Yes, they also have a 1/200 Ju52. It's part of their Art of Tactic wargamming series that also includes figures and artillery in 1/72 scale. vehicles in 1/100 scale, and single engine fighters in 1/144, I assume the different scales to keep the overall size of the pieces about the same for the...

If it is part of Zvezdas wargaming series, it might even be 1/200

Here are some shots, sorry for the poor quality, I really need a new camera:( Resin parts, wheel bays, seats with belts, turret parts and guns, coolers for inside the intakes, scoops, hollow exhaust stacks, spinners, etc. Some clear resin parts also, astrodome?, and nav lights Fuselage...

Definitely not the FROG kit. :D Not quite so "typical" short run, with injected transparencies, photo-etch, and resin. Photo-etch mostly for antennas (I have the Mk VII Coastal Command kit), Resin for interior and turret details, wheel wells, and other small details. Plastic parts have...

Yes, I have seen that review, unfortunately, it seems that Internet Modeler hasn't been updated in quite a while, (they still show an ad for Aviation USK ???) and White Dog Decals are long OOP (there is another review of the same set on Modeling Madness, with contact info.). There was also a...

Thank you for the offer, but I have the Falcon clear-vax, and the Cobra set also comes with vac transparencies. I hoped that someone would make decals for this thing, Cobra Co. sold out the first run of detail sets, and had to re-do the molds for the current run, so people are buying these.

Does anybody here know of any aftermarket decals for the Revell, ex Matchbox, 1/72 scale PB4Y-2 Privateer? (Google is not my friend in this case) I know Cutting Edge has some 1/48 scale, and at one time was considering 1/72 scale versions, but nothing has come of that. I have the kit, and the...

Only on invisible girls, darn

Looking good. I'll be watching this with interest, since I have an older Minicraft boxing waiting in the stash. I do have to say though, that it looks like the molds are getting quite worn, the propellors have always been iffy, but the cowlings on my kit, ( copyright 1998 ) don't look...

Oops, just noticed you are in the UK, I don't think they ship overseas. Just checked, and they will ship out of the US, but you have to call them to order.

Tungsten powder, available here: Pinewood Derby - Weight All you need is a tiny hole and a paper funnel, and you can pour it into the smallest area, it is a very fine powder, squirt a little thin CA in to bond it, and done. I used some on a Hasegawa 1/72 A6M2-N, that I had forgotten to...

I've wondered that myself, why square on the bottom and rounded on top part way, and reversed the rest:?: Maybe someone here can enlighten us.

I can't help you with the elevators. But, if you can hold out for a while, QuickBoost lists a B-24 Propeller set, for the Academy and Eduard kits, as a future release. Also, Aeroclub at one time made a white metal propeller for the B-24, but seems Aeroclub products are getting hard to find...

Gotta love those Airfix rivets, Nice job.
