If you know which plane you're building, you may want to look at the Iconicair nose blister. It's the larger nose blister but without the holes that the kit one has.

Yeah I have the HKM Dambuster already - I figured the aircraft were new so no oil canning present on the chastise mission ... I was just waiting on the final market-ready rendition of the WNW Lanc' and the pricing before I made up my mind ... at least Neil might get a solid kick up in sales! - I hope so anyway. Yep ... as soon as I have sorted another few financial bits and pieces I have to invest in a bunch of Iconicair goodies ... and also some crew!! Rog 2

It's got some great 3D images of the plane. It came out in 2018 so hopefully isn't hard to find if you don't have it already. Carl 1

What's the car there? ... Looks like it might be an R32 from the shape of the flared guards and front end?? Rog 4

BlrwestSiR Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 Went to my LHS today. They're open for curbside pickup so I did just that. I caved to Ernie's subtle persuasions and picked up the Ki-45. Going to have to build it with the big nose gun. Carl 8

I've got the He219 back on the bench as of last night so will be getting back to that one. 3

Expand Nice, I got mine three month ago and believe me I know about the smile . You got the new JL, very tempting, but I went for the very last JK edition. Seems we both skipped the Meng offering, though. Cheers Rob 8

It's got the Turbo four cylinder in it and it feels just like the 6cly version! 5

We have different engines here in Europe than the US Jeeps. Cheers Rob 5

Expand When someone says Landover to me, I think of a Series III Defender. Those in Canada are a premium vehicle and are at least 15 years old so it can be imported. A friend has a 110 two door and somehow we once got 8 of us with our mountain bikes all inside it. At least the drive was short. Carl 4
Ryan Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Ahhh the Defender 90, love that vehicle. Too bad restrictions killed it here in the 90's. 5
Wumm Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Army surplus Lando... Just leave 'em in the camo. Plenty on the roads here. 8
Martinnfb Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Army surplus , that makes sense, They come well maintained and cheap, in north America you pay fortune for them, $80000+ CAD easy. 2
