Too late for my Folgore build but looking forward to giving them a crack...

Very interesting. Just one question about the bigger wheel set, are these intended to use with larger scale kits? (1/32, 1/24)
Or are these also usable with 1/48th scale kits. i have a few older rivet wheels, which work great for R.A.F. subjects, but their spacing is too dense for Luftwaffe aircraft where the number of rivet's per line seam less. So, what set would be usefull for those? i'm thinking Fw 190, Bf 109, etc...

Not sure about the one John has, but I got the Master Tools / Trumpeter version some time ago, which is supplied with four wheels of different 'pitch', allowing use across the scales, or, of course, for different sizes of rivets and spacing. Works very well, although I admit I've only used it a few times.

Went back to Eagle Hobbies today since I am house sitting again in Suffolk, and found these. And if anyone is interested, I am willing to trade the AMT Ertl models as they are 1/72 scale.

Just messing around on the net today and located these available on Kijiji. Contacted the guy and after some negotiation I snagged them both for a total of $100.00 Canadian. Another sweet deal. I wont get a chance to pick them up for a couple of weeks as Mexico calls tomorrow. Flight is at 10:30 am local time but arrangements have been made to get them upon my return. Got my wheeled Swordfish and it only took a few days, WooHoo ! again

Finally was able to get to Kitchener to pick up this Kijiji purchase. Turns out the actual purchase is for these two versions as opposed to what I posted a few weeks back.

The Swordfish comes with the wire bracing kit and the Betty comes with pre painted canopies which is fine as long as one wants to build Yamamoto's aircraft or that of Vice Admiral Yugaki. These are the only decal options that come with this kit. Still, for $100.00 Cdn, not a bad deal.

Cheers,

Jeff

Another Red Star....

[Wayne Little]

Great buys fellas....

 

[Lucky13]

....and yet another Red Star, most for the reason it being the ESCI boxing (feeling nostalgic here), they had some cracking boxarts back in the day!
Any idea what version it is of the Su-7?

 

[Wurger]

Judging by the container at the rudder root , that's the BKL or BMK variant.

 

[Wurger]

Yep.. the same kit with new parts is offered by Eduard.

 

[Lucky13]

Much obliged young man....I've got that Eduard boxing, it's not a bad kit!

 

[Lucky13]

I just need to find this one then....

 

[Wurger]

There is a mistake in the first profile . The plane no.926 was the BKL variant while the profile shows the BM sub-type. The aircraft belonged to the 3rd Fighter-Bomber Regiment ( 3PLMB ) in Bydgoszcz where was deliverd in 1972. . And she had the container at the fin/rudder root.
