Yes he died, no he did not have 40 kills. They even categorically state that the 'Ghost' is a representation of all UA pilots. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Knight Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I just pre-ordered with Jadlam I reckon this is going to be extremely popular and will sell out very quickly so I wanted to be sure of getting one Just one will do me, all I can afford PS. ICM are doing a matching paint set at £9.95 PPS; What are their paints like to use? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I don’t usually build in 1/72 these days due to increasing lack of manual dexterity, but I think I might make an exception in this case. Who knows, they might even scale it up to 1/48, here’s hoping. John 🇺🇦 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Has an exact release date been confirmed? Some places suggest from the 16th, others the 31st, and then others July 👀 I've got one pre-ordered from emodels with the hope it arrives in time for the old birthday. Obviously can't complain much on any delay given the bigger picture, but still curious 😋 Gaz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alhenderson Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I bought the kit from my local model shop last weekend, very happy to actually buy a kit from a real person for once 🙂 Was wondering if anyone knew any alternative colours for the "off white" and "sky grey" colours for the camo on this? I was going to get the paint set then realised that, with the camo being decals, most of the paints in there are redundant unless you choose to paint the camo. Also, if anyone's built it, how are the camo decals? If they're a bit iffy I might have to think about trying to paint the camo - eek! Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
