Jockabilly 498 Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 I have a number of others on pre-order which I am looking forward to and dreading having to pay for. I am particularly looking forward to the appearance of the Ffrom/Azur Fairey Battle which I have one of each version of on pre-order. I am hoping that the Battle will appear as promised before Christmas but they have already been put back several times so I'm not holding my breath. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Campbell 4,754 Posted November 22 Report Share Posted November 22 Looking briefly at the Rumourmonger on the other channel I see someone has upset Special Hobby rather badly and they’ve given them a stuffing. Some people never learn😂 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian Campbell 4,754 Posted Monday at 09:23 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:23 AM Long story short. Apparently Special Hobby and AZ models were going to release Mosquito's with two stage engines. As you will know doubt know th SPECULATION ran rampant. Everything from cowling length to materials used for the moulds was discussed along with the usual wrong scale crap. After about six pages of drivel SH has bitten back giving short shift about various things mentioned. One of his posts has been deleted but basically the message was BUTT OUT it's our company. 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jockabilly 498 Posted Monday at 08:37 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:37 PM Ach Sandbank isn't that bad. As long as you drive at over forty miles an hour they find it hard to loosen you wheel nuts. 1 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
