Well, I haven't been around a lot lately (busy!), and I was just in Toronto, where I stopped at a fantastic hobby store called Wheels and Wings. Huge variety of kits, but I had to restrain myself as I didn't have much room to bring things back. I did pick up one kit for myself, it being this:

Then, earlier today I picked up a kit I was planning on buying for a while, but at home.

I've already ordered some Aviaeology decals for the 418 RCAF (City of Edmonton) aircraft, though I'm unsure of which specific aircraft I'll be doing. Leaning towards Hairless Joe, but the black-bottomed ones look kind of neat.

Terry, what exactly did you want to see about the radio? I can take photos of whatever you'd like.
 
Great buys there Cory - I'd like to see what the Jag kit is like.
No problem re the radios - I've since found what I needed from Evan's GB build, confirming that Tamiya have a rather strange radio set-up in their 1/32nd scale kit - which they got right in their 1/72nd scale kit !!
 
I shall remain strong and wait for the bomber version.....
 
Thanks Cory. Got a Heller (Airfix) and ESCI Jaguar to do, one in green/grey, the other in the light grey scheme, using a resin cockpit in one, and cross-kitting Airfix bits to the ESCI kit, but your kit will be far superior.
 
That's just practice, experience and pig-headedness on my part !
I've got quite a few reference pics if you need them when the time comes.
 
Terry, here's a far better overview of the kit than I could ever do. I have some aftermarket decals for an Operation Granby aircraft. I thought I had Buster Gonads (since I have the sense of humour of a 12 year old), but Johnny Fartpants will have to do.
