Now that is very nice, Wojtek!
You're right, girls are needed not for the tights, but why are they so expensive to run, one way or the other?
My Jeep 4 litre costs less to keep going! He He!!

Because we are good men.

Today I picked up another Airfix 1:48 Spitfire Vc to go with these decals I bought from Waynes mate at the model expo.

 

[Wurger]

Oh... a very nice set.

 

[Wildcat]

Thanks mate. When I get around to making this kit, I'll be doing it as SH-K "Marge". Should look good.

 

[Wurger]

I'm sure she should. For my Airfix Spifire Mk.Vc I have ZP X and QY G markings.

Hi airboiy. Nice find on the Revell Lancs. I presume they're 1/72nd scale, not, as you posted, 1/48th scale? If so they were both originally issued in 1966/67, I remember getting one of each as a Christmas present, when I was 15! They're not too bad, especially the 'Upkeep' mine on the Dam Buster, but the framework on the canopy/turrets is a bit heavy, IIRC. Don't forget to discard the ventral guns on the Dam Buster, they weren't fitted when the aircraft resched the Squadron.

thanks for the tip. they are 1:72 scale, sorry for the mistype i have found pics of actual lancs w/ the ventral turret on top and bottom. the build is going well. the other lanc will be a non-armed civil type.

Nice buys guys. Now can anyone recommend a good 1/48 P-40E??

i've read in Fine Scale Modeler (FSM) that trumpeter makes a 1:48 p-40E
maybe it was a 1:32...

 

[Wurger]

For sure it is a 1/32 scale kit but it is not a P-40E but P-40B.What is a huge difference.

 

[Wildcat]

I'm sure she should. For my Airfix Spifire Mk.Vc I have ZP X and QY G markings.

Cool. I've got some pics of these aircraft, if you want me to post them just sing out.

 

[Wurger]

Great...Of course I want.I would be very grateful.
