Funny Mike I bet that is jut what Dave wanted

and who is doing a injection mould 234???

Nice What decal set is that? Particularly interested in the Geschwader insignia...

nice to see this build back Frank, and sorry for your NMF woes it does seem a real PITA doesn't it?!

Wow - they weren't joking when they said flying pancake were they?!

Lovely looking bird!

Interesting (and sorry for your financial pain) Does your post office charge you for collecting the government's money though? We may have you there!

Simple, but very sharp Looking good!

Looks awesome! Do you have any images yet of the hi tech resin bits etc? Many thanks Nick

Did you order from Volks? LuckyModel sell the 219 as well for those not wishing to enrich our governments further

just as an fyi, i am now in contact wit Joe at Scale Precision and things are going swimingly!

Interesting stuff on the Maketar site about kabuki vs vinyl In a nutshell they say vinyl for small precision stuff but kabuki for large masks, because vinyl shrinks My montex masks have shrunk a tiny bit, but my AdAstra ones have shrunk so much that they are unusable. Would be interested in Radu Brinzan's input here, especially as he is launching a new mask range...

So I guess it is now officially in circulation? Price £39.99 I think... Anyone else seen it in stock elsewhere?

Nice finish But what a funny looking airframe - never noticed the tail fin sits behind the tail plane... Makes it look as though it could fly backwards or something! Thanks for sharing Nick

Thanks Rick! Will drop him a line. Now that Maketar don't do custom jobs, and AdAstra have gone dark as far as I can work out, he is the only game in town for custom masks. Hence I guess you can be a bit more blasé about service... Will let you know how I get on... Cheers again Nick

stunning results! just browsing his site now actually http://shop.maketar.com/store/aircraft-insignia-markings-132/ shame he says no more custom jobs i do like his desert Ju87 D though! btw how did the vinyl go over those cannon bumps? your results are awesome, but i am not convinced about vinyl on compound curve surfaces - was it difficult? cheers Nick edit: just looked for the masks you used but could not find them - got a link? i went through the whole 1/32 list but could not see any Spitfire camo masks

hi guys have emailed then via their website (always hate doing that - never sure it gets through) http://www.scaleprecision.com/index.html but no answer after 3 days @Moeggo / Dave... I know you rave about them so want to give them a go, but not even a reply just to acknowledge and i am a trifle disappointed i have a prepared file i want to email them / share with them via DropBox got any "real" contact details (anyone)? looked on Facebook but their name is too generic for me to find them if they are there cheers guys Nick

funny on the timing huh?

it's a great way to get a decent kit same price as a Tamiya 'Stang? that seems good value to me

Back in stock but not many left... Great value if you like the 152 Would post link but difficult on phone; can be found under manufacturer 'super wings series' I think - but don't hold me to that! Cheers Nick

ok, Google really IS your friend (unless I suppose you used to work for Lycos or some other extinct search engine, but I digress) PMMS is a one man band run by Terry Ashley as much as i think some of my armour reviews are pretty good, TA is the benchmark against which I and all other armour reviewers should be measured against he is also THE fastest on the planet for AFV model news i have these on perma bookmark news http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/newkitnews.html new reviews http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/whatsnew.htm by manufacturer (probably the weakest of the sections, but still pretty good) http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/revafv.htm and by vehicle type http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/subject.htm knock yourself out!

MK are also renowned for falling apart just for looking at them the wrong way excellent in detail, yes, but I would suggest not for anyone uncomfortable with indie links, or a small budget Fruils have got a lot better in recent years, even though i am not their biggest fan, but, if you have the budget.... THE best tracks i have seen up close and personal are those by Masterclub of Russia they make a fairly decent sized range of injection mould, indie link tracks I reviewed a few of their T-34 tracks: http://scaleplasticandrail.com/kaboom/index.php/all-things-military-vehicle/135-scale/aftermarket-items/1171-135-t-3476-stz-550mm-early-type-tracks-by-masterclub difference here is that the track pins are all perfectly moulded - and therefore correct - and separate, and no drilling out holes bs like you get with Fruils they also have a fledgling range, but in metal - these are mega pricey and I would suggest probably not great value vs their plastic sets... biggest problem they have is distribution - they are tough to find with a mediocre website; i order direct from Russia - bit quirky, but no problems ultimately hth

your paints are waaaaay more organized than mine!

Rog I was on train before hence brevity of reply! Anyway, you will want to check out PMMS - from memory Terry has done some of usually high standard, in depth reviews of tracks for 251s and the like...
