Belated happy birthday Rowan. That is a very interesting aircraft- I first saw it last week in Michał Sindera's show report:

Cheers Ben

I'll be delighted if my build turns out as well as that beauty! I've just opened the box, and the tail struts look quite daunting...

I'll review the kit once I get some sample-reviews written up and published.

All the best

Rowan

Good evening everyone!

First off, Happy (belated) Birthday Rowan

these actually showed up the day fore, but I had to learn how to post pictures here.
Many thanks to Edoardo and Eetu.

So, Monograms' Visible B-17G for an AMS project, Tamyia's Spitfire Mk V for the John Gillespie McGee project, needed various paints (MM Acrylic and Tamyia mini's) and a display case for the Spit.

Hi all
Just received these in the post. The Air Data 1 BAe Hawk and 2 Panavia Tornado are excellent.

The Alclad ll is something I have wanted to try and I thought it would be good for the TF-104 I am planning on doing for the century series campaign. But I will try it out before then.

Hi again

Well, I've treated myself to two kits for the month and one has arrived today:



Now I just need Postie to deliver the Wingnuts RNAS Pup and I'll be a very happy fellow.

All the best

Hi Rowan . Nice pusher you have there . Will be looking forward to the review on the kit . I have the LoneStar vac kit of the F.B.12c and this one will fit right in with unusual pushers

What type and what calibre is the machine-gun in the front

Hi Nick

The "COW (Coventry Ordnance Works) gun" was a 37mm cannon developed in WW1 and used in various forms as late as the 1040s.

All the best

Karo-As Fw 187 - can somebody tell me more about what kits Karo-As might have produced ? more to the point, as rather crude looking short-run injection..is it 'buildable'..?

I haven't used it yet but I know that it is a gel type, slow dry cyanoacrylicate glue that doesn't leaves fumes

But it's a bit pricey, I bought it here in Greece 5.90 Euro

Hi Steffen
What a fantastic range of products you have there, that Osterhasse deserves a extra helping of carrots. I have not heard of the MarkI Guide Spitfire Mk.22-24, are you doing a review? if not can you give a brief description.
Many tanks

Hi Steffen
Thanks very much for the info, I have put the link for 4+ publications on my favorites. Seems a great idea adding a decal sheet with the publication. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Steffen

What a wonderful bundle of goodies! I'm really looking forward to the BR.20M when it comes out.

Meanwhile, it's been a totally dismal day here with torrential rain - but things brightened up considerably when Postie delivered a fantastic package of samples from Eagle Editions:



The Dora Vol. 2 book is something I've really only been able to to dream of until I find a job, so I could hardly believe my eyes when I opened the parcel! A huge thank you to Judy and Jerry Crandall!

All the best

Rowan
