Bought an old Monogram twin kit....DO-335 and a P-47D Razorback. Got it on E Bay the other day and it came to $27.00 CDN with shipping. I am having it shipped to my niece who lives in Niagara Falls N.Y. for school and she will bring it to me when she comes home in a couple of weeks. Saved $9.00 USD by having it shipped to her.

Cheers,

Jeff

Nice Jeff, I've been eying that up as well. Hope you do an In-box review when it arrives.

Yeah isn't that weird Jeff? Sometimes it's cheaper to mail something from the states to Europe, than Canada. What the jam?

Why that one Wayne? It seems so plain.

Hey Jim, well sitting on its nose with some open panels suits the eduard kit to a tee, what you don't see is the sad aftermath....there is a 250Kg booby trapped bomb sitting under the nose, when the aircraft was moved the bomb exploded destroying the aircraft, injuring a number of Us servicemen and damaging some surrounding aircraft.

i remember Terry doing that one in 1/72 way back in time, might even have been the first GB !

 

[Capt. Vick]

No way! Great stuff! Sad ending though.

Yep. Used a Hobby Boss kit for a quick build, and based this little cameo on the JG26 bird, just as an introduction for the very first GB.

[Capt. Vick]

Yeah, honestly thought you reposted the picture again!

 

[Crimea_River]

That was my first reaction too. Nice one Terry. I don't think I was around back then to see it first hand.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Are there any post explosion pictures?

none that I am aware of...be a bit of a mess though...

 

[Capt. Vick]

Sorry, didn't mean to sound like a ghoul. Probably the last thing they were thinking of.

Lots of pictures of the aircraft over time though with bits and pieces going missing to souvenir hunters. Another one that makes one shudder shows a couple of RCAF crew sitting in the pit while the plane was still tipped. Lucky guys.
