It wouldn't be a huge leap from the Blenheims to a Beaufighter, and a nice alternative to the much-pricey Hasegawa kits. Fingers crossed as I need all incentives going to switch to 1/72 ;D.

B Mustang and a Strikemaster or F-84 type.

Mohawk and A-37 ;D. Probably a Strikemaster though.

Nope. The one with tip tanks is supposed to have a prop....

For a short moment I thought it looked like it was a twin and immediately thought of Cessna 310/U-3.
However I now think I was too overcome with excitement to be correct.  :banghead:

Lovely looking aeroplane, and if it's by Lift Here it'll be good too.  :thumbsup:

I'm surprised no-one else has suggested a Corsair for the clue on the 9th - take a look at the lower wing, to me it looks like there's a gull there.
I think the paper over the prop is triangular, implying that it's a 3-blade one, not the Corsair's 4-blader.
The -1 Corsairs would like a word about that!!  ;)

Interesting one today...not sure which one of those would be a Wildcat though! Mustang on the left (but they;ve already released the D so maybe it is a razorback?) and it does look like a Strikemaster/JP....oh the anticipation!

Re the Beau - of course, I was thinking 1/48. A cheaper alternative to Hase would be great too!

...AND it would be nice if someone had the brains to produce an early Beau with the flat tailplanes, towel-rail and short exhaust stubs. I'm not so fond of the later dihedral variants.

Looks like a new Stuka in the Advent calendar, so that ties in with the BoB 75th and replacing their classic kits  :thumbsup:

Another clue today on the 18th

Wildcat perhaps for one, but the other ?




Wildcat and JP I reckon.

Be nice to see.

Anyway the Blenheim Mk IV is out at Hanants.

I'll order after Xmas, waste of time now, unless the MZ/WHS in Croydon gets it in before then which is unlikely.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I saw some Mk IVs in Boswells in Oxford today, so they have reached the real world too.

I didn't see a Mk I or I'd have got one, instead I got another fabric wing Hurricane so I can start on a second Hawker Cyclone to replace the missing one!

Is the Blenheim Mk.IV the old tool, Hannants has it as just arrived but the notes don't say it's 'new tool'
If I'm not building models, I'm out riding my dirtbike

The Wooksta!

New tool.  Totally.
