Wow! Sounds ambitious! I can't wait to see how these come along. As for the roundels, I wouldn't want to ask you to pay for the shipping on those, and I found that set of FAA Corsair decals from Techmod at an online hobby store I have used before, Meteor Productions. Just out of curiosity, how much would it cost me to have those roundels shipped to me?

Don't be daft Frank, it would'nt cost you anything! If you want 'em just pm me your address.

	Darren, I have had a look at the Lynx kit and I like it! It looks much better than I expected, and I am quite tempted to start playing with right away Its not big on detail, but it looks the part. Still, I have to get my F-14 off the bench first......... Regards, Darren. C.A.G. FAA/USNFAW GB

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Cool, thanks again! I pulled the kit out last night to look at the wingtips, should be an easy conversion. I also bought my Ultracast seat with belts today, so I am ready when the build starts. Frank

	Hi darren I have an Airfix 1/48 Seafire 47 I'd like to contribute - the timeframe would suit me just right as well. I'm going to do it with the Aires resin c-pit but can't make my mind up about the wingfolds yet! Alan (aka Pruz) If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going! Finishing off: Revell 1/48 B-1B Lancer for USAF 60th Anniversary GB In production: Revell 1/32 F-16A - C conversion

WOOHOO! Any more rum, and I'll never be able to finish anything. Might catch myself gluing parts in the wrong place again.

You have some nice kits there! Any preference as to which one you want to build first?

I love to hear what you think about the Gannet kit, I've had my eye on one for a while now

Blimey.......wish it was April

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Darren- Have you ever ordered from Hannants before? I am thinking about getting one of Special Hobby's 1/48 Super Corsairs (to go along with the one I am going to do here) to build over in the civilian GB. Thought it might be fun to do two Corsairs at once. The only place I can find one is at Hannants, but have never ordered from an overseas (to me) company before. Just wondering if you have ever worked with them. Frank

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Frank, I order from Hannants all the time and can certainly recommend them. They send everything by Royal Mail parcels and everything is packed securely. If you give them a try I think you will be pleased. Regards, Darren. C.A.G. FAA/USNFAW GB

I'm still considering starting with a US plane used by FAA, the sky / dark sea gray sceme is going to require me to break out the airbrush and I'm not sure how that will go (I'm not that proficient with it), the US planes offer the all blue option. If I start with one of the 3 I got it will probably be the Swordfish, not only is it cheap it offeres several alternate paint schemes. I really want the Gannett and Wyvern to come out nice so I will probably hold off on them until I am pretty confident I can do them right.

Just looking in the box both the Gannett and Wyvern look pretty nice, crisp detail, clear "glass" parts, everything individually bagged and instructions that actually look like they make sense. I got the 1/72 scale kits but I understand the 1/48 are about the same just a little more detail.

Re: Fleet Air Arm Group Build - Apr 07 to May 08

	Aaronw, I like the sound of that Swordfish! I think Mike is going to build one of those too. The Gannet kit sounds good, definately one for my wish list. Regards, Darren. C.A.G. FAA/USNFAW GB
