Quote from: jcf on November 07, 2023, 09:04:07 AMLength and wingspan similarities have little meaning in this case because it's all about volume. The Firebrand fuselage is skinny, the AD fuselage ain't. It's a slab-sided monster.

My RAF  Martin Mauler is a sort of alternative to the skyraider. Bought by the fleet air arm and RAF and used in Korea and several other conflicts up until the mid 1960's. The Mauler can carry a truck load of hurt too.

So glad I finally got my hands on a Skyraider..a Tamiya one in 48th .
I'd been very happy with the old Monogram kit buy finding one..a whole different story.

Delivered recently...



1x Plus model 1/72 Propellers for C-118/DC-6
1x KV models 1/72 RAH-66 Comanche canopy and wheel painting masks
1x Flying Leathernecks 1/48 AH-1Z TSS turret and 1x 1/48 AH-1Z FMV tail mod for the KittyHawk kit

Just won a Aeroshima R35 GTR in 24th..have nasty ideas for this   

Noice.  I've  built the Tamiya R35.

Got this today from France for a 1/48 Tamiya Matilda.  Australian Matildas had guards over the front of the tracks which would be tricky to scratchbuild.  Gun was to get over a minimum order value but will be usefull.

From Hannants:

KP 1/72nd Alpha Jet A
The "A" is purely because it comes with three Luftwaffe schemes: the sprues also carry "E" and "MS" noses.
Bought because I want the Luftwaffe markings for a Harrier and the the Big H have the KP on sale at the moment, making it only £1 dearer than the exact same decal sheet sold separately.

Xtradecal X72314 F-104 Starfighter Collection Pt1
Bought because there's a Marineflieger scheme in there that's destined for a Buccaneer.

Eduard 1/72nd Harrier GR.1 canopy mask set.

New Ware 1/72nd Buccaneer S,2C advanced canopy mask set.
This has masks in three different patterns so that you can mask for the interior colour, canopy edge lines and canopy frame lines.

That Matilda is quite different..I like the mods you Aussies did to your tanks ..makes for some good model building

New or old KP?  If it's the latter, go over the decals as they are prone to break.

New. The only complaint I can come up with so far is that there are zero paint codes on the paint charts, and I'm fairly sure that the info on one of the profiles is wrong. Having said that, they might have copied the wrong bit from IPMS Stockholm, who's paint chart for the post-war Luftwaffe makes a similar mistake.

The Aoshima R35 GTR turned up in the mail today which I brought only a couple of days ago..wicked fast delivery for here.
I was thinking of going my normal route with this car..monster 4000hp engine...drag slicks ..a street weapon but the more I look at this I'm having other ideas.
New wheels which I have..AM turbos ..a bit of aero mods and a metallic blue and silver paint job ..maybe on the paint ..my mind hasn't fully envisioned this car yet.

Summat like Croydon Racing Developments 3,000hp R32?

They need a larger turbo.

And a wider rear spoiler, Kit?
