Good to see it's made in the Ukraine and not somewhere like China.

It's a monster all right and there's a lot of chat about its lack of accuracy? How the hell do you display that lol. Always fancied the large Arizona

With a 1/200 Yamato you could probably take the top off and use it as a canoe :tongue-out3:

Absolutely love it. You shouldn’t have any issues with the build though, the Vizsla has come out very well.

My one and only kit purchase at the cosford air show last week. Mistercraft can be a bit of a strange one , the contents of the boxes could be from various manufacturers , heller , zts mikro, kopro , even old frog toolings . Scalemates is an invaluable resource when considering one of their kits to know what the tooling is . In this case its the Heller tooling , which was considered one of their best , combined with no less than 6 decal options for various air forces. Havent decided which one I’ll be doing yet .

Mistercraft are a very odd company - they rebox all sorts of models, both good & bad! Their decal options are always interesting, and the colour instructions are quite good ( if a bit small! ). As you say, Scalemates is essential to separate the wheat from the chaff! ( The last one I picked up was the ex-Heller Storch, for not a lot )

I got two nice Airfix 54mm evilbay bargains this week.
For £5.99 plus postage ,(a reasonable price, they usually fetch about a tenner)and I was the only bidder; first up is the 10th Hussar -or IS IT......?

THIS is what was in the box


Two Coldstream guards which also fetch about £8-10 each. I guess because what the picture showed was obviously not a horse nobody wanted it. And if you were searching for the guardsman you wouldn't have found it either. but because I'm interested in all of them I always look at the pictures.so I got me a bargain there.

But the best bargain was this job lot for a winning bid of 11.99(plus postage).


Buried in this pile ,and the reason I bid, are two almost complete French fusiliers which will go into my Fusilier build - eventually. There are also 4 complete figures (so even at £5 each I am already quids in!) A nice Historex mounted hussar and a few other useful bits for the spares box.
So this more than makes up for my previous expensive (almost) c*ck-up

Thought she was a bit less hairy than they usually are…..it was the colour that said Vizsla….friends of ours have an absolutely gorgeous one. Gentle as anything.
