Wheels are too thin, what purports to be internal wing structure is from a Ju 388. The radios are German and in the wrong place.  No cooling fans on the engines and the fit is poor, but still vastly better than the Magna kit.  And the decals are dreadful.

And far easier to build than a vac-formed kit. It's also a typical small production kit with no locating pins.

Be interesting to see if the new 1/144 version has the same issues as it's bigger sibling...

Picked up from the Post Office yesterday:

From BNA;

1 x ET Models 1/35 LVT Water Buffalo Amphibious Vehicle, Tracked Workable Track for AFV CLUB Kit (ET P35-028) - extremely well detailed 3D printed parts, I'll get a couple more sets when they become available.
2 x Gecko Models 1/35 WWII British Landing Craft Assault [LCA] (GEC-35GM0080) - Royal Australian Marines, for the use of.
1 x Gecko Models 1/35 US Army Heavy Type II [M400T] Pallet Forklift (GEC-35GM0030) - useful & may be able to be modified to fit a historical build.
2 x Gecko Models 1/35 Allied Casualties On Stretchers [WWII] (GEC-35GM0049) - can be viewed as either "casualties" or as "people sleeping on stretchers", very useful, again, I'll probably buy more.

From Metro Hobbies;

1 x Airfix Models 1/48 Fairey Gannet AS.1/AS.4 (11007) - Chris ain't wrong, the box is HUGE!!! :o But is, also, packed full of styrene! :thumbsup: - It's entered my Virtual Styrene RAN FAA Museum Collection ('Display", eventually).

Received today from Aerocraft

1 x 1/72 Olympus 301 engine intake upgrade for the Airfix Vulcan. Basically, because I lost some of the parts and made a mess of painting the intake  :banghead:

Received from a Very Nice Man on the Coromandel Peninsula a couple of 1/35 Sherman bits, which will complete the partial kits I had in the spares box, for a couple of Real World builds.

Now I just need the transfers for them, but they are available and on the shopping list.

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

This old Bugatti kit could be very nice if someone could ad two tracks instead of the wheels  .

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
