Niceeeee - the Helldiver is a beast.

Funnily enough, I picked this up last week - on the same theme.

I also picked up a Tamiya Horch.

The Barracuda is really a nice catch Stuart!

Nice score, Stuart. Look at that greenhouse canopy.

Nice score Stuart! The Barracuda was not a visually attractive aircraft, but it sure did look mean :hmm: :whistle:

Thanks Gents - it does look like a cracking kit.

I've rather partial to Fairey aircraft, I can certainly see a Battle, Fulmar and Firefly in my future.

Don't get me wrong Stuart - I'm partial to peculiar looking planes. I have the 1/48 Airfix AS.1/AS.4 Gannet in the stash - looking forward to that one.
Thanks,
John

Oh I never said they weren't odd looking - look at the Gannet LOL! :grin: About the only aircraft they made that does look good is the Firefly.

Nice score Stuart!

Got a new mat for my desk. I ordered a 12x24 and got one WAY bigger than that. Ordered a new one and got the same thing. So my wife help me cut it down to fit the desk.
