The sad fact is if it doesn't sell, it won't be made (or made again) - I'd love to see some merchant shipping (especially 30s) or RFAs, but I suspect the market for them would be even smaller.

Is the Val still in the range?

I use airgun pellets squished with pliars, fits into small spaces easily

Yeah, it's what happens when two or more people with a common interest start talking about something, it's called discussion. We're not conducting a rigid debate

A decent Dinah at a lower price than the Hasegawa one would be welcome. The one at Cosford is just waiting for the LIDAR! A new tool Val would enable a more comprehensive Pearl harbour set as well (With the A6M and the Kate)

That was always a useful secondary function of Aeroclub white metal seats!

I quite fancy a matt black one from the visibility trials

I like the green one better

I have salvaged some gear doors from an old Italeri kit for my T2

I have a fancy to do one of the early ones with the four gun armament

For anyone wondering about that last post, the 'Starter/Gift SEt Hawk is a new mould with a smaller parts set than the original 'new tool'

New tool or new new tool?

All the current releases of the old Airfix vehicles are listed as 1/76th - the last 1/76th vehicles were the Cromwell, Tiger II and QLD/QLT set. the more recent ones ARE 1/72 , although with the exception of the Higgins boat they are all aircraft related. The figures are more subjective as they were originally marketed as OO/HO (which is a big difference). Breach of trading standards? Probably not, in the days of the Trade Descriptions Act you could possibly have made a case for a false TD (I did once consider one kit that was described as 1/72 when it was nearer 1/62) but under the Consumer Practices Regulations, probably not, and it's so immaterial that TSDs have better things to do these days Oh, Revell did release some of the MB kits listed as 1/72 at one point

Tamiya Catalogs - not a sign of panel line washes to be seen until 2000 http://tamiyabase.com/index.php?option=com_joodb&view=catalog&Itemid=1042&lang=en Not many aircraft models either

So you did't say this then? http://i59.tinypic.com/15phoxh.jpg
