  1. I have one of the books

     

    Great profiles but they are all one sided I think so often a bit difficult to really model from them, especially as they are *just* profiles and do not have accompanying photo evidence

     

    Still slightly suspicious - there is a Hartmann profile based in Czech which I can recall I could find little other evidence for...

  2. fantastic work as always Mike!

     

    i am surprised the kits seem to be 'fighting' you a bit, though I haven't built the Revell yet so cannot speak from experience

     

    i cannot recall, have you used any of the AMUR Reaver 109 upgrades yet?

     

    I was thinking of using this one for the erla Hartmann build

    thanks again for another masterclass

  3. i am one of the many 'cancelees' i think - switched to LuckyModel way back and my Mossie just arrived yesterday (surface mail)

     

    it took a (very) long while, but the price was stupid cheap - nothing has come close that i had access to in the UK

     

    i am unlikely to use HLJ again for anything to be honest:

    messing me around with shipping dates, prices that aren't the best once you factor in shipping AND most importantly of all for me in UK, they always put full value on the package, so i get stiffed on customs

    i realise this is not HLJ's fault per se, but it will drive me to use other vendors who are more laissez faire in their attitudes

     

    on a more positive note, the Tamiya kit is fantastic!!

  4. i asked a simple question - whether it 'matters' or not depends upon one's view

     

    given I asked the question, a reasonable assumption is that it matters to me - at least enough to want to know

     

    i agree the kit looks good in the box...

     

    "If you're asking does the new KH P-39 kit match the length given from published Manufacturer's dimensions when reduced to 1/32nd scale, then the answer seems to be "No." "

     

    thank you Steve!

  5. hi

     

    is there a definitive answer to the 'is it too short? question that I have seen mentioned on a number of other sites?

     

    the special hobby kit is said to be short by a chunk, and i have seen various comparisons of sprue shots between this new kit and the SH one...with different conclusions!

     

    any ideas?

     

    thanks

  6. visit Cambridge / Oxford / or Bath

     

    the first two for the university architecture - you will see nothing like it anywhere (I mean anywhere)

     

    Cambridge is smaller, prettier and I think the Eagle pub in centre of town has a room out back dedicated to WWII airmen - lots of crew wrote their names in soot on the ceiling with candles etc, and they preserved it all with lacquer

    you can also go punting - done it lots in Cambridge round 'the backs' (backs of the colleges)

     

    Bath - stunning Georgian architecture and small enough city that you and family can get around it on foot

    home to a top rugby team as well (i am biased!)

     

    Scotland...hmmm - you've got all that scenery where you are and more

    go there if you like whisky or a bitter people that hate the English

     

    if you have time to spare happy to have a beer with you in my local - you can inspect the He111 prop blade that hangs on the wall...

     

    have a great trip!
