  1. Remind us who is doing the Do335 again?
  2. Ben makes a good point: you can model a WWII version from what I understand with their conversion bits? Exciting stuff! Did you get to speak to them at all? Thoughts on 'Mossiegte'??
  3. I believe our Facebook page has some pictures
  4. Thanks for the heads up Presume this is an inter war tank?
  5. Alclad primer: that'll explain it! Have used it but never really rated the stuff Rattle can Mr Surfacer is superior in every respect (save price?) in my experience I still think you can save things though - it's a really great looking project
  6. Detail: the kit ones have a serious error in how they are set up Can't post pics at moment but believe me Revell goofed GFactor ones will make weight issue irrelevant too, but personally I would buy them for accuracy as much as strength To each his own of course
  7. What on earth is a shine??
  8. Oops Explain again: what primer and paint are you using??
  9. TRUMPETER PLEASE!!!
  10. And are happy to auction off a body part / vital organ to get them
  11. looking good not sure if you know, but gFactor has released metal gear for this kit -they had them in at Sprue Bros, but not sure they have hit elsewhere yet i understand you are happy with it as it is, but thought you might as well have the heads up and all that
  12. Wow what a beast of a combination! Fantastic Thanks for sharing
  13. gear is already out of stock at hannants (doh) but hopefully Eduard will be churning them out! http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ED632021 have to say that £27 plus postage for a 109 cockpit is just too much imho http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ED632022 but each to his own...
  14. he he I take your point, but for Brett the hobby IS his business, so I can understand his actions, even if personally i don't agree with them anyway, out of interest, does anyone know if a similar panel of (hopefully not be ignored this time) experts has been assembled for the forthcoming Spitfire kit?
  15. I thought I would pick up on this point because 1) our guys put a lot of effort into the 109 review, and 2) since the removal was brought up, it deserves a bit of explanation for those not on our Staff Team: Quite simply BG saw it as a threat to the income stream of both Hyperscale and ADH Publishing It is a bit sad that modellers who go on Hyperscale think they are getting 'the full picture' when in reality they are only getting what BG and the HS team want them to see BUT I will say that Hyperscale is Brett's and he can act as he sees fit to protect his financial interest, so I can't really berate him for that. I will take issue with the excuses that are made for him in this regard though. Ultimately, our review guys should be flattered that HS and ADH clearly thought it was good enough to be a threat
  16. Interesting thread guys Fwiw I think Revell have quite literally made up that 5% figure and I will continue to hold that view until some from Revell (or connected with them) shows us how they came to it I do think we on the forums are a tiny and as regards buying power goes insignificant minority certainly in 1/48, but in 1/32 maybe not? For Revell in a mainstream subject then yes I would still think so. But for say Zoukei mura maybe not so much? Of course I don't know this - just my gut feel
  17. No you are not alone But I hate to say that if you are an accuracy nut, then the 'let then prove me wrong' type defence won't normally help you... God knows I wished it helped me!!
  18. Waaaay overpriced What are Eduard on? For that money it needs to be pretty much perfect Personally, I am far more interested in the white bronze landing gear for the Revell 109 Anyone notice these??? This is a far more significant release for both Eduard and us modellers: SAC are generally crap / aspire to mediocrity; GFactor are great but bloody expensive and difficult to find If Eduard's stuff is any good, it could be a massive boost I trust we will be getting a couple of these sets for our 109 experten to review?
  19. Hi Yes can be confusing can't it! Hope the review is of use Cheers Nick
  20. Nice one - looking forward to this
