[quote=magpie1832] No problem..
Here is what I think is a Big plane.
Followed by the ultimate rc helicopter, Jet Turbine Airwolfhttp://www.youtube.com/w...MWk&feature=related
http://www.youtube.com/w...Y8k&feature=related[/quote]  Now thats a nice plane way bigger than anything I have flown RC, I could just picture my wifes face bringing one of them home to build, I would be devorced quicker than I could pack my stuff lol Nice find mate!!! Jack, when I said Kit Bash it, I meant "what the  I'm sure that supposed to go there  Why dont mine look like the box Ohhh F it!!! then it would fly three meters out the window  But in all hopes, I do want to add more detail to it with some lighting etc, so will see how it goes (Fingers Crossed) Ship Builds on the go

LOL!!! Been there with that one!!! You'll be amazed how far a 1:72 Lanc can go if you throw it hard enough, and it did it very gracefully too!!! pmsl

LOL...when I was 14 I saved up all my money & bought a P51D Mustang...the equivalent size is 1:24 not sure what it was then.It cost me £25...& that was in the 70's!!I note that it now costs £50. I spent months painting & building it,even put an electric motor in so that the propellor spun.At the time we lived in an old georgian villa in Scotland & my younger brother decided to see if it would fly...from a 3rd floor window!!! Needless to say that although it did "fly" a fair distance gravity overtook it rather rapidly...it actually made a quite impressive crater in the lawn.That was the end of my modelling days until recently when I decided to revisit my childhood with a few kits...then along came the Victory. Quite tempted to get a Mustang kit again & see if I can get it anywhere near as good,although unfortunately I no longer have the expert advice of someone who actually flew them to guide me.

Some of the ship models are also very detailed. Magpie, quick question, do you know of any sites that specialise in upgrade detail kits for these models, I'm trying to find some extra bits for the C-130? I can remember someone on the site stating that they liked adding extra details to Air-fix etc models, not sure if it was you, sorry if I'm wrong. Ship Builds on the go

Well me model arrived this morning, and I must say Im impressed with it, especially the Photographic Reference Manual that came with it, I can't believe how much detail they have included. The only thing I did notice was it's not the AC-130, but I will keep it anyway, and send for the other one as well. After I was kindly given a link to this site, I will also be adding the detail packs, so a big thanks Magpie mate!!!!!. Hannants ModelsAnyway, here are some images to start off with.      And here is the Photo Guide, an asset to the company and model.  Ship Builds on the go

The link I sent before was for 1/48 Italeri . Have you made sure you ordered 1/72 extras. Just a thought when I saw your pics and they were 1/72.
