Albeback52 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Now all we need do is sit back and wait for the cries of "why waste resources on a type that was never produced when modellers are screaming out for (insert)" !😂😂. Personally,I love these " out of the box" (no pun intended) subjects. It takes imagination and, I suspect a little courage to commit to such a subject. Modelsvit has certainly not lacked imagination!

SleeperService Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 A Moonbat I say. Make a good companion for the Flying Flapjack. I'd like one but have been told Combat Models vac-forms are 'a challenge'. Has anybody else noticed that they've been buying lots more from the smaller manufacturers and fewer mainstream offerings? Great days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
