Where do you see all these please?

Colin's site only shows the Single Pin, the Twin Pin and the 146s.
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! :)

The seller is Engine 748 on eBay,  he hasn't got the twin on his page.

Engine 748 is Dave Little. When the pandemic started his engineering day job stopped making his only income the Combat range, not having his own website he chose to sell on ebay by auction for the time being for maximum exposure. The Marathon is new, its based on the Magna original but much improved (the Magna original masters for this one were actually very good, carved from wood old style, I saw them a couple of years ago when we met up at SMW, before they got tidied up).

Whole range is now made in the UK which is why they are quite expensive, including the decals, white metal and etch where applicable. The EAP was in my Silver Cloud range, Dave took it over a few months back. 

He is hoping the next release will be the Blackburn Beverley.

Thanks,
Colin

A BRISTOL Beverley?  :o

That's a new one, or should it be Blackburn perhaps?  ;)

And if that's 1/72 it'll be a) big b) HEAVY and c) EXPENSIVE!

Sorry Kit, I've got Bristol's on the brain, too many carry on films over Christmas. I stand corrected as Blackburn Beverley, unless of course its a whif.....

Yes its 1/72, its heavy and its going to expensive, but cheaper than the Hawker Belfast!

MMMMMMMM. 1/72nd scale Beverley.  I  would  have  to give it plenty of coats of varnish  as it would have to live  outside.

Combat Kits do sell the 1/72 Blackburn Beverly C.1 at £170 + £16 postage comes with decals. These can be sold separately if you have the vacuum kit or the Magma kit.  :thumbsup:

The 1/72 fly-by-wire Jaguar has been added to the collection.

Would that be the Magna Models Belfast Alistair ?  I've got one of those in the stash, did you know it's as big as the Airbus A400M

Yes they are. There is white metal for the undercarriage as well I believe. I simply bought the kit for the stash with my bonus knowing that I was not going to build it for a while so takeing the parts out of the box for the picture earlier today was the first time the parts have been out of the box since they were shipped to me. Must buy some more filler before I start it just incase.
