Oh dear.  The Spitfire 22.  I am going to be bankrupted.

Wonder if the Hunter T.7 is the old Matchbox mould like the Meteor NF.11/12/14 was?

Don't know but I was told it was due in the country prior to Telford. Hannants were a little miffed (understandably) that it missed out.

Not at that price.  The Meteor was about £8 so I suspect that the Hunter is a new tool.

I know the Meteor NF is only £7 now, but wasn't it something like £14 when it came out? There seem to be an awful lot of the Matchbox Meteors on ebay (I've got four!), so that probably prompted them to reduce the price to something more competative. The Matchbox Hunter T.7 seems to be in much shorter supply second hand though (probably because more of them were actually built).

Four? Is that all?  ;) ;D :o
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! :)

Given that I only actually need two, it's plenty, thanks..... ;D

It's not an easy build.  Frankly, it's a horror.  I've built 2 - never again...

I remember you telling me when I broached my ideas for one. I still intend to do it, but I modified the plan and I'm not in any rush. The other "needed" one is a bits donor.

The wings and tail are okay, bit of sanding, some filler.  The fuselage... Horrible, simply horrible.

Have to be honest, I'd like to do another TR10 but with the NF14 canopy and bang seats.

Looks nice  :thumbsup: . Box art is remarkably similar to the Admiral/AZ one. Could get confusing

I've wanted a 1:72 IP Spit 22/24 for years, and now three companies (special hobby, xtrakit and admiral) are doing them all at once! My cup runneth over, as they say. Now to find some cheap ones - I can't afford £15+ for the number that I want!
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

There's a trader on ebay knocking the Admiral ones out for £12 each.

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?
