It's a scale I've not come across.

I suspect the model is old enough that it’s from the “scale to fit the standard-size box” days …

Just received these for my Scorpion build.

It didn’t seem right leaving the shop with just the paint.

One of my favourite aircraft of all time.

Just a little bling for the spit group build victim…

….and before anyone starts, I know that is for a nine, and I’m doing a twelve….but no one makes a twelve IP at the moment, and this looks almost identical to the out of print Eduard twelve IP…..

Hi Jakko,

I just checked out their website and they do have some really interesting stuff and the prices + shipping are reasonable too.
How good is the casting quality of the resin? Air bubbles/blemishes? It looks great in their pics, but I wonder if customs will hit hard as it comes from HK. Thanks......

The casting quality is very good, as far as I can tell from a quick look and some test-fitting. There was one part where a piece was a bit thinner than it should be, and some very thin bits were warped, but no air bubbles, let alone nothing someone with a little experience with resin can’t sort out.

As for the import duties: this one got sent as a gift, with no mention of the company name on the package, and it got delivered to my door today with no import duties, VAT or handling fees attached. I ordered more from IMA together with this, thinking that a single shipment would mean less handling fees, but if they all come through like this it’ll be fine

Today's haul, from Modelkraft in Milton Keynes:

Camo mask sets for the Stuka and Gladiator, two packs of decal stripes, paints in RLM65 and RLM71 for the Stuka, some sanding sticks. Stynylreez primer, 10mm masking tape, and a couple of bottles of Mr Hobby cements to try out.

My Modelkraft buys.
I am sure I was an armour modeller
After chatting to adt70hk and his son I felt I needd some 1:72 Jabos

The Me 321 is probably more a dive-bomber, though … put it into a dive, open those big air brakes that form the plane’s nose, and all the bombs slide right out the front!

Single use dive bomber.:smiling2:
