You call 6 + inches a "little"? As far as getting the sarcasm, it would have worked a lot better with Eduard's popular FW-190A/Fs, recently described by "Military In Scale" as a much more "modern" kit than Hasegawa's FW-190s of the same year... But then that may be yet more irony I am missing: "More Modern" could accurately mean "inaccurate and full of gimmicks"... With fine perceptions such as this, one can never assume it is sarcasm...

The Messerschmitt Me-262 by Blue Oyster Cult

Let's take our minds off the vicissitudes of plastic with a nice little documentary. The Spitfire, warts and all: part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5.

Bf 109! "109" by Bathory Also, even though it's not specifically about the aircraft, I've always interpreted the bombers central in Bruce Dickinson's "Silver Wings" to be Lancasters - Merlin-engined ("Sound of Merlin's fired up and their spoiling for the fight") and set in 1945 ("But every night since '45 this bomber boy has stayed alive"). And sorry for the OT...

well, now it is out, or so it seems. There were on Britmodeller posted pictures from Telford of an Airfix Mk.XIX 1/48. So 2013 seems to be Indian Summer for Spitfire buffs. I only look forward to see what Gaston has to say about the incorrectness of Airfix's Spitfire XIX 1/48, based on these pictures! NPLemche

It might (or possibly might not) help any potential critic to know that Hornby are working with Arthur Bentley, who is working with, and interpreting, Supermarine's original drawings and dimensional instructions. Edgar

Cheers Edgar Good to know. I'm looking forward to it! All the best Rowan

But Edgar, we already know that manufacturers drawings, whilst adequate enough for building real aircraft ,are no good for models. Andrew
