Taking the cue from Dysag, in no particular order my favourite European models of childhood days were:
- Loren (Sophia) in "Boy on a Dolphin"
- Lollobrigida (Gina) in "Bread, Love and Dreams"
- Mangano (Sylvana) in "Bitter Rice"
- Ekberg (Anita) in "La Dolce Vita"
Dear Santa,
I know we are in the midst of the GFC, the global warming issue is on the agenda but I have been good all year, any chance that you could put a 1/24th scale Airfix Mosquito in my stocking?
Regards
CLX

Is the 1:24 Mossie going to be available in limited numbers or is it expected to be produced and sold in sufficient numbers to supply demand (yes the price will moderate demand)?
CLX - where in Australia do you expect to be able to order one?

My favorite childhood model was a Monroe. Superbly put together.

Talair - amazing to see that livery again. What a place !
It's hard to imagine the words "extreme" and "modelling" together.
This comes pretty close. Look at the attention to detail in some of these pictures. Enjoy.

boys toys! WESTLAND WESSEX
Hi guys. well i havnt finished growing up yet!! here is a video of my scratch built westland wessex YouTube - westland wessex has 1 CHEERS 
cac sabre, which F-27 is that, Revell or Airfix? You did a great job on it. Nice to see the port side of your DC-3. I commented on the fine finish on the starboard side over on Hyperscale. 
Here's my effort on two examples of the same model.
And a rarity:
That's the Williams Brothers 1:72 C-46F that I modified to an E model by cutting away the greenhouse and adding a stepped windshield.

I definitely won't be posting any photos of my models, after seeing the high quality work done by these guys!!!
CAC, the MMA and Talair decals did you print them?

Talon and things
Two of my friends had the Talon, one powered by a Enya 2.5 the other bloke used an AM 35. They flew them on 50 foot lines and they went very well, did allsorts, except vertical eights (chicken!).
The ED Racer diesel was a good engine, I'm surprised the glow version was a slug, ED had the habit of producing really good engines and really bad ones. The ED Bee was next to useless but the Hawk was a very good 1.5 and it looked nice!
