OK getting back to the original question I bought mine directly from Fly. Free shipping....

Because there's no swastika on it? Seriously..I'd love a French -5

Pre-order placed! I believe it's the white disc behind the spinner that makes it look small?

Yes. I hope there's cutouts in the rear fuselage... Very happy with this anyway

Jens Dreyer makes a vac XIX canopy for the PCM XIV http://www.ipmsstockholm.se/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1475&hilit=spitfire+canopy If you want to make it Swedish http://www.rbdstudio.se/En.html Cheers Anders edit Perhaps not 100% but nothing your favourite floor polish won't cure...

Lol.. We did the same with J 29 Tunnan... http://aeroscale.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=features&file=view&artid=4854 Cheers

You can't really tell by the upper view I made, but this is in fact a RF-101B, based at F 21 Luleå, used for recon missions over northern russia.

Sure...if there was a (not vac) kit to make this...

It's available from the publisher www.japo.eu (signed for postage from Czech is €17) but there is only one page and a profile devoted to the Ar 234B-2N with two pictures of the Naxos unit. A few pages about the two Ar 234C-3 and 130 pages Me 262.

Lovely! Legion Condor markings

Remeber that there is no such thing as a perfect book... here is what made me buy the Recognition Manual ten years ago http://www.lwag.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2677 Cheers

It is. IMHO highly recommended.

109F Ace Maker is nothing but a reprint of the two Kagero Bf 109F monographs with a few new (smaller) profiles. Recommended only if you don't have the previous volumes. Covers development, unit history, 1/48 and 1/32 scale plans, aircraft manual pictures and plenty of photos. 109 Recognition Manual...100% technical stuff and photos. Lists production versions, rüstsätze/umbau variants, weapons and equipment. Ju 88 part one. I quote the cover "Development - Production - Technical History." Also covers Ju 188, 288 and 388. No idea if the 109 Recognition Manual is available, but the other two are. Can't help with the Spitfire book.

What's missing? Well, we have no 1/32 Saabs.. Anders

Very nice! Makes it a bit easier to make the french two seater (B canopy without the blisters) Oh wait, I just had an idea why don't they include these two small parts as well

Oops.. I had no idea... Well, I'm glad I did pre-order it then

Absolutely. Cheers

On this folded insert

Nice little book. Review comment: 1/48 scale plans are included.

As a collector I'd love to get my hands on one of those test shots......

Hey cool! Have mine cleaned up and ready for fun. But I think I'll watch your build first Cheers

Getting closer to 11/2013, finally... At least two boxes coming, bomber and nightfighter. http://www.fly814.cz/pripravujeme-preparing/

Please Mr Tamiya, I'm turning blue....

There are three(?) options if you don't want to make your own windscreen: AlleyCat PR Mk.XI conversion (unfortunately the resin windscreen is 2mm wide) Also include an etched scribing template for the camera ports (which apparently is too small for the XIX ) Greymatter: Colors are changed to show its features.. Dreyer: Excellent vac canopy made for this kit. I bought a few from him two years ago. Perhaps he has some left? I will not publish his email here, PM me. Or, PM him from here. ..and the Greymatter spinner: So, when will we have a Tamiya XIX??

You need the unarmored windscreen and the underwing fuel pump blisters (Greymatter or AlleyCat Mk.XI conversion (which also includes all camera stuff) AlleyCat resin windscreen is 2mm too wide as it's designed for Tamiya VIII but it might be possible to heat it and make fit? Not early production XIX was pressurized=No door. No armament=Remove armament hatches etc Add the camera ports, air pressure intake and you're there http://www.rbdstudio.se/En.html perfect decals for the XIX I have two PCM XIV awaiting the same treatment... Edit: Greymatter has a spinner/prop which is much better looking than the PCM offering and it fits the PCM fuselage quite well.
