I'll wait till 4D decals come out I reckon. Why only go half way......?  ;)

I'd say that the stencil decals for modern military aircraft are 4D as it takes so bloody long to apply them all.
;D ;D

I'm in agreement with you there Jon.  Stenciling a Phantom certainly affects the perceived passage of time...

I once tried to apply all the stencil decals on a 1/32 Tomcat ... I'm amazed the aircraft got off the ground with the weight of all that paint!

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! :)

I've had some kits with transfers so thick they might as well have been 3D.

If they do it for girly noser art, would it be 36D???

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Nice and long-awaited,

My thoughts exactly. Hannants' aren't quoting a price yet.

I've got an old MPM one in the stash, but my RNEIAF could do with a new one

SRP around EUR 25 - 30,-, AFAIK. It's already on pre-order in some online shops.

The Fokker G1.A is showing up at £26.24 on Hannants. I bet it sells out fast.

I'm tempted by their Vickers Valiant in 1/144. What are they like to build?

I am  waiting for the  Armstrong whitworth A.W 52 to be released, A. Because it is different and would  fit in with  my build theme, and B. Because  its a big aircraft that will fit in the small space  on the shelf  I have spare  ;D

I'm building a Mikro-Mir Victor at the moment (at least, parts of one). That's a nice kit: intricate detail, good mouldings, fits well. I've got a Valiant in the stash: this has slightly softer detail than the Victor.

Hannants have  the AW.52 in stock, just short of  £46. It's a  bit steep  for me so hopefully I can  find a better deal somewhere else, as I do like the look of it.
