Bish, please put me on the roster for this combo: Eduard #11146, 1/48 scale Spitfire Mk.II A/B. Polish and Canadian airmen join the RAF.

https://www.scalemates.com/kits/eduard-11146-spitfire-story-tally-ho--1311919

I may substitute this for a VB later in the year if Eduard offers one in 2021.

Thank you,

Harold

 

 

Bish I have placed my order with Sprue Brothers Models for the Eduard kit #11146 so I can start on it after New Years. Unit then I am working on the Matador and 40mm Bofors AA gun.

Have a good Christmas and New Year holiday my friend. Cheers!

Piers: Cool! And thanks! I was almost certain she's a Mk VIII but I wasn't absolutly certain. I have a set of Aeromaster decals for the same pink elephant Censored but couldn't find the instructions for them. I may order another set though- I really fancy a Censored with a shark mouth. 

So Bish, please put me down for a 1/48th Hasegawa Supermarine Censored Mk VIII if it's kosher by you.

Cliff,

I reckon it is the mk VIII (RAAF used the Vc and the VIII) - I was going to do the same crossover for the two GBs next year!

Bish, hate to ask this but would it be okay by you to switch to a 1/48th Hasegawa Mk. IX varient kit of that unmentionable aircraft and crosspost it to Piers /Lost Again's RAAF GB? 

 

Edit: Hmmmmmm, may be a Mk. VIII- I will have to check...

You know I'm in Bish!!!!  Pics to come soon, but I'm going to do the HobbyCraft 1/48 Vickers Supermarine Seafire XV.  I'm opting for the the Royal Navy version.

I love those ship models- I'd never have thought of entering them. 

Bish, I'm going to try to build the Classic Airframes 1/48th Supermarine Attacker. I've gotten to a sorta love/hate relationship with limited run kits. Hopefully this one will be finished and not end up a British kamikaze smashed all over the wall...

OK Bish,
I orderd the 1/700 Kajika Battlecruiser Kongo as she was in the 1914. Vickers sold her to the Imperial Japanese Navy and she was commisioned in 1913. She was the last ship that was build outside of Japan. During WW1 she patroled off the Chinese coast.
After WW1 she was upgraded, uparmored and reclassified as a fast battleship capable of 30 kts. As such she fought in several engagements in WW2. She was torpedoed and sunk by the submarine Sealion while transiting the Formosa Streight on Nov 21 1944, giving her the distinction of being the only Japanese battleship sunk by a submarine in WW2.

From what I understand, the manufacturer Kajika is an offshoot of Flyhawk and concentrates on making kits of ships in the IJN.

I'll probably start on it after the Walrus.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks Harold.I take it that 2 kits in that set and your doing both of them.

 

Yes sir that is the way that set is intended to be built. I have not built a model aircraft in 66-years, so it may take me two to get one, if you know what I mean.

Glam, yes it is, assuming its the one built in the 1920's. Will get it on the roster.

 

Yup, it's the interwar battleship with the three forward turrets.

I have the HMS Nelson, somewhere in my stash.  It was laid down at a Armstrong Whitworth shipyard, so I am in if it qualifies.  I think it is the Airfix 1/600 iteration.
