QuoteHi guys.  Been out of town the last week with friends from the UK (anybody know Phil Cater?).  Going to a show on Saturday then off to Seattle for a week.  But for the show........doing a SAAF Victor.  Started on Tuesday night.  Filler, cleanup and hopefully some piant tonight with tomorrow final paint and maybe decals.  Will have pics after the show.  Too busy now to post them!  Same for the Scooters.  More later!
So your the one Phil was going on about at the Brampton show, LOL  Tell him Martin of the SAAF Victor and TSR-2 said hi.

U didnt happen to be in Phils little group of friends being shown round the Midland Air museam last november?  if so we have met :)
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

The Books are VERY sexy!  I need to do a fleet of F1s and Havards!

In that case, before any other wise guy says it. U have my deepest condolences for suffering such a fate LOL.

Nice scooters btw.

Would we say any such thing about our glorious leader????
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Don't I know it, a few Impala Mk. 1's and Mk. 2's would be spiffy as well as a CHS-2 Rooivalk...and a turbo Dac!

The list could get quite long!

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

How about some Impala Mk.3's and Mk.4's (MB.339A and K respectively)?

I know I can find the 339A in 1/48 is there anyone who makes the K? But yes that would be awesome :D

In 1/48?  I don't think so; you'd have to use the cannon bulges from a MB.326K and a MB.339A.  Since the contours are unchanged around the cockpit, it wouldn't be a difficult conversion.  I do know that the MB>339K does exist in 1/72.
