Help me before I buy again!

The stash just got a little bigger. Four new 1:72 kits, all Italian aircraft:

Azur IMAM Ro.37
Azur IMAM Ro.37 bis
Special Hobby Fiat Cr.25 (The fighter version / not the transport version)
MPM Breda Ba 88B Lince

AND a spool of Coats and Clark dark grey transparent nylon - 1500 yds x 0.004 mm (around 4$) At 12 inches a kit on average, that's enough for 4500 models!

Wojtek, do you need a set of resin wheels for that 1:48 La-5FN? I've got a set that I will NEVER use. They're yours if you want them. Just send me a pm with your mailing address and I'll send them to you.

Thank you Dwight. Sending...

Looks like a good book Andy, does this mean we might see the odd Lib or two in the future?!!
Nice haul Dwight. That thread is invaluable stuff - and you're right, it goes on forever - if you can find the end of it, being 'invisible'!!

Very nice collection, Kgambit.
I particularly like the BA-88: a very nice looking aeroplane but, unfortunately "It represented, perhaps, the most remarkable failure of any operational aircraft to see service in World War II."

Yep - it wasn't a top of the line performer - that's for sure.

just spotted your pics of the Lag kit Wojtek. It's not my area of interest, but what a beautifully detailed kit! It looks like someone has cast a 'shrink it' spell on the real thing, with all those internal frames, formers, engine bearers and so on. I think I'll have to look at the Zvezda range sometime!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks for those pics Wojtek...that's not a bad looking kit!!

Hi guys

Finally the ARII Bf109 G-6 came this morning
Decals are a bit on the yellow side.
It's going to be an easy build ( fingers,toe's crossed )

Thanks to Wayne for the instructions

BF109 day today for me guys.Just a quick note Eduard has some serious competition from Trumpeter in the 1/32nd scale in my opiion.

 

[Wurger]

Looking nice. Any details from boxes?

 

[brandle]

Aeroscale do a better review of the Trumpeter 1:32 BF109 better than I could ever do , LINK

And they take much better pics than me....

 

[Airframes]

Looks pretty good, and at a reasonable price. Hmm, could be adding another Emil to the stock.....

 

[Wayne Little]

Good buys Brandle...yeah the Trumpeter kit is not bad at all, couple of serious errors but easy to overcome!

 

[Airframes]

What's the errors Wayne?

 

[brandle]

Here are the census of errors I have read about Airframes,LINK

Good review, which has answered all the questions. Not a bad buy at around £26 in the UK - looks like I'll be getting one methinks, and the later E4 canopy. Thanks mate.
