    Italeri 1/9 triumph 3HW ( a civilian Triumph tiger 80) I am not one to build the same kit twice normally unless there has been a lot of water under the bridge. I think I built my first Airfix 1/24 Mk1 spit at about 14 years old and half a dozen more over the next 50 years. Likewise with the...

    Revell 1/32 Meteor F.8/FR.9

    I hope if they are going to have removable panels they are suitably thinned and they dont just make the internals slightly smaller and go for thick panels.
