a dedicated boxing in 1/72 which is still available

    Since the topic of the Brewster Buffalo in the 'Far East' has raised its head again, the Hobby 2000 re-boxing of the Hasegawa kit includes a part E1 which is supposed to represent an additional plate of armour attached to the pilot's seat. I'm unconvinced that it should be there for the Dutch version, the well-photographed B-3100. The other choices, by the way. are AX815 and AX820 both FAA Western Desert. I personally think it's a left over from the Hasegawa Finnish version but I wouldn't know. Does someone else know?

    Thanks for the heads up. Ordered mine

    FS14081 is apparently known also as Pullman Green. I seem to recall a Floquil Railway colour of that name.

    I was quite taken last year to see the then POTUS boarding a Marine Sea King. So, what sort of Green was it? FS34087, (now fs34088} or Helo Drab or something else. (Yes, it's been polished so it should begin with a 1---) While we are on the topic is the white White or Insignia White

    You can see the markings choices on the HLJ website

    Have started mine just to see

    The mmp book is apparently unobtainable here so I can't check that myself. Since the first 2 were ex-civil that figures (thanks, Geoffrey). Since Special Hobby only gives decals for G-AGIH, it's either benches or nothing. Easy choice.

    Did the B.O.A.C. registered Lodestars on the run to Stockholm have forward facing seats or sideways facing benches?

    Thank you, Giampiero. Question resolved.

    Perusing the instructions on my Sword Re 2002 I was struck by the yellow tips on the propeller. On going through the Wiki images I'll go along with this but the early 1940 vintage images of e.g Fiat G 50 do not show these. I don't think it is an individual manufacturer's foible so the question is - is there a timeline? When did the changeover from a practice similar to the U,S. to one more like that of the U,K. take place? It seems to be evident before the 1943 surrender.

    No cameras. I assume they are in the box.

    Liberator appears popular

    Pink and blue bunnies for me!

    Shouldn't there be a cowling machine gun on the TBF-1? Can't see one.
  22. dalea
    Would prefer an affordable one.

    Both the HiPlanes (sized for Airfix in the blurb) and the AML one are certainly smaller in span
  24. dalea
    Yes, thank you. Was aware of the port inner.
  25. dalea
    Is there any noticeable difference between the engine nacelles of these 2 marks? Thinking of tinkering with the Airfix MK. III. Got lots of aftermarket for the Italeri Mk. I.
