Jolly good old chap, and I think you'll like the simple, but nice little Frog kit, as we discussed.
Now then, this 'Adrian' chap, is he the brother, or the cousin, of Hadrian ......? (Darned strange names for Romans, if you ask me - what happened to Paulo, Luigi, and all the other Italian names?!!)

Just trying to sound more 'modern' old boy!

Yip, tempted to get the old Frog kit...!

 

[dirkpitt289]

Looking forward to get the kit, it's still in its shrinkwrap! 8)
Just the Lancaster, Halifax (Airfix and Matchbox) and possibly their B-29 and I can have a nostalgia trip down Memory Boulevard!

I was recently looking at and bidding on a few of the Airfix B-29s but the prices got out of the range I'm willing to spend. My way around the issue was simple. I bought the Academy B-29 for far less and I feel its a far better detailed kit. Of course it looses that nostalgic feel when building it but...

Aye, seen a couple of the old Airfix 'Red Stripe' B-29's on ebay for 37 quid, then the shipping from the good ol' US of A! Thanks, but no thanks...

Then again, if the need gets to much, I've got the old Monogram 1/48 B-29!

Ha, I have the very same kit...going on about ten years now and I keep swearing it's the next one I'm going to tackle but something always gets in the way, BV 141 Bv 138 Ar 196 etc etc. Gotta get back on the Arado, havn't touched it since last spring !

The last picture, is it just an optical illusion or is it really 1/72 scale? That pic makes it look almost like a 1/144 scale.

I was thinking the same thing! Either that or you have some seriously huge hands Andre (the Giant).
