After having used the one I bought a few weeks ago, I can confirm that assessment. Don’t bother with an NWSL Chopper, get one of these instead.

Paul is that for real or just on paper . ?

Please post asp ! Now that beats the daylight out of the "Chopper " Looks very well designed and made. What size are the blades , you might find that these
from
Might suit.
Have a box full nearly a 100 if these will fit and you want any just say .

Thanks Brother, but the screws are are at 7 and 32 mm so there is no way they could be used without drilling holes. A wonderful offer, but I am in the same boat,
There is only about 30 left in the box and in the 5 pack below it, the blades will just fit with a little tweaking. They are double edge blades and should keep me going for a few years. Thanks again Dude 2.....

Always the same Dude 1 and Jakko, buy something that's goodish and then several years later a top notch version appears. The Chopper is ok--------- but, movement on the arm, the angles are too short. Iv'e found taking a slow cut is the only way to get a clean straight edge.
I don't think it ever made it to service. It was just a prototype.
G
Thanks Paul ..
Certainly strange looking .

Two prototypes had apparently been built between March 1944 and the end of the war, with more under construction (one almost complete) but not finished. The almost-complete one survives in the USA.
Found this morning in a charity shop and at a reasonable price.
Keeping postie busy two Master Box figures, the hussar at 1/32, the Chinese at 1/24
And from John, the AK ultra matt varnish & a couple of AK 3rd Gen colours
And, my cutting mat was looking a bit sad, so for £4.99 I got this A3 mat
Impressed - heavy, good quality, double sided - the other is dark grey printing over the same light grey base. I'm sure it'll upset some people, but, it's metric only! :rolling:

F82s were reintroduced in 1948 as jets of the time hadn't the legs to escort bombers into Russia. In theory, they could fly from England to Moscow & loiter for 30 minutes & return. 12 hour flights were possible. They were based w/Strategic Air Command. PaulE
Just arrived this morning, some 1/72 Germans with bicycles.

Following recommendations I've got hold of this. I think some practice on previous kits is in order first!

Ian, if you ask SimonT nicely, he might lend you his trained spider to weave spokes in the tire rims...Or do you plan on making them yourself???
Going to give it a go first
You Da Man!!!
The last parts for my Mossie and spitfire builds popped through the door earlier today.
