The 109 might find its way into my next order, shame that theres no US or Ruski planes in the range.

I have several of these. They're really nice little kits.

Oh, they also do a Me 262A twin-jet in the same range.

This is the Fw 190A

My my, have been looking at these for a while now.

@ hertsblue: did you do the propellors yourself? or do they come with the kit?knowing revell i'm guesing no...

Hertsblue

Hi, Peter. No, you're quite correct. I did the props myself with a rotary scriber, having cut the blades off the spinner first, of course.

They look nice, and the bases look easy too, how high up are they? About 10-12 cm? It  looks like something in that range.

They're actually Zvesda bases, Peter, fitted with rare-earth magnets to make them universal for all my 1:144th aircraft. They're 8.5 cm to the fixing base. The Revell ones are very much smaller and more delicate and not really suitable for wargaming, I'd say.

Darn  :P

I'll have to rely on twisted wire then  :D

Peter, take a trip to any good model shop and you can pick up some brass rod to use to support the planes. Easy to cut to length and mount on a base and in the aircraft.

BTW, these moulds are quite old and a bit basic but should paint up fine, as the pics above suggest.

I work in a factory, no way i am buying rod  :D :D :D

Hello

Oh good, I was just going about organising another order and now I can add a Hurricane  :D. Will thiese make much difference to the way you package, and charge postage?

Any thoughts of getting the Revell Ju-52 in?

Cheers

I wouldn't think so, they'll fit in a Jiffy bag the same as a figure order would.  They fit through the Large Letter slot as well, so that keeps them in the lower bracket.

Possibly, but it depends on what we can get from the current supplier really.  I've seen them available elsewhere, but minimum ordering levels mean it's not viable from there.

Two quid is a really good price. A lot less than I paid on e-Bay.  :'(
