Quite a big combined boxing! - I wonder what is meant by " with calculation " - a mis translation of something?

Very good to hear, but I think the UK market and builders especially will baulk at buying 1/32 scale due to space restrictions in displaying them. When you compare a 1/32 scale Spitfire to an F-4B there is a considerable size difference. Would 1/48 scale have been the universal scale to work in where sales could have been guaranteed from the UK. After all I can remember the Revell offerings and the sales figures were not good, let alone the product.

Looks like it's giving birth.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Don’t know about all that, but have you noticed the ear trumpet above the right front wheel?

 

[Guest]

TBH, have you ever seen a French military softskin that looks good? I mean, you Brits have a pretty good track record of military trucks etc. that wouldn’t exactly win beauty prizes, but the French seem determined to outdo you :tongue-out:

 

[Tim Marlow]

Well, their trucks look better than their battleships
