Hi Ben,

Your new airbrush looks nice Jean-Luc- I see it is made by the same company that makes the Premi-air G35 that is sold here. Do you like 0.2mm nozzles? Do you use it for general work, or only details and edges?
I use it for everything except gloss paint and Klir (Future). The 0.2mm nozzle is perfect for 1:48 scale stuff.
Wow Raj, that's quite a collection of books!
Paul, it looks like a nice conversion. How many did it cost? I'm looking forward to see your build log. If you are a slow builder, maybe I'll join you later with my Fw190 S-5 trainer project...

Better think one hour and build five minutes...

Hi there
I had to go up to London yesterday, so that obviously meant also visiting the shops to stock up with important provisions!
Sadly (although perhaps not for my wallet!), I managed to catch Hannants on totally the wrong day, with almost no new kits in stock that interested me, but I picked up the Reppu for basically 1/2 price and got the Spit for Review purposes at the RAF Museum's shop.
Probably the most exciting find was ironically the cheapest - some out-of-production Letraset ink, which was on sale in an art shop. The stuff has long been a favourite of mine - very thin, but really opaque. I thoroughly recommend you grab some if you spot it.
All the best
Rowan

Hi Chuck
I know the Reppu was an extravagance... but it was so cheap - and it needed a good home!
Actually, my will-power did triumph - I managed to resist the lovely PCM Hurricane Mk. 1! I was sorely tempted, but I knew I can't afford it.
All the best
Rowan

Hi again
Postie for real this time, with an exciting package from Eduard, via Jean-Luc:
The etched sets (1:72 Bf 109G and Canberra) are to Review - the Dora is far more daunting... Jean-Luc and I are going to do a dual-build to show off some of the different options and markings! So - one of Aeroscale's slowest modellers trying to keep up with possible the fastest (not to mention most talented!)... it could be hilarious!
All the best
Rowan

Oh yeah, Regia Aeronautica, my favorite Airforce
Also mr. Rowan, the Dora is very nice
A question: The detail sets as I can see, the one is for BF-109 but the other

Hi Andy
You know, amazingly (or shockingly!), we haven't got a review of this beauty - nothing at all! Do you fancy writing us something to fill a rather gaping hole?
All the best

Well a mix of postman and show goodies.
Notice the P-47 and decals, I don't know I sit down with our Nige for half hour at the show next thing I know I've gone and brought a T'bolt and planning others.
Next the decals that come with the Typhoon book which I got in 1/144 as that way I can make several
