Rowan, let us know how those scribers work.
I like the looks of the Morane.

Hi Bob
I will do. In the meantime, here's my take on Radu's original Scribe-R.
The only thing I'd add to the Review in hindsight is that the serrated back of the blade has turned out to be an almost indispensable part of my tool-kit - I use it on almost every build when restoring panel lines across seams etc.
All the best

Modeling funds are a bit scarce now, but... Are there any US distributers for the scribers?

Hi Mark
I've seen some of Radu's detail sets available in other on-line stores, but not the tools. I think most people buy direct from his own site: http://www.radubstore.com/.

Picked up this one yesterday. Once again no postman but does it really matter
I might go and pick up the Mirage III C version tommorow. Can't beat 22 bucks a kit I guess especially when there is no shipping cost.

Gotta keep your eyes open and your wallet full.
I need a new set of glasses and a full wallet.

Ahhh, I was hoping for collections of dead green presidents. Moths and queens don't spend well near here.

Well the postie has finally remembered where I live with a parcel from France ( thanks Jean-Luc ) with review samples from MPM.
The camo schemes on both these planes are interesting to do .

Andy, the A-20 is a favorite of mine but, I do not know much about the Breda Ba.88. I will be watching to see when you do the build.

I'll try to do it as soon as possible but the only time when I can do some photos is the weekend - and this weekend I will be on the model festival making a report for Kitmaker. It's gonna be busy time for me. Anyway my intention is to examine the parts and write something till saturday and prepare everything for uploading on monday.

Hi all
today I got these two sets .. that was quite an expensive delivery. I had to pay 25,95 for each set (despite what stands on the label!) but p&p was o.k with 3,50 Euro.
Waiting for another delivery that shall be quite exciting ... Samples from the last months ... I'll keep you updated
