From ebay: Revell 1/72nd Heinkel He100D  On stock for if the Spanish Civil War GB ever comes off...

I presume this is the old Lindberg mould?

From Luckymodel.com in Hong Kong, Legend productions of Korea, M2 Bradley accessory set. This thing for the money is pretty good,as it comprises of photo etch racking to fit the Revell M2 Bradley, and a load of resin kit bags, and some resin add on armour plates. There is also some photo etch detailing for the racking on the rear of the turret. The quality of the kit is quite god considering it only cost me $5.99 US delivered from Hong Kong, and, it only took a week to get here. This will be getting used on one of my Dragon Bradley kits.
They have a website also.

Cheers,
Chris.
Heads up on the website above, it is dodgy and contains alsorts of stuff that will frack your computer, be warned!!
(In that case dont post the link ! )

From ebay, Revell 1/144th B-17G. I wanted a B-17 for a not-entirely-serious project but the £15+ price of 1/72nd ones brought me up short, so I thought I'd see if I could do it at half the scale for a third of the price. Having got it though, I think not: it's just too small to carry the detail to make the joke work.

Funny, you always think of B-17s as being big, but by modern standards they arn't: it's actually 10ft shorter than a BAe 146....

Not very happy with this one
I thought I had bought a Heller 1/72nd scale AMD super mystere as per description and the search I put in.
So what arrives this morning....a 1/100th scale one not happy.
So I will have to go through the rigmarole of sending the thing back and not getting the whole amount of my money back due to paypal taking their cut 
Hmmm???
Chris.

Yep, you always have to watch that with Heller. Most of the 1/100th "cadet" kits are pretty poor, too....

Also put my name on the Xtrakit FA SHAR coming in this week......RCN, of course !

Try the early prewar FAA scheme for the devastator
and Whoops - You would possibly have been wiser waiting for the Airfix SHAR FA2 kit due later in the year, as teh Xtrakit version ia rather shoddy, its a FA2 but looks to be based on Hasegawa main fuselage with the plug fitted and the Italeri Fwd fuselage with the radom, detail is questionable and kit of the canopy is crap on early example as they used the hase version and its too wide for the cockpit !!!!.

[Captain Canada]

Thanks for the heads up ! I still have time to cancel....I'll tell Dave at the shop what's up with the kit. Might explain why it's only $25 and the other kits are in the $40s !

As for the FAA scheme, which one are you talking about ?
