Nice ones chaps! Have to admit that the 1/72 is a tad too small for me, always liked the 1/48 better, it's the right size of things....

I went to Belgrade today, stopped by at the hobby shop on my way back home and I didn't came out empty handed. Here are my today's purchases - Academy Bf 109E, Revel Fw 190A-8 and Zvezda Il-2 Sturmovik - all in 1/72 scale.

I'm satisfied with the buy as these seem to be very nice kits. However, when I came home and opened the boxes I was unpleasantly surprised with the contens of the Revell box: there were two panels with fuselage parts but no wings!! I have already contacted hobby shop regarding this issue and they said to come over again to replace parts. I will do that probably next week when I'll be again going to Belgrade.

My god, what passes for QC at these companies anymore?

Would love to see some shots of the IL-2. I been debating whether to get that kit.

No problem, but batteries on my digital camera are empty at this time. As soon as I sort that out I'll take few shots and post them.

Nice buys Igor! Sorry to hear about the missing parts!

A such things always happen.An Airfix Spitfire Mk.VB came without the cockpit conopy and in a PZL P-7 of Mastercraft I've received two wings without the fuselage. So it is nothing new even for Revell.

Sometimes I'm not sure what is better either get two double wings or totally sc**wed up model like the Academy Minicraft Bf109E.It would be better if they added the ICM fuselage with the engine cowlling and main landing gear wheels to the kit.

Well, this is the first time something like this happened to me. Guess there's a first time for everything.

Thanks Igor. Major bummer about the wings on the Revell kit.
