Indeed!

One of the guys in the 144 SIG has done a Princess and it's magnificent!

Various S&M decal sheets that could be particularly useful for whiffers (not just on helos):




(1/78th scale to fit the Revell kit)


All here: HANNANTS

Why don't they do the 'dyne decals in 1/72 to fit the Airfix kit?  

I like the BEA High Speed Jack version, but it should be a blue stripe, not black.  

[Captain Canada]

All the Antarctic Survey options looks pretty nice !

I like the BEA High Speed Jack version, but it should be a blue stripe, not black.  

Because the Revell one was reissued fairly recently and is widely available?

BTW, the red Whirlwind on the first helo sheet is the BEA-tles machine seen at the end of A Hard Day's Night.

cause Mel did them for the Airfix kit years ago as separate sheets, I did the red square one years ago

[McColm]

Wow! That does look good.

Injection moulded Curtiss C-46 in 1/72nd scale:

Given the size of the thing, that doesn't seem unreasonable at £28.

Injection moulded Curtiss C-46 in 1/72nd scale:

That's the original Williams Bros. kit of the mid '70s IIRC. It's pretty good, I have one, but investing in the Falcon vacform windscreen set would be a good move as the glass area is enormous and really demands a good cockpit job done on it.

In passing I went aboard one, 'China Doll' herself, some years back and the cockpit really is huge, you sit in the Captain's seat and the window sill is below your knees, and it's about a foot away from you as well.

I might treat myself to that Shetland 

[Captain Canada]

I've got the Williams kit, saved for a RW Buffalo Airways build. Compared to the DC-3, the thing is huge !

Love to grab another tho.

Amongst loads of other things S&M have plans this year for : Fairey F155T Delta II, Supermarine 559, AW 168 and Gloster GO 339. All resin and 1/72.

Also a 1/72 injection plastic Buccaneer S!/S2
