Another 1/32 kit on the way, new Gloster Meteor, looks like the early F1 or F3 but I am no expert, ok I looked it up, it seems that it is a Meteor F4

What the heck, suddenly all the USA online stores have the new 1/48 TRUMPETER J-7B in stock and availible, no previews no pages and pages of attacks in the modelling forums on various real and imagined slights to the intelligence of the modelling community buy daring to make a mistake or two on the occasional rivet! I feel cheated!

Three Tucanos for me please. See that lekker Angolsh one. My goodness, this is becoming somewhat crazy. I have at least 10 other models on the Christmas shopping list

I managed to keep my fingers away from my key board last week, there was an Academy Su-27 with lots of resin on ebay.
One of the reasons I managed not to bid, I told myself, "What if a new kit comes out?"

You are a wise man JN

And so it continues......

The new Kittyhawk !/48 Mig-25 is being torn apart by the experts, but not knowing much about the aircraft myself it looks like a stunning kit!
Look at the detail on the cockpit sidewalls I think its outstanding.
If I had the space I would love to build one of these.
