Hi Andy
it’s 410mm long with a beam of 90mm+.
Just deciding whether to order wooden deck and replacement barrels from same supplier.
Pic of the hull against my 1/144 Snowberry, currently in dry dock for a refit!

Ok.... so a return to the one true scale, after my recent dalliances with larger scale aircraft.

One their earlier kits.... Don't come up that often but are currently on sale for £20+ incl p&p. Another auction one went for £15.77 at the same time I saw this, which is the cheapest I could find.

I picked it up for £16, which is about what they went for new, if you add p&p, so if not 'cheap' but not stupidly priced either.

Maybe I'll do two kits for the Soviet Wingy GB!!

ATB.

A nostalgia trip with this one.I first got this in 1983

I’ve got that, spent a lot of time looking through it when I was young(er? nah, without the er). Still looking for The Verlinden Way volume 1 for a non-ridiculous price, though …

What's a non ridiculous price?

 

[KarlW]

Kit possibly didn't need this but.....

 

[Andy T]

Since the figure painting bug has hit me I've ordered all kinds of random stuff and these were the first to arrive. A D&D set with a low, medium & high level wizard. I don't know much about the game but there seems to be one that's passed out drunk too :upside:



Should help me with consistency, getting them all looking reasonably similar...

 

[Guest]

I’m not sure, but every time I tried finding one for sale, I saw the asking price and postage and felt the total was too high

I think that one is meant to be the character waiting for a resurrection spell
