Good day all , Were Tupolev Tu-4's painted with aluminium lacquer overall or mostly unpainted metal ? Thanks , Art

I just feel a bit dirty.

Same situation here. I opened Britmodeller to find my self logged in to 2 other peoples accounts as I changed pages. I was able to log out of their account and into mine when I figured out what was going on.

Just my luck !

You've done a very fine job of updating that kit and made it look at least as sharp as the more recent Hasegawa kit . To my eye the Rufe always seemed much more aesthetically pleasing than the plain old zero, and has long been one of my favorites .

Well that de-confuses me somewhat then , guess I should have read the small print. How about a Snipe / Hannover CI dogfight double WNWs ? Oh er well.. Just goes to show how confused I am . Thanks for your feedback gentlemen .

Crikey !

I've none in my stash. Not really my scale ( he says ignoring the dozen or more 1/32 kits in his stash ). Not really my field of interest... well thats more lies as I got into WWI stuff a few years ago and now have substantial stash of 1/48 aircraft from that period. Expensive. But certainly not over priced from what I've seen of the quality. Just hard for me to justify when I could pick up as many as three second hand 1/48 Eduard kits on ebay for the same price as one WNW kit, probably all bought from people who were selling off their 1/48 stash to buy WNW kits. Couldn't make up my mind which one to buy. Eventually I thought I should pick up at least one simply as they appear to be some of the best quality kits ever manufactured. As WWI aircraft aren't my main thing I don't really have a strong preference for any particular aircraft with the exception of the Albatros DV, but I've already got a dozen of those in 1/48. I finally settled on the Hannover CI.II as it kind of has everything you could want in a WWI biplane. It then promptly sold out . So hopefully they will reissue it at some point. Officially they don't it seems.. ( I'm a bit confused about that ) but then again some such as the Junkers J.I have reappeared a few years after "selling out" so here's hoping.

Fabulous finish there, winter distemper finishes seem designed to make the modeler look incompetent but you've really aced it . I think that's the best I've seen.

Got my 28P a couple of months ago and I'm even contemplating getting another to do both of the fighter versions. I haven't been this chuffed to get my hands on a kit since I bought the Dynavector Wyvern 20 years ago. But now I'm really jonesing for the bomber and recon versions , this is one of those "Got to have every sub-variant" aircraft for me.

It might serve as a nice template for improving the CA kit actually. The shape of the wheel spats alone are a vast improvement over the CA effort.

This one really came out of the blue. It certainly looks like an improvement over the Classic Airframes issue of which I already have a stack in my stash. The He 51 is to me what the Me 109 is to many modelers - so many possible colour schemes. It won't take me long to talk my self into buying one or two of these.

It must be Christmas, first a Yak 28 now this !

What a fabulous surprise ! One of my all time favorites, although I thought my chances of ever seeing one of these produced were slim indeed. A glazed nose version would be especially welcome.
