This isn't so much about the acquisition itself per se as I realise they are pretty low down on the scale kit wise but the fact that after expressing an interest in obtaining another Hobby Craft updated version I was generously offered a gift of one by member 'Kornbeef'.
Not only that but Keith PM'd later to say he also had a 'few bits' of the Academy one as well and would I like him to 'throw them in'. On the basis that they might come in useful it was a case of 'please do'
Well, a nice package arrived yesterday and inside were these two boxes ....
...but that top box is a mite misleading as not only does it contain a 'few bits', it contains enough for three complete models
.
Keith, your kindness is outstanding - my sincere thanks for your generosity. It goes without saying - 'I owe you one'This morning I popped into Hannants for the 2F.1 book as I saw that it had 1/32 drawings included. Have to say it's an excellent production and certainly adds to the other datafile I had. The Nieuport adds to the first volume I had too - couldn't resist it
So now I'm set up for another Camel build and, despite their reputation, taking a good look at those Academy parts I think with with a fair degree of detail removal and reshaping there should be the makings of another - maybe that ships version perhaps.
All I need do is get the decorating I have promised my wife I'd do out of the way and I can get going - ah pass me that roller dear!
My thanks indeed Keith
Regards - Tug
