Dominic Thomas Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Paul, Now you have a potential solution, I would like to see how it looks with models/bombers on it. perhaps you could start a new post to like all these comments together so we can all see how well this approach works.

I can do that Dominic to keep you posted on how it goes, I'm not a fast builder so it might be a few weeks before anything is built to go in it, but i must admit its got me thinking how i could display things now and i have gone to the expense and trouble to get it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiddity Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Sort of kit related! Visited a flea market yesterday & there was a massive vinyl stall. Most stuff was new ex-hmv at very cheap prices. They also had a table of used vinyl for £1, which is where I got this (& wife got the jungle book & Mary Poppins soundtracks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiddity Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Lunchtime visit to Redcar Models & Hobbies. Wanted to ask about the RNLI Shannon (apparently coming out next week) & pick up the airfix North American mustang starter kit. Been wanting one but then saw manns model moments video review of the new starter kit so that forced me to get it before they disappeared! Also got, from the second hand pile (nearly all still new), a tamiya luftwaffe winter crew & a fairey firefly Mk.I by octopus (have since found out it's a hard kit to do!) both for £10 each. Then get home & a deal pops up on vinted. Managed to get five 70s kits (mostly new or just started) for under £26! Kits are Italeri night fighter Airfix raf recovery set Airfix lcm & sherman tank Airfix mig 21 Matchbox twin otter Matchbox sdkfz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null_null981707818191 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 You'll perhaps recall that my posts tend to focus on WW2 fighter aircraft, and related models, so my latest acquisition might be viewed as a possible momentary aberration, but in fact it was a trip down memory lane which caused the purchase - so I haven't actually gone over to "the dark side" . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kavanagh Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 These arrived today. The Modelu figures are superb. I’ve used their products for various model railway commissions, and it’s great to see them branching out into the military side of things. You can’t have too many Gladiators, I find. I’m going to build this one in the Norwegian scheme, as befits my 1940 obsession. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD45elect2000 Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I never heard of these figures now I gotta get some. Thanks Heather. Randall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Kavanagh Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 22 minutes ago, modeling maniac said: What are the schemes in the gladiator. The MkI is that of Lieutenant Dag Krohn, Norwegian Army Air Service, Oslo, April 1940. The MkII is No 1401 (Met) Flight, RAF Coastal Command, Bircham Newton, July 1942. The latter is interesting as it sports the later wartime roundels and fin flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 I was hoping that Airfix would re-issue this in the Vintage Classics range, I've been on the lookout for some time, and decided to take the plunge at a few pence over £20 🙂 You watch them re-issue in 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john redman Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 My golden rule when buying old kits is, never pay more than Airfix would charge you if they reissued it - because they might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Me too, I refuse to pay stupid money. Airfix won't be re-issuing the CMP though because it was a re-boxed Peerless Max kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_null981707818191 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Some of you might recall my preference for building WW2 fighter aircraft, particularly if there is a 'back story' - so I couldn't resist the latest 1/72 Spitfire livery, that of the aircraft flown by Sq Ldr Brian Lane, to go with the essentially autobiographical account written by the pilot about his BoB experiences, which I purchased at the same time (though not of course from the same on-line emporium...). So something to read and to build - what's not to like! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
