The Tibetans only operated the Interceptor version, which as I recall was a development of the Scruggs groundgripper.

Were I a betting "person" I'd have gone for the Corsair before this teaser, If the lightning is any clue then P47. However a 1/24 Hawker Fury would have me camping out at Margate!

Airfix 1/48 Meteor FR9 A09188 question on parts
Avro730 replied to Avro730's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Many thanks Phantom 726 -
Hi - can anyone tell me if the kit contains the standard "Fighter" nose cone as well as the PR nose? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

I managed to get 2 E Boats in the last year, the first at €25 and the second with a Vosper, both mint, for €28 the pair , note euros as I’m in France so effectively £20 and £23.40 so I’m still happy and even happier that the rescue boat can now complete the line up.

Help needed, Revell 1/144 HMCS Snowberry - dimensions
Avro730 replied to Avro730's topic in Maritime WWII
Many thanks jeff.M -
Hello All , Does anyone have a built HMCS Snowberry in 1/144. I have been asked to build one and mount in a display case. Whilst I await arrival of the kit I would like to start the case. What I need is the distance from the keel to the top of the highest mast in mm if anyone can oblige, absolute accuracy not essential as I will add a bit to the height anyway for aesthetic purposes. Appreciate any help on offer. Thanks in advance.

1/48th - Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A by Airfix - Q1 2025
Avro730 replied to At Sea's topic in The Rumourmonger
Well I did , and its not a happy story, yes its basic by todays standards but thats not the issue, ( recently finished the Pyro Bulldog and guess what was announced just after I started it!) Anyway the Jag is in the "hold" for now and I've got on with another important aeroplane to me in real life, the Revell edition of the Hasegawa Learjet 35 which is very good and tallys up with my recolections of the real thing. For some reason I had three sets of flaps/slats for the Jag which was just as well as I could only make one complete set out of the three, now fitted. I will, for the benifit of the greater modelling public, return to the jag but just need a break from it for now, consider it R&R. -

1/48th - Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A by Airfix - Q1 2025
Avro730 replied to At Sea's topic in The Rumourmonger
So as we all know when "one" starts an old or flawed kit ( and im not sayning the old Jaguar was flawed, but it is old) I have pulled this out of the stash. And just add this and as we all know the result will be this... Just ask for it on the stand at Telford.- 837 replies

Avro730 replied to TonyW's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Apologies to TonyW for jumping on his post but it seems that this would be the place to get an answer to this question Hello all. Hoping someone here can help. I’m working on a project for another forum that I’m on featuring classic Airfix. I’m trying to find a photo of the Airfix displays usually seen in Woolworths in the 1960’s with assembled models displayed above the sales counter. The photo I have isn’t clear enough for my needs. If anyone has a lead or pointers as to where I might find one prefably in colour please let me know. Thanks in advance. -
As some years have now passed, perhaps there is a conversion set available? or failing that anyone done a scratch conversion or a list of the differences?
