I could not agree with you more Max. I to will not visit threads if I do not want to, BUT sometimes it is a thread I would like to follow and it does get boring and annoying when so many threads get dragged way off the original topic and worse when it becomes another wish list.

So guys with the latest developments on the Beaufighter front, well possible, who thinks it is worthwhile for me to continue with my sets?
Just thought I would ask…….

Happy Birthday Tolga, hope you enjoy your day, cheers Ali

A few peaks of the engine set, note there will be an early and later style cowling. Just sorting out a few details over the next little while.
 

Pete I promise I have not forgotten. Life has had lots of twists and turns, they have been going on a little to long, and projects have suffered unfortunately. Some distractions have been model related then others a little more personal.
I have this project and others still in the works and hope to complete them, I just do not want to make any more promises that I cannot keep. 
However I will keep you guys informed and you will be the first to know as and when these get done, I am hoping soon, but have said that before.

Hope to move these along soon, the table space is clearing a little.

I am truly amazed that Ukraine is doing as much as it can under the circumstances. I am really not sure that can survive on plastic models being produced when they have a war to fight and food to grow and harvest. I also heard the other day many areas only get about 8 hours of electricity a day.
I can just imagine if this was happening in many ‘western countries’ we would just go into melt down, but they just keep going.

gentle bump for this Hellcat needing some attention

This was the Montex kit originally for those that do not know, then I acquired the masters for this and other Montex kits when I owned A2Zee Models. I addded the decals as most only had decals previously, when I then gave up the Alley Cat range it was taken over by Alec, of what then became Alley Cat models.
i have no idea who has done the current casting, however the struts should all have brass inserts in them, Montex was one of the first doing these subjects and preceded Silver Wings etc. and lead the way in the early to mid 2000’s. 

Hi John 
 
I understand what you are saying but not everything can be in one place, that is why it is structured the way it is. I used to be the same as you, but as time has gone on I scan through all the various places on this forum and others, because so often there are jewels in other areas, RATHER than loads of endless WISH lists that keep appearing just with different titles, with the same kits just being asked for over and over again.

Hi John
WOW thanks for rising this point. As a vendor I have contacted the leaders on this exact point a few times, and have either not been given an answer or been ignored.
Now I will make it very clear right at the outset that I contribute to LSP and have a yearly sub, and am very willing to pay that, as the guys on this forum above any other give me tremendous support and encouragement, which is often worth more than money, and that comes from all including the leaders of the forum.
However as I am not directly involved with this particular product or another that I shall mention I feel I can comment in support of other one man business or small companies.
What I have found is that IF an outsider or friend puts up a post on the front page about a new product by a small sole trader then it often gets to stay?
If however a vendor places it on the front page it gets moved, this have happened in this case to Model Monkey and recently Eli of Zotz Decals put up post and that was moved.
However there are a few vendors out there that always seem to make the front page and stay on the front page and quite a few do not post on here very often themselves and or have a paid vendors space.
In summary I fully understand it is a difficult and tricky balance but I do feel that there needs to be parity across the board for small vendors, and all should be encouraged to take up a legitimate vendors board, and they cannot come with the nonsense it is too expensive. It is very reasonable, one of the cheapest around and for the money they charge and make on their products it is easily affordable. More guys paying and supporting LARGE SCALE PLANES just mean that it can get better for everyone.
 
I hope that this is all taken in the spirit that is meant in.
 
cheers Ali
