Airfix did 6 models in total, the 3 above, and, Woodpecker, Robin & Little Owl. They were also boxed by Gunze Sangyo. They still pop up on Ebay & auction sites - never made any - not really my interest

I built the version on a launcher many years ago when it was newly released, and I quite liked the model, both to build and for its appearance. Let me also quickly plug a PDF with pictures I made at the time

Bit of subject but its for photographing my models and ironic how i take the picture with my phone but my new dslr

I have that Tamron lens, in a Sony fit. Great for airshows and the like when you can't get close.

I wanted the zoom lens for things like airshows or if we nip down to local airport i was between the tamron and canon original but the macro om the tamron lens sold it for me

Has any one here come across this paint yet. Its new to the UK , and only two out lets. I got this from MJR Models & Hobbies. of Bolton. Its a product from Slovakia, www.mrpaint.sk Its an acrilic lacquer paint for airbrushing.
Its for spraying only and from the conversation with Mike Jolly the proprietor the paint gives excellent results. Mike has a very complex stock of this brand of paint, he does purchases over the phone and on line.
I bought the paint to try on the Pioneer to build in German hands.
Will let you know how it performs when I do the build.

Cheers Mike

Hi Mike
I’ll be interested in the paint....acrylic lacquer sounds similar to Tamiya spray cans? Plenty else there to keep you busy as well...

A quick trip to the boot sale and I picked up this lot for a grand total of £3.50 that includes 50p for the turntable.[ATTACH]312611[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312612[/ATTACH]

Postie just dropped this off............................[ATTACH]312815[/ATTACH]
I doubt my sanity at times - complaining about small bits! The hull is just over 70mm, and PE for the grilles

Upper hull[ATTACH]312818[/ATTACH]
Mouldings have a bit of flash, but not too bad. I counted around 120 parts
The model has a FULL interior engine, radiator etc etc, and all the hatches can be left open.
The IBG model is boxed in several versions, one with metal barrel, and two resin figures & full link & length tracks, another with all plastic & quick build tracks, small pots of Hataka Polish Army paint, brush and glue. The version I got was all plastic & quick build tracks - no paint, brush or glue! Looking at the quick build tracks - I think I made the right choice.

I have made models of the TKS before ( Mirage, I think ), but nothing as sophisticated as this

Hi Pete
Those look very useful. I have some but they have teeth and so for holding delicate parts I have to pad out the jaws. Could you please let me know where you got them.
Thanks
Jim
