I have three of these in the stash (various marks), the plastic looks great in the box, and I've seen several made up examples at shows that really look the part. I'm no fan of exposed engines etc., I prefer the all zipped up and ready to rock 'n' roll look. As I'm no 109 expert, what's the problem with Eduard's 1:32 109Es?

Thoughts about Possible Future Kotare Releases - NOT a wishlist
CharmyDown replied to MikeC's topic in LSP Discussion
My very thoughts. After rummaging through the stash to locate my Revell Typhoon with all it's various AM bits, I thought this would be a good candidate for a Kotare release. Maybe not thier next release, but certainly worth future consideration. -

Having read a large number of threads around this type of thing in recent months, Griffin powered Spitfires/Seafires seem to have a tremendous global appeal, probably because they are great looking airframes. An obvious hole in the modern 'cool' kit inventory A likely candidate I feel. -

Not really my cup of tea, but I wish Kotare every success with this one. I have a couple of Hasegawas in the stash and, for some reason, four Eduard E's. Not a massive fan of the black cross stuff, so excruciating accuracy of the type isn't a deal clincher for me. Looking forward to their next offerings. Let the speculation commence!

Can't thank you enough for posting this. I feel so much more at ease with myself now!

Just soooooh true! This also greatly peaked my interest - for a fleeting moment - then got a grip with reality! This is meant to be a safe hobby, but it constantly presents danger to one's financial and marital stability.

Kotare mk Va For 2024 and possibly another variant
CharmyDown replied to Pup7309's topic in LSP Discussion
Yeh, the Boss (SWMBO) is drawing up a plan for my domestic responsibilities post retirement - she's younger than me, and isn't finishing work for a bit. They currently appear to be on a near industrial scale - so I need to negotiate down this expectation to accommodate extensive modelling time! What's my chances? PS. Any Spitfire kitset will make me happy and put my hand in my pocket. -

New "Battle Over Britain" movie to be released
CharmyDown replied to R Palimaka's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
I still have the glossy brochure from when I was taken by mum and dad to the premiere in Bristol, it's one of my most treasured possessions and memories. The Hurricanes at the start are something else. "You know what to do with the lame ducks"! Superb! -
Well, made me laugh out loud - getting me some questioning looks in the pub.
