Airfix

As a kid I had the RE8/Roland CII Dogfight Double.  Loved the Roland (and I had a Hanover CL.III around the same time) - thought it was so cool.  And looking at pictures on the web just now makes me think it couldbe good whiffing material - no rear gunner, but 2 MGs for the pilot.

I know LFG did in real life produce single seater/2 MG fighters.

Yes!  I too had that one, and remember building it one pouring wet summer holiday in the south east of Scotland. I even managed to get them both home  in one piece.  The wings on the RE8  were a nightmare!!

Yep the Walfisch was great

Always liked the Roland and the Hanover was a nice kit as well. Hanover was recently re-released and it would be nice to see the Roland released maybe with the markings of that one that had "curtains" in the windows.

I was at Hobbycraft having a butchers in the model section and got the shock of my life....a Spitfire XII in 1/48. Got to read the magazines once in a while, I get so out of touch. Only my all time favourite Spit.
Had a Google when I got home and found they've released a XIX Pr too. After a bit of research I think it might be possible with some cutting, filling and sanding to mate an Airfix XVI wing to the XIX fuselage, source a replacement canopy and decals and knock out a XIVc, my second all time favourite Spit. This could be fun.
Working on the XII right now...very nice but learnt my lesson before with Airfix. Test fit ad infinitum.

I wish they'd pantograph the XII down to 1/72............

They re-released the existing Stirling kit recently - is it the box art for that?

There's Tiger Moth artwork in there as well. Is this the speculated new 1/24 kit (my money's on a Hawk BTW)

With after-market engines, you could fly it to work... 

[Army of One]

It's none of the above.......coz it's a magical trio in 1/24 each for less than £20....Mi24 Mi28 and Ka50....!!!!

Damn it your right.. That one slipped under the radar..

Back to guessing... And hoping for a new Victor...

My money would be on a 1/24 Tiger Moth too. Matchbox stole their thunder a bit with the 1/32 version and it's not THAT huge in 1/24, smaller than their Spitfire, Mustang and Harrier and it's BRITISH too.
