Airfix Meteor F8 (looks like the Xtrakit one, without resin) & Hobbyboss F-86F Sabre, markings to be swapped to give a Luftwaffe Meteor & Belgian F-86...

This is the second reference I've read to the Airfix Meteor Mk.8 and I was really puzzled as I hadn't seen one before, so I went onto the Airfix website and low and behold --- there it is    Cheap too    I think I will have to get a couple as I have the MPM Mk.9 version of this kit ( I can get two Airfix kits for the same price as one MPM kit  )

Not a model but a set of 1/32 Zotz transfers for the F-16, tried all over the place for these and finally managed to track down a set in Panama City, Panama. Sent them the money via Western Union and 13 days later they arrived here in the UK, cool, now means I can do my Singaporean Nimrod so to Ricardo at Scale models and parts many thanks

STM-S2--Testors   

Gagagorgeous wee kit! Working sloooooooowly on mine atm. Be warned, if you don't include the pilots it would be a smart idea to spruce up the cockpit detail

Ooooooh P-6E!*is jealous*

BTW How long does a Great Models Webstore international delivery normally take?
