Some more! And the new HPH Hornet:

If you'd asked me last week, I'd say Ho229. If you ask me today I'd say FW189, FW108 and Blenheim.

Hahaha! Great pics you've 'accumulated' Erik! Very nice. I can't compete with my iPhone and trembling hands....

Stay tuned fore more...

And YET another highlight. Presented with a siren and unveiling at the show: The 1/24 scale Typhoon by Airfix. Amazing detail and stress metal skin effect: One more...

And here's another highlight! The 1/32 Meteor F.4 by HK Models. Really nice surface texture. Rivet detail. James Hatch is reviewing and building this kit right now: But lets not forget their giant B-17: LSM had a great meeting with HK Models at the show where James Hatch received the first production run Meteor:

And here are some shots of Iconicair's (www.iconicair.com) coming 1/32 resin Spiteful. We had a great chat with new LSM member Graham French who gave us some great insight in the 3D modeling, tooling and research he has done on the subject. I think we can expect great things from this 'new' brand. The Spiteful was on a turning base, so it was hard to take good pics. Erik Bosch took some as well (with a proper camera) and will post them soon: PS. If you look at Peter Castle's Sea Fury, you'll see a resin RAF Trolley Accumulator. This is actually Iconicair's first release. Available now at: http://www.iconicair.com/kits/

Hi Jamme, I was still busy uploading Here are some pics from the show grounds: Pheon Models and Aviattic with some really cool schemes, models and... original pieces of Lozenge. Wow... Have a look at Peter Castle's (Airscale) Sea Fury. Was nice talking to him at the show and seeing his creation 'grow' over the years It stood on Iain Ogilvie's 32SIG stand: Which also featured Cees Broere's HP 0/400 scratch build project and 1/32 Whitley...

Hi Guys, Just came back from four days of fun and plastic bliss with fellow members Cees Broere, Erik Bosch and Huub. First stop: Midlands Air Museum: Inside a Vulcan! Raining cats and dogs! And another wet nose: Time for drinks! Next stop: Telford model show!

Oh wow.... i have these decals and want to do this scheme. Really nice!! No armament present right?

Dunno if anyone asked, but will you bring this monster to Telford?

Nieuport 28 all the way for me too. A proper Nieuport 17 will be welcome too.

Vought F4U “Corsair” Volume 1 Monograph #52 Tomasz Szlagor / Leszek A. Wieliczko Kagero Books (3052) Available from Kagero for €19,07 This is volume 1 so one or more volumes are on the cards, which is a good thing. The Corsair had a very long service life and was constantly being improved. Although there are only 96 pages, they are filled to the brim with information. There are three chapters with a Bibliography section and appendices. The whole book is very well researched without getting too deep into details. Timing is very good with the recent availability of the early Tamiya Corsair. What's in the book? The origin and development Obviously this deals with the design and development of the Corsair. The text deals with the conception and subsequent testing for service. Although the technical side is very well written it is not too technical. Good photographs showing the various versions and experimental types. The various users of the Corsair do get a mention as well as the difficulties with the Brewster license production. The reviewer never heard the name "Brewster Battler" but that is what Brewster apparently suggested. A two-seat version suggested by Vought is also included. The text also mentions that the Corsair was tested against contemporary US fighters but no reports are given unfortunately. Camouflage and markings Very useful section but dealing only with US Navy service during the period 1942-1945. good text reference to FS-numbers and heights mentioned of lettering and numbers. Also is mentioned whether a color was glossy or matt from the factory. Frontline service The majority of the book is reserved for frontline information in the Solomons and Rabaul theatre of operations from February 1943 to March 1944. The text reads nicely and you get a good idea about what it was like in the Corsair Squadrons. Combat reports give a good feel about the day to day operations. The famous “Black Sheep” Squadron led by Gregory Boyington is very well represented including a combat report of him being shot down in combat. Appendices Here is a summary of technical details about the Corsair such as performance, production statistics and engine specifications. Art work The last 8 pages are reserved for some great artwork of US Navy Corsairs. Pity that the British FAA and RNZAF Corsairs aren’t included. Pros Very readable text Good quality black & white photographs Federal Standard paint numbers Cons No FAA or RNZAF artwork No scale drawings Conclusion A very useful reference book for modellers and those interested in this great aircraft. This volume 1 gives a very good insight into the conception and development of the early Corsair version and the service history. The lack of scale drawings is a bit of a disappointment as these series usually have them included. Maybe we'll see them in Volume 2!

Hi Benjamin, I has a description of the materials and locations and it is also shown in photographs. I does not feature the materials in special drawings however. Regards, Jeroen

Insane!!! Ouch! You just crossed the line from amazing to 'out of this world'.... A whole new level... Respect.

Adding the control linkages. Also included in the Eduard set. I drilled the side walls through an through and added copper rods. Also included in the Eduard set is the open/close lock mechanism. Not added this yet, but I can't believe how complete this set it. You can see the linkage arms next to the seat in this pic: This pic shows the effect on the fuel tanks I'm after. Rough texture and a little bit brownish.

Thnx Grant! And since an empty shackle is just an empty shackle in the end:

Wow! I've seen and held the Halifax fuse at Cees' place a few times. Amazing stuff. Can't believe the speed you maintain though! And quality. wow...

That's it? That's the reason you were 'unavailable' ALL day? Geeez...

Sure! I love to snip the parts from the frames even before I have the kit in.

Wise choice James! So.... anyone else trying to choose a scheme I have dibs on? Hm?? Now start swirling on that cowling! Swiiiiirl! Swiiiiiiiirrll!

James... I'm afraid your Komet will be too little, too late.... Sorry.

Oh wow. Quite amazing. Best Pfalz I've seen in our glorious scale....

Thnx Mike! Here's what i did with the pit today. Not finished yet. Needs some wiring (yellow) and trim wheels, etc.. But I'm liking the sheen on it.

Thnx guys! Following in Jim's foot steps as I go along. Using MDC's Duralumin stams: http://www.modeldesignconstruction.co.uk/mall/productpage.cfm/ModelDesignConstruction/_D32009/52182
