Id say go fot it Kit. At those prices its a bargain for the amount of resin involved.

And the quality of the casting.  I have one of his CN-235 Persuaders as well - the Mexican one.  Very nice indeed.  Pity the instructions come in Spanish though.  He has kindly supplied me with a Google Translation which isn't too bad and he has pictures on his website of how to assemble the model, as well.

Speaking of resin kits........................
Direct from Anigrand, one VFW-Fokker VAK-191B arrived this morning

And not speaking of resin.....................
Via the big H, one A Model Beechcraft 2000 Starship.

Arrived today from our very own Colin Freightdog and in 1/72 scale,

1 x Freightdog Corrected Harrier GR3 tail

1 x Freightdog Blue Eric ECM pod

Both of the above for a Falklands war Airfix Harrier GR3.

1 x High Planes Dassault Mirage 50EV nose and refuelling probe.

No idea what to do with this as I have no plans at the moment to build what its for  :blink:

Arrived today from Stormfront Models (i.e. Deathjester):

2 x 1/72nd scale ESCI Kamov Hokums (the whiff-in-a-box tandem seater) for £13 inc really quick postage.

I now have four Hokums and four of the equally gloriously innaccurate Havocs, so what to do with a fleet of non-existent helicopters? Paint them black and start making crop cricles maybe.........?  ;)

1 x 1/72 FROG McDonnell Phantom F-4KorM. Mint in the box, bag not opened and even the box is in very good shape. Probably going to make the F-4(HL) version from this much to the horror of several JMN's no doubt.  :thumbsup:

It would be easier to use the old Matchbox kit. Ive build three HL's so far using the Matchbox toom.

why not do them as i think the indian AF did some of its earliest display alouette helos with mods to make them look a little like flying elephants in the 1960's?

as for the crop circles idea..... i like that one quite a bit. it would make a funny and interesting diorama.
