17 vs 111...
Re: 17 vs 111...
I heard a rumour that the container ship bringing these MOFOs to the States from Britain sank off of the coast of Newfoundland!
Re: 17 vs 111...
Yeah I heard that too. But then I read a report that quoted some guy from Airfix that said they fly 'em in on an old C-47 and that the last they heard it was somewhere in Greenland awaiting a new pitot tube because they were flying too low and clipped it off on an iceberg or something.Manny1943 wrote:I heard a rumour that the container ship bringing these MOFOs to the States from Britain sank off of the coast of Newfoundland!
It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.

It may depend entirely on my mood and the marking options, I have neither in the stash. Today, I'd throw my vote at the Dornier.

Re: 17 vs 111...
So SOMEBODY has those things at hand? Airfix's delivery/releases seem off sometimes. I had their Supermarine Swift in hand from my LHS at the start of December, at that time the Airfix site (and Sprue Bros and Squadron) was still showing it not in stock....
