The Titanic will keep you out of mischief for some time! The Fokker looks satisfyingly big. Looking forward to these three.

Managed a rare visit to my local ( ish ) model emporium yesterday for some supplies, when I spied this towards the bottom of a pile of kits. I didn't even know it existed, and for the princely sum of £6, I had to have it !! Fits in nicely with my new theme and seems a nice little kit - moderate detail, recessed panel lines, etc. Also comes with markings, lumps and bumps and ordinance to make a low-vis OA-37 too, if you're into that sort of thing !

May well have jumped the queue to be next on my list.....

Just make sure not to use the Titanic 'box art' as a painting guide ...ugh! I studied archival sources to more closely match the paint on my own 350 version, but even I messed up on the color of the masts (should be more yellow) and the funnels (should be more 'tan/teak/beige), but, over all, I was pleased with it...(and my model has survived more trips than the real thing ever did!)

This is what my friend got me for Christmas, I did a search after I opened it to try and find a resin engine for it ( that's when I found the eBay link on another post ) but there dosent seem to be one in this size. Still at this size it will look very nice when done, I was looking to build another Spitfire two years on from my return to modelling so very pleased.
