    Very common name that 😀

    It's not on their website ....my guess.....hypy- hype mc hype. ... Discontinue it for 6 months , bring it back at a hiked price assuming those who can't live without will rush to buy ....rinse and repeat. They have the gall to charge £50 - £60 for a 50 year old tooling Spitfire/ Hurricane....my guess they will be still dragging out the Hellcat tooling in 2068... Their pricing far outmatches their product IMHO, even though I'm the target market. Be interesting to see 20 years from now , when the "nostalgic for 1970's" crew have packed in modelling if the younger generation will still be interested in Aiflups , or if Dragon will be releasing vintage classics .

    Or cut off the individual teeth on the inner sprocket where they are covered by the track so it fits and you don't see misfit . Done that trick before !

    I blame "Bleeping Jeep" for building this purple thang ...great drive, drank like an alcoholic at a free bar . Nice IL6 engine

    I tend towards Fruilmodel from CZ though they announced this summer they are shutting down . You can still find their stuff on eBay eg Just an example

    YouTube - vice grip garage / mustie/ real car reviews etc will soon get you up to speed with American car kultur & fox bodies mustangs are a bit marmite in my opinion …..just to work a UKism in there 😄

    Lovely old ship the Rusty B . This is me on the starboard side of theisland as she steamed into Pompey for the last time 27th March 1981 😀

    Found rather than got in the post. Amongst my fathers papers... some large photographs that he used to get for me whilst on board from the PR office. These all date from his time on Bulwark R08 , '71-71 and '79-81. Nice references for when I get around to both my Wessex and ( yes I guess I'll have to buy one🙄 ) Airfix Sea King. The Airfix release is for a different aircraft in the same 826 squadron earlier when they were on Eagle , this pic from 1980 when they were briefly on Bulwark , but only a few masks away from this one .

    999 is a place holder I'm guessing as it is the price of everything . Even though it got a bad rep I'd like a GR1 Jag , as the only other option is the Heller/Airflup one , which I've built and is ancient .

    Have you seen a Chinese firm has apparently taken over the KH moulds ? Zimi Model

    Curious , the AFV club Centurion provides a real metal spring for the suspension units, I see Hobbyboss doesn't. TBH it's makes little difference on the AFV club one other than a very limited movement. Tamiya's old MK3 clunker had it all as one moulded lump . Are you using the plastic individual tracks or going metal ? Personally find the metal tracks a lot easier to work with than glueing single links together. +1 for Scotchbright - absolutely great for removing the odd glue fingerprint as well I find 😀

    👍 It looks simple enough , but then it is just a stick with wings IRL . Might throw a resin seat at it to cheer it up a bit . Last 104 I did was a Revell 1980's 1/32 a long time ago . That one had 8 ...maybe 10 parts from memory.

    Not built a Starfighter for a while, this will be a NMF I reckon ....& shades of Bob Calvert from my youth .

    Thats is a pretty special P38 , congratulations .

    In the UK a microlight is defined as being under 450kgs ...a Sopwith Camel with guns came in at 500kgs ...crazy

    That came out great , I love the paint fading effect , and all the masking paid off well . Lovely result. I've got the doggy old Revell IB 1/32 to get around to one day , 🫣
  20. PanzerWomble
    Awesome , thanks !!!!

    Yes... I couldn't wait .....and yes ....very reminiscent of Tamiya's old Chieftain for fit and detail .

    It's about the only armour you can drive single handed on UK roads without drama, although cameras are advisable . A Fez should do 40 ... Did watch a bloke and his wife reverse their Ferret into a Landrover once and then try legging it . She claimed she didn't notcie, which at 4 tons is probably valid.

    I'm a little out of touch but last time I looked they were £8-10K. I passed on one without an engine about 6 years ago that was £1500 ...which would have been ideal had I had the space at that time , as the plan was to fit a 300tDi and autobox out a Discovery . I met some fellas who had done this conversion before , giving a higher torque , same (ish) rev range so the speed is similar , but with quadrouple the MPG. Just didn't have the workshop space at that point. Link to said machine PS I lusted after a Stalwart for about ten years , but again it's where to put it .
