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!!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the car there? ... Looks like it might be an R32 from the shape of the flared guards and front end?? Rog 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, R32 GT-R. It's the Fujimi 1/12 kit that was reissued a couple years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 17, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got the He219 back on the bench as of last night so will be getting back to that one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
