I've ordered the beast, along with some filler and Micro Set for the Hurricane and Dornier. I have no idea when I will build the Venom - I've got a work-related relocation coming up in June, I will hopefully be settled for a good while after that, so I will be able to build and display the thing somewhere 8)

I'm already ridiculously excited about this thing turning up, I remember my dad building the Matchbox version and thinking it was the coolest (and biggest) thing I had ever seen!

bugger just been on modelhobbies ! now my wish list is up to 28

 

[Airframes]

It'll keep growing Karl!
Thanks Jan, it was Classic Airframes I was thinking of!
BT, I saw the Venom built and painted, and it is a VERY nice model when done; I think you'll like it.

I have dim memories of the one my dad built, it looked gorgeous, and IIRC, the panel over the engine could be removed to reveal a very detailed Ghost 104/105 8) If the marking options are the same as the Matchbox issue, there should be an FAA FAW.22 and an NF.3 based at Leuchars (?) in there, I will definitely be going for the FAA variant, as I have a soft spot for just about anything that the RN flew off a carrier!

 

[Catch22]

Any Corsairs on the list BT?

 

[BombTaxi]

Must admit Catch, if I build USN/USMC, it is more likely to be a Phantom. I wouldn't mind a go at an FAA Corsair though. Revell also do a 1/32nd Martlet (F4F in FAA service) which looks quite fun.

I don't think I really have a 'favourite' a/c type or family that I would build a lot of, if I was to do a 'theme' it would probably be FAA... or Coastal Command if I wanted something really obscure!

Speaking of which, Academy do a 1/72nd Coastal Command B-17E... oh to win the lottery and retire tomorrow!!!!

Sorry BT, I meant FAA Corsairs.

Lucky, these are your fault...

ICM do the German dreadnoughts Konig, Markgraf and Grosser Kurfurst in 1/350, about 30 quid each from what I have seen online. Consider them added to my list 8)

 

[Lucky13]

Pint?

 

[BombTaxi]

Several 8) Just browsing the WEM website, I very nearly impulse bought a 1/48 scale Oakley class lifeboat. Credit card is breathing a sigh of relief as we speak...

Dribble, drool, etc...

Thinking of getting a little ship (1/600 Airfix jobby maybe>) after Hurri Dornier are done, to see how it works out. The WEM site is pure pRon to naval history geeks like myself, but I wouldn't get to shelling out 30 quid for a teeny tiny destroyer until I knew for a fact I could make a good job of it.

I actually have a Revell 1/570 KGV in the stash, for some reason though, when I last packed it up a few years ago, there were still bits of masking tape on it. You can imagine how that looks now, of course

 

[BombTaxi]

Had to warm this thread up again, was browsing modelsforsale.com last night and saw another Revell reissue of a Matchbox kit, this time the 1/72 Victor K.2. Having seen the original MB box art of one done up in green and grey with the belly still in anti-flash white, I am more than sold, and will be parting with thirteen quid as soon as the Falklands sextuplets and Sea Venom are done 8)

 

[Trebor]

oh, I forgot....lots of '80s cars and AIRLINERS! 8D

 

[Lucky13]

'80's cars!!??

 

[Trebor]

yes, you heard me right....80's cars!

one in particular, a third generation Camaro!

 

[Lucky13]

*shivers* They stopped making good looking cars '72....or thereabouts. Third generation Camaro you say Rob, is that those when they used to build one called IROC-Z or something?

 

[Trebor]

exactly. do a search on wikipedia on third generation camaro.

but yes, I've been eyeing 80's monte carlos and such.

 

[Lucky13]

Right....cool!

 

[Trebor]

heh, yes I'm very old fashioned I'm SUCH an 80's freak. I'm still waiting for a Delorean (my fave car in the world)
