  1. They aren't accurate, there was a vendor selling, what looked to be more accurate renditions, on shapeways, I tried to send a message, but couldn't for some strange reason, not sure if they're available again after shapeways closed, then restarted.
  2. Always good to see the positive in any situation, gutted for you all the same, best wishes with the restoration.
  3. Fantastic, thanks for sharing.
  4. Absolutely outstanding.
  5. There were only two PR Mk.IA's built, the Kotare profile is also of N3071, during its time in Northern France during 1939, same colour as the profile in the On Target book, just a different interpretation, c'est la vie, as they say in Eccles.
  6. Hope this will do, it's limited run, about 3500. Looks a bit nicer than the 1/72 Frog kit I built over forty years ago, can be built as an F.1, PR.2 or F.3. From the book of farce... "DH.103 Hornet test shots in 1/32. It is coming - it is going to be very accurate - it is going to be big. We were overjoyed to receive the test shots for our Hornet last week. We are just finishing off the design of the decals, PE and 3-D printed parts. You will be able to make an F.1, PR.2 or F.3 from the kit. This will be a limited run kit. More news to follow - we hope to have it ready for Telford. Sprues will be on display at the Farnborough show."
  7. The camera ports are the two grey circles on the undersides, same grey as the canopy, access hatch immediately above, within the white of the roundel.
  8. Full profile of N3071
  9. They had an overall camotint camouflage scheme, which was a pale grey-green, the top profile on the cover of the On Target book I posted earlier in the thread is N3071, one of the two decal options, based at Seclin, France, 18 November, 1939.
  10. Can't believe I missed this, superb model/diorama.
  11. I think we all have subjects which we would love to have produced to Kotare-standard, but I think an early P-38 would be a very popular choice, could be designed in such a way to fit into a smallish size box, and there are numerous recce versions too.
  12. Mine was $163.97/£124.94, probably a surcharge to the cold, dark, damp, North.
  13. From the email: We aim to release one PR Spitfire version each year until finished. From the kit spiel: The 1030hp Spitfire Mk.Ia was gradually supplanted by the improved 1135hp Spitfire Mk.II from late September 1940 onwards with remaining Spitfire Mk.I being relegated to training units from the middle of 1941. The Spitfire continued to be improved and production did not end until 1948, by which time over 22000 had been produced in 2-dozen variants with the most notable being the 1030hp Mk.I, 1470hp Mk.V, 1720hp Mk.IX, 2035hp Mk.XIV, the photo-reconnaissance Mk.XI and the navalised Seafire Mk.III. Very exciting direction of travel, the D wing cometh! This is book offers a great selection illustrations
  14. Arthur Bentley produced a set of comprehensive drawings.
  15. More details and contact info in this Britmodeller thread.
  16. Details with facebook links on Britmodeller.
  17. It was Robin Carpenter who was behind Cammett, sadly they closed their doors years ago, he started up Scalewarships, but moved on in 2017, there must be quite a number of the conversions unmade in stashes, your best bet is the trader's board.
  18. Very sorry to hear the bad news Chris, I did buy the odd set from your dad, deepest condolences to you, your family, and your dad's friends. Andy
  19. None. AoA decals did propose a VNAF sheet, but after Paul Fisher sadly lost his home/business it was shelved, they do have a couple of single seat VNAF sheets available which might get you most of the way...
  20. Absolutely superb, thanks for sharing!
  21. Very complimentary review by Dave Williams of the Academy kit, here.
