Now this could tempt me out of Early Aviation for a while. I've always had an affection for this tubby little pugnacious beast sice playing IL2 years ago.
Wonderful to see the parts actually in construction, it's easy to forget the work involved in bringing such gems to us. Something the rivet counters and knockers should think of before whining. (myself included in that too )
I'll be watching for this, Thamks for posting Rowan

I think that any modelling company that decides subject by popular opinion is properly on the right track. Would love to see more following Silver Wings' lead.

Hi again
Nearly there:
The latest word from Silver Wings is that the master is basically finished, and that the target release date is March 17th. My birthday! I know what I'll be looking to buy as a present to me this year!
All the best
Rowan

My Birthday is the 24th March and I am planning on having the 1/32 P-61, but now I'm undecided? I might just have to have both, it is a "special" birthday after all

Rowan, my wife's birthday is St Pat's day as well, and mine is March 30, so perhaps I'll buy myself the I-153 for her birthday, and she can get me the P-61 for my birthday
