They are from the HobbyMaster range. They do three sets, Modern NATO. USAF/USN (as above) and another with WW2 RAF/Luftwaffe and Soviet pilots. They are pre painted and are intended for putting into their diecast range but they are fine for kits as well.

Looking at the last link they are bringing out a fourth set. Hope this helps.

All the best.

OK Folks. I've been attacking plastic again and the three airframes are complete and painting has started. I have taken pictures but it's very late and I'm off to bed soon so I'll upload them tomorrow.
The P51B will be Don Gentile's 'Shangri la'
The starfix will be in Dominican air force.
The Airfix will be in Israeli suez campaign markings.

All the best.

Thanks for asking. She's still not right but she's better than she was. she's started eating semi solid food now and is off the baby food (I kid you not, that was all she could stomach and that was only in small amounts) The seizures seem to have gone but she still has bad stomach pains.
Pics of the stangs up later.

All the best.

State of play just before packing in for the night. After this pic was taken the first coat of brown cammo went on to the Airfix P51D.

Sorry about the pics being not too good. The others were unusable.

All the best.

Some decent progress here Greg and I hope your better half gets her health back quickly, it sounds like she's had a nasty do there.

Cheers Shaun. She certainly has. to be honest she thought that this was it for her and to be honest I was very worried about that too at one point.

All the best.

Thanks Sissel. With luck I'll get my home PC sorted and I'll get the completed build pics up soon.

All the best.
