  1. Not read the whole thread and I imagine that it has already been said - but I think a lot of it is down to poor social media app grammar and spell checkers. I quite often find them putting in spurious apostrophes and resist my attempts to correct the mistake.
  2. Right I appreciate that English may not be your first language, but I think I made myself clear from the start. I have only expressed interest in the AZ Models version. Then you said that the AZ is the Valom kit with retooled transparencies. I said that I was aware of that which was why I was waiting for the AZ Models re-release. You then said that the AZ Models has had retooled transparencies since its first release in 2016 - but that is pretty moot because you can’t find any of those on the market. Which is why I am waiting for the re-release. The Valom kit is of no interest to me because of the ill-fitting transparencies. Any way, simply put, I am eagerly awaiting the AZ re-issue.
  3. Thank you, which is exactly why I am interestedin the AZ Model reissue and not in the slightest interested in the Valom kits.
  4. This is getting circular - I don’t understand what you are saying either. My understand is that Valom and AZ Models are two different companies - maybe that it my misunderstanding. I think there are AZ Model kits that have always had corrected transparencies and there are Valom kits that don’t have corrected transparencies - have I got that wrong?
  5. Are you talking about the Valom or AZ models? I know that AZ already has re-tooled transparencies but the model is very difficult to find. I didn’t think there had been any update to the Valom models, they are pretty easy to find but I assume that would be with transparencies that don’t fit.
  6. I’m aware of that - but it is more than that. It is just a matter that they fix inaccuracies, it is more a case that the Valom transparencies are too big and don’t fit. That is enough to stop me buying the Valom kit - I know that many will say that there are after-market parts but I’m not interested in splashing out on a kit knowing that I have to buy after-market just to make the kit fit together. I’m quite surprised that Valom haven’t made any moves to update their kits with corrected transparencies.
  7. Took me a little while to get this. So I guess what you are saying is that when Airfix drop their Hampden later this year the AZ Hampden might appear around about the same time?
  8. Is there a rough schedule for the 2024 releases. Can I expect the Hampden in Q1, Q2, Q3 or Q4? Cheers, Nigel

    Paint from Jadlam

    I use Jadlam fairly often but you do need to check prices elsewhere. Clearances and offers aside, I generally find Jadlam prices a little higher than elsewhere. They are clearly including an element of P&P in the prices. This is no bad thing, and is fine when buying one item but you need to check when buying multiple items, that the accumulated built-in P&P has not made the total order dearer than you can get elsewhere.
  10. This place suggests that they have some - never used them before but there ‘about’ has a UK address and telephone number so you could check that they actually have it. https://www.models2u.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p8448_micro-kristal-klear.html?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi_HEt6m9hAMVsJFQBh3yAQflEAQYASABEgLOsvD_BwE
  11. The scale is better known as 28mm, it is a common wargaming scale.
  12. Rubicon kits have great detail given that they are primarily aimed at table top gaming. I really like them.
  13. That’s put me off too. Actually having it as an add-on somehow makes it worse. At least if there wasn’t an engine at all I might have respected that decision, but that they have an engine but don’t include seems a bit petty.
