Blimey  - everyone's doing Defiants: it's practically a group build....... ;D

Got the Airfix Javelin last night - interesting.

Only two Firestreaks - why?  :huh:

Outer wing panels molded separately - good (makes it easier to blend the Avro Avenger's wing-mounted fins convincingly)

Nose cone molded in one piece with fuselage: not sure if that's good or bad to be honest.... (wouldn't like it if I was building it up as standard...)

Don't believe what I've just seen on ebay - I bid £5.00 on an Airfix Whirlwind and didn't get it: know what it sold for: £17.50.....  :blink: :blink: :blink: :rolleyes:

Weaver, you'll be glad that you didn't get it, Bilek have just released a reboxed Airfix Whirlwind for, yep, you guessed it, £5!  Poor sod who's paying £17.50 for it!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

I dont usually post here till I take delivery, but I'm excited about ordering my first resin kit, so I'll post it early!

From the lovely folks at Hannants, just ordered:

Pro Resin/Olimp Folland Gnat F.1-naturally it will end up flying CAS for an RAF CSAR mission in Vietnam armed with Matra pods.   ;D

To make up the 30 quid for overseas orders I also got:

Airwaves 1/48 Bucc wingfold set
Xtradecal RAF roundels/stencils
Modeldecal black UK serials sheet with all the RN, RAF, Army, RM wording
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Bought a Matchbox Mirage III at the Airshow last Sunday. The cost was 80 kr, but the seller said he had just heard that it was worth 180 kr. Is this true? :unsure: It certainly doesnt look like its worth that much...


Yesterday i got myself the 1/72 Heller Fouga Magister and Italeri TB-58 "Boomerang/Hustler"

1/72 Mirage III kits are suprisingly hard to come by, but since you can get hold of the AML kit with resin parts for £13/120Kr I'd say he was pulling your p!sser.  80Kr/£8.50 seems about right considering the Matchbox & Heller kits have not been around for some time.

Part of it might be because the Matchbox kit makes a IIIB two-seater. That's not common, though I wouldn't be surprised if Heller didn't do a IIIB too.

Got one of those Matchbox two seaters, it builds up fairly nicely IIRC, it was a few years ago I did it though.  I did add some goodies to it from the Heller Weapons Set.
