Probably this one: Aviation 72 AV7226017 1/72 DHC1 CHIPMUNK IRISH AIR CORPS 168 | eBay

Unboxed and coupling missing, Hits the prices hard.

TBH he is kinda right At the moment I am packed with Irish Stock which is a good problem to have compared to years ago and purchased a lot of stuff enthusiastically each time a new model popped out. I found out the fiddle yard I had designed for a UK based Layout for 3 coach trains is too small now for Irish Block Trains, IR/IE Era. Also flogging off surplus stuff I will never run or need as well. constructed in the constraints of a 15 x 10ft space I will be a lot more focused on what I will be buying in future and stick to an Era where as before I was picking with blind enthusiasm. Have loads of coaches too, Again too many for a medium layout, Gonna pass on any Mk.3 as they are just too long. Only the PP yokes. The pic is a Mk.3 8 set on a 12ft long scenic section so shows how long these trains are. (not mine BTW) Hope to get rid of the Portabcabin and go to a 30ft steeltech shed with insulation (10ftx10ft office / 20ftx10ft model room) so work really has halted on this as the exhibition layout is impracticable to move as a one man band. (Not sure why the text has turned red) the pi

Had a look at it the last time I was down there, Too Small by far for Boats. These yokes are well small.

Pity the pond is now big enough to hold a Proper RC Model Boat Gala. Small enough for the Pay boats too. Fella's nicking stuff of the track? Nuts.

Bit suss on the Dapol stuff, My Western Packed up after not much use, I love a Class 73 but they don't have a good rep either. Not sure how these yokes fair out.

Ruston? so not an O2....Sad....

Yes posting is tough for sure.

Get some Etched wipers from SSM, Look better too.

One on one of the Irish trading / Selling Facebook sets a week or so ago for sale. Dont think it sold either.

Balls will be at a Wedding in Rome , double Whammy. will miss Innishannon too.. Spose I have to make up for it with a visit to the Italian Air Force Museum, tough going...

Possibly the best MR show in Ireland now, Quality stuff on show. Actually would of loved to of gone a 2nd day too.

Dont think we are allowed to put those kinda of pictures up here.;)

Great to meey your Noel, The Layout was superb, Testament to your Modelling skills. I would of thought had you have a run through layout it would of snatched best layout IMHO.

Saw the version on the show and got to hold it, the underneath is very very impressive. Just hope the couplings will get some level of Continental Closeness with gangways as close as possible!! Must see which ones suit now!! Well done IRM.

I certainly don't remember them but then again zero interest in buses no surprise to me on that one. Bus lads will love em.

Another milestone for IRM! Just wondering I take it that the lighting issues seen on the Mk.5 stock be addressed in these new models, some folks were not too happy with the MK5 coach lighting looking at some reviews and also a bit of flickering due to pick ups? Reading the spec I see the Coaches have a single bogie pick up and Cap so this will sort the flickering out? Cant remember if there was Caps in the Mk.5 nicely enhanced in the Below Vid.

Load of track in that layout!!. Keep the piccies coming.

Quite the lovely little Model there.

Very Education Eoin. Nice little kit too.

Oh Wowsers that will be something to look forward too.

Thanks for the Heads up on that one. Could clear these myself but they will probably charge a hand over fee. No win.

Just wondering why can't the answer be on this thread in case someone else who has not ran these yet may have the same issue? I notice any issues like the stay alive that has popped up twice on the forum and one or two other re couplings come up here twice was not even commented on by any IRM Folks.

Hi Lads Bought this kit ages ago and has been part of the stash for a long while , With the Demise of Humbrol availability in Ireland as Marks are no longer stocking it and I could not be arsed mixing Revell paints.Time was needed for a change and I found AK Provide complete paint sets but these were Acrylic, Something I stayed away from as mixing and matching enamels can lead to disaster. This one I plumed for was the Israeli paint set and I had This kit and a Italieri F-16B in waiting to be done. The Eduard kit was billed as a weekend edition but did not say how many weekends and it turn out to be a dog of a kit and is on the go now for a while the fit being pretty bad. The Final Gloss coat going on over the weekend and now being left to cook before the washed go one. The AK paints go on quite well, Take a bit of getting used to and I reckon as only good through a top feed airbrush as the paint separates from the thinner after a short while. one downside is that the paint are so thin they can easily rub off so a primer is recommended even though the 'Influencers' tell you otherwise. Happy with the Results so far. Marks stock the AK range now in their shops to so happy days.
