It's not the latest of models, it's a rebox of an Italeri original

Nice
I've bought from Jadlam many times, very impressed.
Would dearly like to visit their shop,but it's a bit too far for a special trip.

Unfortunately I got to take it back because the tyres are missing

Just been back with my Mercedes and with a bit of cash on top I exchanged it for something far far better.

I had a half day off during my business trip in Tallinn today so took a trip to Atrioola model shop. The lady who runs it is very friendly and quite funny. She tried to persuade me to buy the Zvezda kits because they will not get any more for the foreseeable - no thanks.
So I got his instead. The kit includes etched brass and a bag or resin bits too.

I immediately got a dose of buyers regret when I returned to my hotel to discover the reason why there are so many women and children staying here - they are Ukrainian refugees. Reality check for Ricky.

Oh yes. I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few times. The old town is quite the thing.

Nice kit rick , but whats with the trumpeteresque mistake - FAIREY Skua ?!What I cant understand is that on the previous run boxing ( which uses the exact same box art) they got it right - Blackburn Skua . Good job the rest of their research is usually spot on , its a great kit by all accounts . Tony

Never noticed that either. Mine says Blackburn Skua across the top of the box, not the bottom, so it is one of the older ones….

Trumpeter must have someone with the same difficulties doing the boxes - I have a 1/700 USS Yorktown - at least it says that on the box front = on the ends it calls it the USS Essex!

Regarding box art, I bought the new Airfix Mosquito as a gift and noticed the top and side box art were different.
