Wow! That Saturn V is going to be HUGE!

I had a couple of surprises.
First off my girlfriends brother and wife got me this


And after dropping hints most of the year to my partner that I wanted a Wingnut Wings kit, any kit, I was very excited as to what she would get me. The first present should have given me a hint as to what was coming next.


I dread to think how much it has cost but I'm really excited about it and I can tick something off my bucket list.

Are there none flying in Turkey? Keep a look out you might one day get the chance. It's going to be a lot of fun!
And yes this is the new tool kit. I haven't made a start yet but it looks to be quite good and has nicely detailed cockpits unlike the older kit.
I can post some pics of the sprues if you want to have a look.

Naa, as far as I remember we never had Moths, Magisters only. I saw Cubs flying a few times, well once even hovering. I really would be rather happy to see a Tiger Moth or even a Kaydet flying.
If it won't be a big trouble it would be marvelous. I am searching for the kit but couldn't see any yet in Turkish Airfix suppliers.

Not a problem. I'll get some pics shot tomorrow after work.

Yalym, haven't been able to get any decent pics. Not for lack of trying though. I think the lighting conditions were just bad for photo's tonight.
Anyway to I have found a link of a review of the civilian boxing. The plastic is the same in each boxing. Pity Airfix didn't just do the one boxing with both options.
http://www.hyperscale.com/2014/reviews/kits/airfixa01024reviewmd_1.htm

I'd agree 100% with this review. It's certainly the best of the new Airfix toolings that I have seen so far. Well worth getting then they finally appear on your shops shelves.

You haven't seen the Fw.190 A-8 or the Tempest I presume:} Thanks this was relly helpful and yes I think I am ordering one tomorrow from Jadar:}
Warren, sorry I couldn't understand what you mean by your message. Handicap of not being native speaker, sorry.

Come to Canada, we have both

I think that Warren was saying that the Revell (Matchbox) 1/32 Tiger Moth doesn't cost very much more than the 1/72 Airfix one does, and it may be easier for you to find...

Hehehe thanks for the interpretation Jessie. I know one standing on a shelf in one of my favorite shops but I very much doubt it would cost anything near it. 32 one could be a nice 1930s-1950s hired guns diorama with a couple of figures though hmm... Naaa too big for me. I ordered one of the Airfix moths from Jadar yesterday. Let's see when will it arrive and furthermore when will I do it?
