I wasnāt going to drop that much for a set,but I did grab a wheel painting set,and red for jet door edges,they give you a lot of control,they lay down a nice coating,really like them for wheels.

I have been eyeballing that set.
This one came in today.
I have never built a Hampden, in fact, Iāve only ever built a Lancaster and a Blenheim as far as British bombers go. Looks good in the box.

Iāll have to add this to my wish list. Iāve used the brass and gold Playmarkers and like them a lot.
I donāt know what a 1:1 Sega Saturn looks like - we had Playstation - so here is a couple sprue shots next to an inch ruler.

My LHS has got to stop carrying these enticingly weird kitsā¦ 1/72 Fouga Magister from Valom:
Looks like a relatively straightforward buildā¦ with the exception of the microscopic insanity of these resin detail parts
Note the literal grain of rice included for scale:

Thats cool,I like that,I have been playing around with getting the Aventgarde kit and modeling the Katangese air force version that bombed Jadotville.

Cool and unusual kit for sure, Iāve never heard of it, and I agree, that scale is sooo small! Especially when Iām used to 1:48th scale.
I looked it up and these were 1000 of them built starting in 1948! How have I never heard of this jet? I honestly wouldnāt have thought there was a jet that I wouldnāt at least recognize if asked.
