    Yeah that's pretty pricey. What about F-Toys? They also have 1/144. Really nice. I have one a biplane for Japanese battleships WW1

    I have 2 of those (but they're orange), and 2 swordfish for my Eagle (if and when I ever build it)
    F-Toys also has a Pete, but I've never seen one for sale

    Thanks for the link Iceman. I'm going to order several for Bismarck and Tirpitz.

    Okay I've e-mailed this guy about making an order.
    Is anyone else (around Halifax) interested? The kits are around $6-$10 each -- plus shipping.
    1 $Cad = 1.06 $Aus

    @Curt, I've built a pair of Sweet's FM-2 Wildcats and Zeroes. Nice kits, and they come with a flight deck team of cats and a plastic flight deck to put the models on!

    Hi slow_and_ugly,
    Have you got around to building any of those planes yet?
    I would love to see any pictures of them.
