I'll have to keep my eye out for that, one can never have enough decals for Nurricane's!

Sorry Greg I couldn't resist, and if you've a Manc mate you'll know our sense of humour, though it took me back to my childhood as oftentimes kids would call them Nurricanes - priceless!

Hello Thierry,

 

Yes, all markings are in three scales. There are only codes, serials and squadron symbols. National marking must come from the kits or other sources.

 

Salud!

Thanks for the info!

Kent very kindly pointed out to me that this book has some ErpGr210 - woo-hoo!

 

now can anyone tell me where this book is available from in UK / Europe?

 

Amazon says it's coming in December, but given you already have it in your hands in the US, i know it's "out there" somewhere!

 

i have done quite a bit of googling and all i keep coming up with is the Part I book

 

any ideas?

 

cheers

Hi Nick,

Ordered mind direct from Kagero few days ago for 22.5 euros (don't have euro key on keyboard)

Here: http://sklep.kagero.pl/product_info.php?products_id=1013

 

Bit of a chore to order.

The secret is to register and wait for an e-mail to activate your account and THEN order.

I tried to do it immediately after registering and it threw a bit of a wobbler!

 

HTH

ah yes, i too appear to be "mid wobbler"!!

 

i don't know why i haven't bought these books before, given they are only a bit more expensive than some of the decal sets out there, and they will have better reference material / pics than most decal sets

 

yes, once again, i prove to myself i am a dufuss!!

 

[nmayhew]

ok so Kagero obviously work half day Friday

nothing wrong with that, but i thought online ordering was meant to avoid all this crap!

 

people making it difficult for ME to give THEM money really annoys me
