OK, so where did you get the 20 mm cannon and the turret vacform please?
Aeroclub, the Shackleton MR.2 conversion to be precise ---  ;D

Ah, and I have one of those in The Loft, but I was intending to use it for a Shackleton MR2. Heresy I know, but.......  ;D

I suppose I could build it without the mid-upper, as they removed them later on.

You could always reverse engineer a turret using the Aeroclub one as a basis

I could?  ;D

Having dug it out of The Loft I'm not sure that I could, it's an exquisite bit of white metal and vacform work, a typical John Adams masterpiece. I think the shorter route would be a note to John asking if he could do me a couple more of them, luckily I know him quite well from his very early days in this business.  ;D

Oh yes!  :thumbsup:

What a fabulous kit that is, I hope it didn't cost TOO much!

Cheers, Kit, Revell've just re-released it this month, this release comes with a pre-painted resin figure
of Mickey, Mick is badly painted but the sculpt and moulding look pretty good under the paint.
List is $29.95.

Ooooh, that's interesting!   ;D

If gets to this side of the pond it'll be £30 of course, but my built one got squashed when I moved down from Derby in the 80s and it was OOP then, so it'd be nice to replace it.

Do you know if they're re-popping some of their other 60s era car kits too? I'd love to get the Tony Nancy 22 Jr duo kit again! I saw him run the 22 Jr dragster over here in UK in 1964.

Three weeks to get from London to Coventry?! :unsure:
I could have walked there and home again in that time...  :rolleyes:

Have fun with those kits Trevor!

Some Ventura transfers for P-40's. From the Big H, ordered Friday arrived today and that was 2nd Class  :thumbsup: They won't be going on a P-40
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I'd keep an eye out for a Revell Germany Classics release as on the packaging it states 'Plastic parts molded in Poland'. Along with 'Packaged in the USA', 'Printed in China', 'Tires molded in China', 'Decal printed in Italy'.  ;D  ;D

The Tony Nancy 22 jr dual kit was re-released last year, or late the previous, and is in the current Revell catalog:

I've seen it in two of the three shops here in Everett.
