  1. A Wallace as well as a Wapiti would be awesome! I had a chat with John at Telford and he mentioned also the possibility of a Hart based on his Demon sometime, which would be icing on the cake.
  2. It was an honest question; the sarcasm wasn't necessary.
  3. Jennings - that's a really useful diagram - presumably the wingtip lights would have been removed?
  4. It seems to be a bit perverse of Revell not to release a specific RAF version in UK!
  5. Great models. Are those the Special Hobby 15 and the Airfix 17?
  6. I suppose I'm now going to have to dump the Tamiya Vbs in the stash!
  7. Or use Bricklink: www.bricklink.com/ But I agree - it's a fantastic piece of work!
  8. You're not the only one - a 1:48 Wapiti would be brilliant!
  9. I see that Kinetic have a 1:48 scale Sea Harrier FA.2 listed in their future releases, so as soon as you start your GR.3 they will probably announce a new Harrier GR.3 as well!
  10. Maybe the manufacturers don't think that maritime reconnaissance aircraft are 'cool'? I remember building the Frog Shackleton as a schoolboy and I thought that it was a great kit!
  11. No Highway - great story (plus those ridiculous twin-tailplanes!) Flight of the Phoenix - first version, NOT the recent re-make.
  12. I'll stick with the Tempest V, Alleycat rear fuselage and MDC conversion that I already have!
  13. Revell re-issued the ICM Spitfire XVI a while back, which presumably supports the supposition that the Mustang III is also the ICM moulds?
  14. Thanks guys, that is what I needed to know. (Although presumably an Acquisition round is for training purposes?) Martin
  15. I am starting one of my Airfix 1:48 Lightnings, to be finished as the iconic XR749 when she served with the Lightning Training Flight. I am guessing that the LTF carried the Red Top training rounds, rather than the active missile? If I modify the kit parts by removing the front fins and painting the missile light gray, will this be all that I need to do? Would the training round have had the standard infra-red seeker head? Martin
  16. I picked up the Mk.2 conversion at SMW - it looks very good. The only problem was deciding which one to do!
  17. I don't build 1:24 scale, but I thought that the Typhoon at SMW looked absolutely brilliant! Even though it's not my scale, I think that it might be a good move for Airfix to produce 1:24 aircraft, as most other manufacturers are concentrating on 1:32 at the moment and so it gives the hobby another scale to work in. Martin
  18. Hi John Any conversions to make any member of the Hart family will be more than welcome whenever you can get around to doing them! TIA Martin
  19. If you are going to have Meteor NF and Vampire NF, then you need the Venom NF as well.
