Excellent mate,I look forward to seeing what you decide on

[outrunner]

Still unsure about wingy things so I may jump in at a later date if that's OK?

The more familiar aircraft are appearing, but there are also quite a few more obscure models around, like

Used in WWII until losses grew from increased enemy fighters numbers, but made it's debut in the Sino-Japanese war ( for the Chinese WWII started in 1937! ). Hunt around in the stashes, and see if you can find something really obscure!

The only way I go more obscure than a Zero is doing a captured plane.....

Still not sure what to build. I fancied an Aichi dive bomber but can’t seem to find one in 1/48…..a fairly big gap in the inventory really…..I’ll have to see if I can track down the Hasegawa one for reasonable money….

Even looked at the bay Dave, but the only Hasegawa Aichis on there go for around forty…..quite a lot for an old moulding….pity because I fancied a dive bomber :sleeping2: However, there are quite a few Zeros around (Eduard released one) now so I’ll probably end up with one of them .

The Hien or "Tony" is a nice looking plane if you wanted to go for something other than a Zero Tim
.... I know what you mean about the prices of the bomber type stuff...crazy money some of them!!

I’m keeping my eye on a couple of potential victims Andy….I’m sure I’ll come up with something…..
