      Just picked up these:

      Will be slightly modified. Black and white checkerboard for a start, and marked up as 381st bomb group as per below:

      and

      I was wondering, did the germans ever have any 100% automated gun crews? I only ask this as I detest painting figures haha

          We all know what the Gripen has in wait, The SeaFire? We I sort of ordered one from my LHS so that will be one wings up, one wings down on a carrier deck.

            How is the Italeri Gripen out of curiosity? Saw one a few weeks ago and was thinking of getting it. Good kit? Raised panel lines?

              A little mini-mini review of the gripen just for you simon:

              Three sprues in the now normal light grey and a little sprue of clear parts.

              The parts are nicely engraved with the few panel lines there are on this type. Wheel bays are nicely detailed with loads of cables and little boxes and the such (tech term).

              One of the three sprues are the weapons. The fuselage is a left and right two part. The lower wing is one part and forms the underbelly of the fuselage. The top wings are, well just that!

              The decals look ok and the options are for a Swedish aircraft with normal colour also low-vis. There are also low-vis markings for a Czech machine.

              At first glance I will say it looks like a nice little kit and should look the part once built.

                Fantastic! Thanks very much Ian! I'm definitely going to be getting it now! Feel it's a kit that no half swede should be without!

                p.s. for once I managed to understand the tech terms! I must be making progress!

                Thanks again!!

                Simon

                  Nearly brought another Tiger but i was good, for the price of the Tiger i brought a M4 Sherman and Subaru Impreza WRC. The Impreza is for the GB now i just need to settle on the photo i'm going to use.

                  Have fun, John

                        Nice choice for the GB John, good to see that its not going to be all green and grey.

                        I picked this up today:

                        [ATTACH]30772.vB[/ATTACH]

                        I had it earmarked for the next in the 74 squadron line up, but they didn't fly this type! Oh well I will just have to find another one :-)
