Collected the Buccaneer pitot today, all 6ft 9 inches of it, plus a 3ft x 2ft Hemp paint chip, ie a Nimrod panel from one of the AEW versions so I can now tell you if your Nimrods are in the wrong shade of Hemp  ;D
Arranged to meet the chap I bought them off at Doncaster Aeroventure and while there bought a Hobbyboss 1/48 two-seat A-10 as well  :wub:


Here's a question for you Steve; is the Nimrod panel pre-shaded?   ;D
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Managed to pick up a Hunter FGA9 yesterday afternoon. Wanted more, but Morning star didn't have all that much in. I need to get a trip to Hannents or West Drayton organised!

The new Revell one?  If so do you know if it is it basically the same decal options as the 1/144 one?

The Pegasus kits are a lot better than you would expect! The 262 fits together really well.

I've read good things about these Peagasus 1/48 EZ kits in this months SAMI.  Apparently there as good, if not better than many 'real' kits.  They contain stickers rather than decals & are firmly aimed at the kids market, but us guys especially are going to dress them up in our own markings anyway!
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.

a Wespe resin 1/76 LCT4 landing craft... should be interesting...

The stickers in the Pegasus kits are "options"...usual decals are given but only one option, but as you say, who cares?
The Hurricane is brilliant, and I'll certainly buy another Pegasus Hobbies kit, specifically for daft purposes.

Yeah, it was the Revell one. The decal ooptions for it are  -- 1) 1 Tactical weapons unit - Brawdy 1979 2) 79 SQN (No1 TWU again at Brawdy) 1984 3) Patouille Suisse - 1991 4) Fliegerstaffek 20 Swiss air force 1993. Not sure if these match the 144 version but I'll check for you.

A neighbour took a parcel in yesterday that was dropped off by her last night while I was out:

3 x HobbyBoss 1/72nd F-86F-30 Sabres :wub:
3 x HobbyBoss 1/72nd F-86F-40 Sabres :wub:
1 x Special Hobby 1/72nd F-86H "Hog" in ANG markings" :wub: :wub:

Wonderful. :wacko:

The "extra" Hog markings (3 options in each kit) will go onto F-86Fs to add some confusion to things :wacko:
