    Thanks, they are from a Japanese company called Sweet and they are superb. Loads of decals and the detail is unbelievable.

    What is their scale, Nigel?

    They certainly look the biz Nigel, and could be the forerunners to some Ares repaints.

    SWEET are 1/144. They have a few different models. I have the Italian Macchi C-200's I have to build. There are two plane per kit so a good buy.

    That is a great start on your desert collection! A great job on them. Sweet is their name and sweet kits they are!

    Sweet, now if they come out with desert paint jobs I will have to get a desert mat. I guess I can do that.

    Really well done Nigel I will stick to 1/200 scale though... 1/144 WGS is tempting, truly...

    This is Cigarbox mats. They have a very good selection. Saw some of their mats at the Williamsburg Muster in Feb.

    Was aways the past few days and yes Jim hade some of their mats but I think they were for ACW. There was supposed to be someone at Cold Wars but he was in a car accident and didn't make the con. Have to look for them at Historicon.

    Inspiring, Nigel. Sue, my better half, is the modeler in our marriage, but as we returned from Origins, I told her I think I can manage WWII planes. I looked at some AIM ones the other night. I think I will add a few 109s to the order.
