Only 1 Italian Bird in the MTO group build?

[Wayne Little]

Strange, the Macchi was the one which didn't seem to move, and was still around when the other kits started to dry up. Then - poof! Gone, never to be seen again! I wanted to get their JU87 too, which was my first choice for this GB, but you've got more chance of finding Hitler's dog!!

..there is/was 2 Ju87's there too Terry, got me one of those as well, should get on with the Snake Stuka...


Jan you probably know...but i will say it anyways...the Gruppe Bar should be Red with with black outline and the victory bars are also red for Bartels G-6.

Sure do! Thanks for reminding me anyway mate . Got the Eagle Editions set for his bird, with red Gruppe Bar and victory markings, outlined in black....
Have the set with the = as well, that with black victory markings though...

Have some serious problems not buying this Hobbycraft, ex-Amtech, P-40 F/L and any of the Hasegawa's 109G-6's....

That Black and Red P-40 is HOTTT!!Buy it Jan.

 

[A4K]

She does look damn good... With Kevin - go for it Jan!

 

[muller]

4 colour!?

4 if you include the grey undersides

 

[Wayne Little]

IIRC there is a pic of the Black and Red P-40 in the Squadron signal in action booklet....?

Think I'm gonna grab one of those Mc202's Terry!

 

[Lucky13]

This beauty comes with decals for a "13" as well! 8)

Nice buy Jan!
Wayne, I'd ask you to get me a Macchi and send it, but the shipping would probably cost twice as much as the kit, which defeats the object somewhat!!

Kit is equal to15 pound and postage about 10-15? depends on the size and weight, Terry.

 

[Airframes]

Wow! The kits were less than £10 here! Thanks, but at £30 I think I'll pass!!

Didn't think you would go for it.... $30 Aus seems to be the go here although I have seen $50 on a Stuka!
If my mate could get them they would be $20-25...

Problem is they go through too many sets of hands here and everyone in the supply chain wants a piece of the pie so the price ends up higher than it should be.

I guess thats why many now look at alternative overseas direct supply.

 

[Lucky13]

How low can you go.....

Maybe this'll inspire someone to do the SM.79, eh?

 

[Wurger]

Holy crap...it is the real low pass. Cool pic Jan.

 

[DBII]

way cool

[Airframes]

Nah! He's a landing and a forgotta put downa da gear ! Don't know why, but I've always sort of liked the look of that Sparviero, or whatever they called it. And there's now a 1/48th scale kit too Jan.....

 

[Lucky13]

Italeri was it, or?

 

[Airframes]

I think it is actually. I saw it at Iris's shop, so almost certainly Italeri, Italieri or whatever they call themselves nowadays!

 

[Lucky13]

It was first Classic Airframe and the Trumpeter that released the SM.79 in 1/48. Trumpeter vs Classic Airframes 1/48 SM.79
