Re: Can i use this to refuel my British airplanes?

Aircraft refuelers tend to have a bit more going on, with regard to pumps,valves and hoses. http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?category=82&subcategory=251&product=1854&manufacturer=0 http://internationalscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?t=9422 https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ww2+raf+fuel...

Re: What is happening with the 144 scale retail market?

The market for Japanese prebuilts of various subjects is a bit of a none event at the moment. however, F-Toys appear to have taken over the World Tank Museum (i.e the original Japanese issues, and not the later US Reissues* )branding from Tomytec and have released two new series in the last year or ...

Re: Beginnings of my 1:144 aircraft fleet

There are many people still producing 1/144

Pit-Road, tomytec/Takara, Hobby master, Dragon and more.......

it will always ebb and flow, but 1/44 is stronger now than when i started 5-6 years ago!

and, if you are into kits then there are many more 'big name' and 'garage kits' out there!!

Re: Beginnings of my 1:144 aircraft fleet

Too bad about the TU- 95 Bear. A sure winner of a diecast model that should be made up to today's standards in 1:144. I think it'd be very popular. I did a search for Fujimi and couldn't find anything else prebuilt. / They previously did the P-2J, they came in individual packs, or the remaining mul...
