Both exceptionally good. I’ve been back several times. I love the Avro. Very thunderbirds. Wish I’d got hold of this kit when it was available.

Have to edit the scans a bit, but I'll have them up by the end of the week. Gotta love the tail on the Privateer ... ginormous when contrasted with the rest of the plane. :o

The moment I looked at the site, something rang alarm bells. Weird name? Canada? Professional-looking site? Prices seemingly too good to be true? Then it hit me ... . Browse through my original post ... reported to be a scam. Shortly after I discovered this, the site closed down...

Mike, have you thought about asking Densil if he will sell you the Eagle decals? He has helped me with spare bits many times over the years.

Thanks for the help. I already stole the one from the Valom Texan. The kit isn't good enough to warrant buying another!

I might try and sand one down.

If anyone has any 3D skills, I wonder if we could get a selection printed out?

I also have quite a few of Mr Parker's vehicles. The Jaguar Mk X is particularly nice. I shall try to take some photo's later, although none are painted up yet.

cheers,

Mike

Very nice. I bought one of these also and just tested it last weekend (very, very loud!).
First two attempts were a fail but the third one worked ok.
I am also interested in any hints on how to best use it and how to prepare the master for forming. The attempt that worked best...

I agree, Miguel. It's sometimes a lottery as to the history of an F-Toys' release. More often than not, it is them and them alone, but the occasional issue - particularly early on - had its origins elsewhere.

As to those auction prices, I'm not surprised by the Shinden. Of Wing...

Say no more! :D

Firstly, a big welcome to the forum! ;)

It is always a balancing act for wargaming versus modelling ... price versus detail. I am always quite amazed at the money some wargamers fork out to build their armies and air forces. As an example, take the Flames of War range. Whilst...

Kit pricing can be very random.

Even Eduard, their Czech Spitfire 4 set sells for the same price as their two-packs. Ditto their 4 part Avia 534 sets.

I also build 1/35 figures and you can get packs of a dozen figures for the same price of one or two, even from the same...

Thanks for the replies- he found some!

I've got my hotel booking for Telford and models built for both my clubs.......waiting to hear.

Nice work to get the surface finish so smooth!

It's always swing and round a bouts on oricinfbfornHLJ.

Typically imported Eiro/US kits will be more expensive on HLJ than sourcing in their respective home markets. Conversely HLJ will be cheaper for Japanese produced kits.

You see this with Eduard and Mark I and vice vets...

This has been a bugbear for me for ages, potentially spoiling what would otherwise be excellent little models.

I have arrived at a different solution which has worked well for me for the past year or so. Whilst the decals are still a single sheet I use a fine grade sanding...

I grew up within earshot of the De Havilland works in Hatfield. Although by then (the mid 1960s) it had technically been Hawker Siddley for a good number of years it was still known locally as De Havillands.

As a consequence one of my main themes has been De Havilland aircraft...

When I was in marsellie last year, I ended up in a cool bar run by corsican. & (corsicans who had been in the foriegn legion). They where they were Ll very hospital!

Though, it transcend my language skills to understand why a corsican would serve in the legin, but not in the...

Metro is definitely open. they are handling the current restrictions. Interestingly, they seem to have acquired more stock in recent weeks, with the Mark I Bf109G's and Me262's making an appearance. However, at $AUS35 for the Gustav and $AUS42 for the Sturmvogels, not the...

Not fluent in German, so I can't be sure whether they were commenting favourably or insulting each other in a sedate and gentlemanly fashion! Very impressive, indeed. :mrgreen:

Now a challenge for the likes of Toms, F_IV, etc. Build a flying 1/144 Spitfire or Bf109E ... your...

I have read many articles that the Luftwaffe was considering and wanted the F-35. Would have been the correct choice for carrying the B61 nuclear bomb.

But I think the German government want to preserve the industrial base with the Typhoon buy and Super Hornet was selected for...

Thanks for your help, I've already managed to find the help i needed with Marek, I'll post updates on the decals eventually.

Stay safe everyone!!!
