How about something different like a Val, Kate, or Helldiver. No one has made any of these.

The Texas Longhorn is the best piece of diecast on market IMHO of course.

Fingers crossed I get it,

I would love an N or a B from Gemini in 1/72 please.

Ah Oh. What is Lorraine gonna do / say if you win?

I can see HM doing the Helldiver and others, as there line up leans heavily towards the Pacific theater.

Pretty unlikely but i would like to see a Mosquito as i was never over impressed with the painted on nose windows of corgis?? and would love to see a beaufighter and fury off them

OUTSTANDING! I need some pointers from you. I couldn't smuggle Old Exterminator past my wife -- it was/is too big, and with that fierce shark mouth... well... let's just say, she noticed.

It sort of adds an edge to the hobby,good old "perseverance" is the word. (and sympathetic neighbours).

Funny thing but of late Lorraine has been reading some of my aviation books, she was really hooked on Geoff Wellums book called First light.
She then read Bomber boys and is now reading Fighter boys and says they are very good but sometimes they make her cry when some young chap gets killed.
My next ploy is to get her to read the Desert Squadron, its about flying P40s in the desert!
She can already tell the difference between certain marks of Spitfire and her favourite plane is the Mustang.
I am tempted to buy her a Dragon Mustang but I dont think we are ready for that jump of faith yet.


What do you make of that?



BTW Please Gemini make a P40 please, any mark except an E, I have enough of those.How about a nice N model.

You ain't kiddin'! Although, right now, I could do without the edge... I have 5 parcels on the way... the most I have ever had at one time. (Not to mention I have recently picked up six 007 DVDs within a two week time period). Oh lord, please help me!

Uh... darling... Sean, Pierce, or Daniel... you pick...
