Never built a Blue Max kit before, I've been on the hunt for them at swap 'n shops but have only found this Camel kit. The Eduard Camel kit in my stash looks soooo much easier to build than this one. But...this one has the option to build a ship's Camel. I really like the box art, and the bits are plentiful. Here are the instructions 😅. I'm no expert on Sopwith Camels so I'll rely heavily on my windsock datafile and its masterpiece cutaway drawing.. Gotta be on my toes with this one. The instructions name the parts to use for each version, but they call out the grey fuselage for the ship's model when the white fuselage clearly has the breakaway details. 🤪 And instead of individual struts you get a length of teardrop-section plastic.

Hi everyone, Freightdog Models will have some nice new items on sale at Telford, this year our stand has moved but we are still in Hall 1, now opposite LSA Models on the end of isle 1H. This marks our first show as UK stockist for High Planes Models of Singapore. Stocks of Finger, Dagger and Nesher kits are already available, and for the show we have a very limited exclusive Plus Pack boxing combining the Finger kit with resin parts and FCM decals to produce a Brazilian Mirage IIIEBR F-103E. I also have some HPM short run kits and resin sets on the way (including a few Avon Sabre’s in 1/48 and 1/72). New decal sheets are ‘Keeping the Peace Pt.II’ in the Freightdog range in 1/72 including Spitfires, Mustang IV’s and a Corsair, and I are launching a new Blue Max decal range. The first sheet in 1/48 covers the F.2B Bristol Fighter in RAF service around the British Empire with five colourful options. Some conversion work is required to either the Eduard or Roden kits to produce a Mk.II, but nothing too taxing. In my resin range I have re-issued the EAP and Avro 720 multi-media kits, and have a new What-If conversion for the Blackburn Buccaneer P.139/2 AEW platform. Other resin items that are ready include X-4 missiles for the new Airfix FW-190, Harrier GR.3 corrected fin and TERMA pod for Tornado GR.4, all in 1/72. For 1/48 I have three Hurricane sets, a Mk.IV conversion, drop tanks and an improved spinner, all based on the new Italeri kit. Lastly I am announcing another new range at the show, this time a collaboration under the name of Guerrilla Models, please come over to the stand and see what coming is from Guerrilla in 2014. That’s about it for now, just got to work out how to fit it all in the car. Thank you! Colin
