The box might not fit through the door, never mind your letterbox!!

Hope you bring the finished model to one of the shows?

Mike

Looks as if he could drive it to one of the shows!

Of course these are only the must haves, there will no doubt be others purchased.

Orangehobby 1/700 HMS Hermes 1982 fit

Orangehobby 1/700 HMS Hermes 1968 fit

CyberHobby 1/700 Type 21 Frigate

OKB Grigov 1/700 HMS Churchill SSN

Airfix 1/350 HMS Daring Type 45

Frieghtdogs next 1/72 What-if project (whatever Colin has decided upon)

Freightdog 1/72 Wasp

Cyberhobby 1/72 Seaking HC4 Commando

A2Zee 1/72 Gannet AEW

And thats without seeing whats been scheduled for 2012 which we don't find out till Jan/Feb as there is bound to be something of interest.

One type i would like to see this year is a range of decent 1/72 F-35 kits, those announced by Hasegawa< Italeri and Cyberhobby a couple of years ago wee put on the back burner whilst the design matured, but as its getting there now, it would be nice to see some new kits appear (the Fujimi F-35B is more a snapfix kit and misses major features of the STOVL version such as the wing control jets and aux upper engine intake as opening parts whilst giving you an optional deflected down main engine !!! so it can only really be modelled in CTOL mode)

Revell 1/32 He219 Uhu.

Apparently it's on their website. I'll have to have at least one!

Bottom ! there goes my long term plan to attack a 1/32 vac and resin beastie then. Still better to know before first cut of plastic than last brush of paint

For me the Airfix FAA Lynx and RAF Merlin, plus the Fireflies, plus of course anything of interest that might be announced next year.

With best wishes to BMers for Christmas and happy modelling for next year.

Is this a premonition of its accuracy then? :) or did you mean Supermarine Scimitar?

Cheers

Jonners

PS dont forget the Tamiya 1/32nd scale Hawker Tempest due 3rd quarter 2012

Perhaps a shortened Supermarine Scimitar, same as what NA did to the Sabre to make a Fury(?).

My must have will be the 1/32 Gnat T1 when Revell get round to it!

Happy Airfixing to you all

Please don't sell me anything, I beg of of you. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have worked for. Do you understand? Do not open this door.

Except 1/48 Revell Ventura :blush:

since my stash is already big enough, my shopping list for 2012, all in 1:72

CMR DH Venom

Airfix Harrier GR.7/9

Maybe the Halifax, Swordfish, Jet Provost and Dolphin (both CMR), and maybe an Egg Plane

That's it...

Hi guys,

I'm really pinning my hopes on a 1/32 Trumpeter Bucc....

1/32 Cat sounds like an interesting subject to tackle.

Wishlist:

1/32 RN phantom

1/32 Gannet AEW as i can't be bothered to do the wings on my scratch build version, although having said that, watch this space for something i may pull out the bag when it returns from cast in about a month. If it work i may be able to make moulds and a possible kit to pass on. All early days but early results are looking up!

anyway i must finish my 1/24 FA2 before anything else.

Merry Christmas.

Nick

For me the Kinetic F-5A and the Airfix Lynx. Maybe Eduard will issue a 1st-generation MiG-21 (one can but hope), in which case I will snap it up.

PV-1 Ventura Revell 1/48

T-45 Goshawk 1/48

Lightning Airfix 1/48

AZ Spitfire XI 1/48

Not much else - time to reduce the stash

I'm also inclined towards the Ventura and perhaps the Goshawk. However, beware the A-Z Spitfire XI: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air...howtopic=122208
