Photos from "Children's Universe" toy show: http://modelstories.free.fr/news/News2008_ARFX_GENE_P/index.html That 1/24 Mosquito is going to be a big 'un. Other goodies - 1/48th scale TSR.2, whole lotta' 1/48 and 1/72 Canberra/B-57 versions, a 1/72 FW-190/Ta-154 Mistel. Armor: 1/76 Churchill bridging tank, Sherman Calliope, Matilda Hedgehog, lots of former JB Models kits, including a Vickers Light Tank, and a big D-Day set including a Sherman Crab flail and Churchill Crocodile flamethrower: http://modelstories.free.fr/news/News2008_ARFX_GS_P/img0.jpg Pat >Photos from "Children's Universe" toy show: >http://modelstories.free.fr/news/News2008_ARFX_GENE_P/index.html [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >Pat notice anything about that b-17 "e"? > >Photos from "Children's Universe" toy show: > >http://modelstories.free.fr/news/News2008_ARFX_GENE_P/index.html [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >Pat > notice anything about that b-17 "e"? Yeah, it's a 'G'. Either they have the wrong title up or the wrong illustration, as Academy did have an 'E' moulded.

Retro-fitted, as I recall. The 'G' was the first production model with the chin turret. And yes, the chin turret was adapted from the YB-40. It helped answer the problem of head-on Luftwaffe attacks.

I can understand why this is happening if they haven't got a whole wad of cash to play with, to sit down and have people go out and re-measure all the old aircraft and fix the old errors in measurements and ignore hashed-together aircraft in museums made from various marks, make totally new moulds, etc... Hopefully if they then get enough spare cash coming back in from the older stuff, they'll be able to knock out a more professional range of things. Just a thought. > Just how many "new" kits does Airfix release?

For real fun, put the Frog Vickers Vimy together sometime. In pre-superglue days, that was like being condemned to Hell regarding the inter-wing bracing struts. Put tape on them... put rubber bands on them... and watch them fold up diagonally as the glue dries.

Let's consider. After years of mediocre or downright inaccurate Hunter kits in 1/72, we now have the two beautful Revell ones. Trumpeter has had a really good go at filling in the FAA gaps - Wyvern, Sea Hawk, Sea Fury, Gannet. MPM will shortly release a Sea Vixen FAW1 and the FAW2 version will be in an Xtrakit box. The same has happened with Meteors (FR9, F8) with more to come (F4 and, wonder of wonders, a T7). And there are no less than three companies - Academy, MPM, Trumpeter - all threatening us with Lightnings. SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. > Let's consider.

Now.. regarding that 1/12 model of Kylie Minogue that Airfix intends to do in their Doctor Who series... is it possible to capture that petite super-heated ultra-vixen's innate lust in a five-inch-high styrene figure? I think not. Scale _this_ down to five inches high: http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2002/erotic-kylie-p1.php Seriously, what is fascinating about her is that when you see her proportions... right down to her face and eyes... and you'd _think_ she's around a svelte six feet tall, rather than five-feet-one-inch tall. She's diminutive, yet perfectly proportioned for a person of that size in her whole body, like she's a hobbit of some sort.

Are you *trying* to give me a heart attack or summat???? That's more than mortal man can handle. SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese.

I stumbled on that one night a few weeks back, and thought: "What...the...Hell...is...this?". :-D Pat >> Some great long lost friends in there. >> And to the Airfix and Frog bashers...send 'em to me! :) [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Pat A hobbit? You leave our Kyles alone, mate. :-) I've seen that clip before and I love it. One of the very few genuinely beautiful women in the public eye, IMO. I just wish she'd return my phone calls.

I had saved this YouTube video just for something to help me wake up in the morning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dK7tBQoT1o Yes, there's a typo in the YouTube title. It took me a dozen playings before my eyes got around to seeing that, or anything else on the page other than the video. :-) SignatureBill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ willshak <willshak@00hvc.rr.com> wrote > Ah, Kylie.......... > I had saved this YouTube video just for something to help me wake up [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > before my eyes got around to seeing that, or anything else on the page > other than the video. :-) To take this further OT... while we're talking petite and sexy, search YouTube for 'Alizee'. She's a sweet little French thing - I don't speak Froggy, and bubble-gum pop really ain't my bag, but !ZOWIE!, talk about Big-Badda-Boom. I don't have her number, or I'd call and leave a message...

That's quite outrageous! SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese.

She fakes a orgasm also....or maybe she doesn't fake it. I think she's been watching too many Madonna videos. ;-) * Or maybe it's a transvestite, it's sorta hard to tell.
