The 1/144 scale Airfix kits I have here can all be traced back to Trumpeter (by checking catalog numbers on the sprues and identical flaws), however I do not have the MiG-27 kit.
Oddly the 1/144 kits that Heller (who was a sister company to Airfix in those days, sharing the same...

I must say, it's BEAUTIFUL !!! And I can only hope to come close to what you have achieved, should somebody produce another kit Neptune kit... (Have any more pix???)

Thank you for sharing your ART. No matter how old the build is.

One potential solution would be to buy 'pre-owned' kits, or to liaise directly with some retailers. I suspect that in acquiring their stock of Russian-made kits, the money has already gone to Putin. Said retailers may now find themselves with stock they cannot shift and, at...

Indeed.
I notice that even the likes of Revel have ceased playing in twelve-squared, barring a few tubes. :(
Italeri dipped the toe back in 2015, with their crude ATR and haven't done more.

Ta.
It is...look for 'Flying Bases' on eBay, for example.

So it’s resin and it’s 1/144 and so is possibly not everyone’s cup of char and that is, indeed, a great shame. With a little care, most modellers would be able to create this cool little jewel of a jet and not impact significantly on the limited shelf space.
For those of you who...

More black diversity. The Ka-50 is such an intriguing little beastie. And thanks again for introducing me to . I suspect there's still remnants of easels spread about England's green and pleasant land. ;)

Nice work, Merlin. Got one of these somewhere is the depths of the stash that I must build as a mount of the famous Night Witches.

Another golden oldie! Loving the semi-retracted undercart! :mrgreen:

This has come up beautifully. And another dazzling cockpit, too! :mrgreen:

Every time I see lovely builds like this, I curse that my self-imposed rule on building modern aircraft is restricted to those that served with our Aussie Defence Forces, which automatically precludes the Harrier. :cry:

That's come up a treat! :mrgreen:

The Eduard 109F were reborn under the , as was . However, the rebirth was fairly short-lived and the kits are now OOP. Probably the main area where there was a significant difference between the Eduard/Mark I Friedrich and its Sweet...

Neat little Rafale, Merlin. And yes, I've had those days when I look and suddenly there's a gaping hole the size of the Grand Canyon that I could have sworn wasn't there the previous day! :shock:

Very timely revisit with Angus recently finishing his Strat for the Minicraft GB. :D

That is certainly one standout paint scheme and well worth the wait! I reckon the kit stacks up well for something that was just shy of 60 years old. And all your tweaks further improved the finished beastie. :mrgreen:

PS. Turned out we didn't quite have enough UV radiation...

Grat done and fantastic paint job

Never seen the B35 built up. Certainly comes up a treat and I can see why it was so sought after in the days prior to the Mossie finally getting attention from the bigger manufacturers. :D

PS. Nice little rundown on the at the De Havilland Aircraft Museum in Hertfordshire....

Hey, I know your uncle. He's the one who keeps sending me emails asking if I can send him money so he can assume his rightful place on the Nigerian throne. At that point, he will return the gesture and make me rich beyond my wildest dreams. :P

No problem...Ace Corp got it wrong.
