    Painting parts prior to assembly, yes or no?

    Generally, I build as much as I can before painting. Inacccessible stuff, like aircraft interiors, I paint complete before closing up Small parts I paint on sprue before attaching, because they'll always be knocked off But that's a different thing entirely

    Knowing/Learning when to stop!

    Well, JMW Turner was never quite satisfied his paintings were 'finished', so we're in good company Sort of

    What scale do you prefer most?

    1/700? 1/350, 1/600?

    The rise of Warhammer, et al, V "regular" traditional scale modelling?

    I read recently that by turnover, GW are something like 10 times more profitable than every other wargames company PUT TOGETHER! AND they don't have to pay Henry Cavill for all the free advertising he does "I used to play GW, but I got better." Haven'tplayed 40K since, ooh, 1989? There was a...

    How old are we?

    Blimey, are we almost ALL grey scale old guys? NOW I feel old "The world will not see their kind again'

    What scale do you prefer most?

    You're possibly thinking of 1/56, the 'nominal' 28mm wargaming scale? Italeri do a couple of vehicles joint released with UK wargames company Warlord Most interesting part of this poll would be what are people doing in what scales

    Purchasing Flyhawk Kits In the UK

    Interesting. I guess Super-Hobby have pseudo-UK for 'reasons'. Like avoiding duties? Postage on their site seems low, and they get a lot of good reviews. But who knows these days

    Purchasing Flyhawk Kits In the UK

    Hannants don't, but Super-hobby.co.uk seem to stock a range, as well as a lot of other ranges I would love to fill my pre-dreadnought desires with... Still, I miss White Ensign. And the days when postage from mainland Europe didn't cost more than the item!

    1:48 Smer Macchi Castoldi M.C. 72

    Flat rod? Hmm, Slaters Plastikard (yes, with a 'k') do a range of rod and strip that might be of use?

    Red Arrows ‘What if’ EE Lightning. Airfix 1/48th.

    Well, the Firebirds flew Lightnings as a display team, the year before the Red Arrows were even formed, so why not? Methinks a Red Arrows Hunter would look rather pretty too. Or a Buccaneer...

    That's, interesting...

    Mospeada VR052F/T variable type

    Genesis Climber Mospeada, Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross, Super Dimension Fortress Macross. So why it went from Mospeada ('Motor-Speeder' probably) to 'New Generation' escapes me I do like the 'transformable' versions of these kits

    Airfix 1/72 Wessex

    Very nice. And that's 1/72? Noice!

    Debris

    Do you mean like discarded stowage, or broken bits blown off? What scale? (I'm going to assume 1/35?)

    1:48 Smer Macchi Castoldi M.C. 72

    Yeah, the rigging on this beast is more like really thin spars than wires - probably due to the extra stresses involved. Thin rod rather than stretched sprue would be my go to, but that's just me. Also, most of the photos show the pilots wearing white coveralls with no life jackets or 'chutes...

    Noice Bit of a rarity that, and, as with most Smer stuff, you've got a bit of work there. Nice detail on it too But is it really 1/48 or, like their CR.42, 1/50? Wish I still had my photos of the real beast at Vigna de Valle. Just have to make do with my Bancaero seaplane racers book

    The state of things.

    If it's not nailed down, someone will steal it. Said from twenty-plus years in retail. Currently, it has to be more than two-hundred quids worth stolen before the police will even take an interest... However... I believe this would count as criminal damage, which is a whole'nother barrel of...

    Very Fire new ships for 26, hopefully!

    ANOTHER Yamato, ANOTHER Beeswax. They're getting like 109 Es. But only the second ever Vanguard! Yay, but why not 700th?

    More new stuff from Airfix.....

    Well, there were the 1/1 bird kits back in the day... NOW I wish I'd got them BTW the Lego flower sets are really something and do sell well I do applaud Airfix for market expansion experimentation
