^ Are you sure it's not just that pre-painted 1/100 snap-fit kit that comes with a puzzle?  :-\ CLICKY!
Cheers,
Moritz

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Yes Moritz, you're right, it is the 1/100th snap kit/puzzle set. Pity they won't do a proper kit. Want several in 1/72nd and two in 1/48th.
Read somewhere that it's not a popular type in Italy due to some problems they have.

Model Hobbies have got the Merlin HC.3 in 1/72nd for £17.99 (rrp19.99). Also in today are the Mirage F-1C, Tornado F.3, CR.42 and the Beer carrying Spitfire IX in 1/48th and the Dodge 6x6 that I was going to buy but at £35.99 (rrp £40.00!) there is no way I'm getting it unless it turns up in a bargain bin!

The Italeri Dodge WC 62 is the old 1970s Peerless-Max kit and is not worth £35.99 never mind £40.00.

If you want a Dodge weapons carrier track down the AFV Club/Skybow WC62/63 kit (options allow building different versions).

Here is the Big Shot boxing on Ebay UK for £26.99:

Thanks for the info Jon, that is one excellent looking Dodge! Just have to get a chance to bung some cash in the Bank and I think I'll be getting one of 'em.

I was lucky enuff to get one in an AIRFIX box from 1975 (with the NEW flash) off eBay last year. Was only looking at it for the first time last night. It's still in its' orginal plastic bags inside the box, and the price sticker on the front is...... £1.79 !!

Unbelievable !

G'day Gang,

IPMS Deutschland have the old Italeri Horsa up for review.  A brilliant kit in the day (I remember building one in high-school) and still includes the pilot & para figures.

Cheers - always thought you could make a decent early twin-rotor helicopter out of that...

With the body, yeah, I can totally see that.  So what's stopping you?  ;)

And you can buy it in an Airfix box now too, maybe cheaper, certainly more available.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Seems Italeri have a 'new' Corsair for release.  Suez markings abound.
