RIP Sqn Ldr Mark Long https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-69062769

Rumours are saying it's a Spitfire. Whatever it is i hope the pilot is ok. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-69056052

Didn't AIMS make a set(s) Edit.... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aims-32pe015-fw-190a-f-hatches-and-latches--1325936 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/aims-32pe014-fw-190-hatches-and-latches--1325930

I hope they consider making a Hurricane Mk.I next to compliment their Spitfire series. With quite a few different marking options available because of the vast areas of operations that they took part in. Obviously with a few famous NZ pilots that flew the Hurricane, i feel it could be a very popular kit

Seeing wishlists from modellers is free market research

"Something for a Spitfire to shoot down"? Well it depends on what Mk of Spitfire from their catalogue. If it's later than the Mk.I Spitfires then a 109F fits the bill too. Or early 190's.

Anyone have an idea what the price will be for these? The Hasegawa/Revell ones rarely come up on evilbay and command a decent price when they do

It went from .de to .se. That's how i lost it for so long.

I'm in. Especially with the pricing and over-engineering of ZM kits. Opens up a whole host of diorama options. As for AM. Well that will come along as i know a few 1:35 armour guys that are thinking of giving these kits a go too.

It is if you don't have the bank balance of a small country like most on here seem to do

That's me out then. Not paying that much for a kit even if it is a version of my favorite aircraft

That's a stunning build Thomas. I have this conversion in my 'to do' pile. If it comes out half as good as yours i'll be well chuffed

Just wanted to make a public thanks to @Miloslav1956for sorting out a way for me to purchase his Fw190 D-11 conversion here in the UK. He has been very helpful and speedy in his replies and help. I am now the proud owner of said conversion. Cannot wait to have a bash at it.

Ermmmm. let me think about this....... No! lol

$40 on Scalemates via private seller

Looking at the instructions over on Scalemates, i presume the railings are the four lots of PE (E) listed?

As Brian says. There are (not nice) reasons and best to ask Maru personally. Or find it another way. It's not hard to. And that's all i'll say about that. I'll miss her positively on here and her kindness.

It's probably the only way i'll be able to get an A6 version. The Hasegawa kits are like rocking horse poo to find (and at a good price) and the ZM one if and when it ever appears will be so over-priced it'll be out of reach for me also. So i'm interested in this kit

I got this to help me build the one i want using the Revell G6 kit https://www.scalemates.com/kits/amur-reaver-rc3218-bf-109g-6-as-conversion--1263214

They were also lovely to work on. Proper rigger (Airframes) work. I only had a short time on them but still remember them fondly

Bf110 G2 and G4 Ju88 C6, G1, G6 Do217 J1/J2 Wellington B Mk.III or X (as above) Halifax B Mk.III Do17Z

I'm waiting on their basic versions. I have a few 190 A8 kits (Hasegawa and Revell) but really want to do the earlier versions, especially an A6 (got to love the checker nose). I also have a few Hasegawa/Revell D9s but could be tempted to buy a ZM basic as well. Now if they released a D11 version then i'd be on it like a rat up a drain pipe

They have form for not continuing to make other marks. Ju88 G6 or Bf110 G4 anyone? lol

Sarcasm is wasted lol
