Another good article and build on the Mulberry harbours in same issue

Eh, what scale is it in? Even in 1/700 it'd be GINORMOUS!  :o

Sorry Kit should have been clearer. The build is of 2 pontoons and 1 bridge section (resin kits by Dan Taylor Modelworks) being crossed by a Bedford QL, so 1/76th.

The Bf 109E is out.  Wonderland and Hannants have theirs and some sellers are flogging them on evil bay.  Some in build threads on Britmodeller.

Release date for the Mustang - unsurprisingly in a Red Tails box - is July 10.

June 26 is the release date for the F22, according to a Hornby Trade website.

Random thought: if "Chinook" can be shortened to "Chook" as a nickname, can you, by the same logic, call a Chipmunk a "Chunk"?

Sorry, carry on......

Using 'strine  Rhyming Slang, downunder we call Chinooks, "Angy Chooks" - "Chook" being a slang word for a Chicken in 'strine.   ;D

We got the Chippy and the 109 in last week, the 109 didn't last the day so we are waiting for more from Airfix.  :thumbsup:

Pick up a 109 tomorrow hopefully.

I noticed whilst ordering some Eduard masks on Hannants today that among the new Airfix starter sets due for release is a King Tiger - any one know whos tooling it is ?

The starter set thing is interesting, the buggers put some nice markings options in them  :wacko:

Its a new Airfix tooling, but it has conventional tracks unlike their Cromwell, does look good and its a Porsche Turreted variant

Cheers Geoff. Good to see they are expanding all the ranges. If we win the European Cup will they do a 1/12 Roy Hodgson ???  :wacko: ;D

That's got to be a decal sheet and a half!  :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! :)
