jenko Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Latest of the bench is the Airfix B2 in 1/48. In the markings of 149 Squadron, Germany, 1956. I picked this kit up for £2 at a Hornby sale.....bargain or what?? Markings are from a Xtra decal sheet. Totally out of the box. Hope you like. Please feel free to comment. Thanks for looking.

jenko Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Hi Steve, Tamiya flat aluminium ....... the finish is meant to be high speed silver, with Humbrol matt cote on top.

tonyot Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) That`s a real corker Dick,.....a total bargain (£2,....WOW!) and wearing the same markings that I want to put on mine too,.......you are a man of good taste,.....or do you just like the little mushroom clouds on the nose (like me!)? Mind you I`ve always had an interest in 125 Wing in Germany. Great Stuff, Cheers Tony Edited November 15, 2015 by tonyot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Sea Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 £2 is not enough to cover the value of the plastic! Huge model, done justice entirely. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenko Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Firstly, many. many thanks for your kind comments. As to the "high" cost of this model ....Hornby have warehouse sales several times of the year. You have to buy what you find...... I managed to pick up a Typhoon for £40 .......only the one . Tony Ot........ when it comes to aircraft subjects I think we are blood brothers .... I bet our respective stashes are nearly a mirror image Dick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Tony Ot........ when it comes to aircraft subjects I think we are blood brothers .... I bet our respective stashes are nearly a mirror image Dick Either that or we were parted at birth!! £40 for a Tiffie,......at least your stash is much cheaper than mine!!
