    Me too.....

    That sort of nonsense seems to be the prevailing 'style' just about everywhere these days unfortunately.....

    Available here as a pre-order for euro 55.86: https://www.aviationmegastore.com/en/modelling/kamov-ka-52-russian-attack-helicopter-zvezda-4830-202908.html

    I suspect it was an error? The kit is not even available yet on Special Hobby's own website and their latest newsletter says it won't be released until next month.

    To be honest, I never got the fascination with the F-86A, to me the later versions were always more interesting. However, I also never realised that the A carried so many colour schemes (I've only ever seen it depicted in those terminally boring Korean war schemes) and I've now gone from having no interest at all in the Clearprop kit to thinking I might even buy one.....

    Couldn't agree more, I just don't get the current 'cover everything in rivets' fad at all. I keep hoping it'll eventually pass, but unfortunately it doesn't look like doing so anytime soon. I'm sure it's heresy to many on here, but to my eye the older, rivet-free Hasegawa kit looks far better. However, as you say, other people's mileage will no doubt vary.....

    Thanks for documenting this in so much detail, very helpful. Looking at your build in its primer finish, I'm thinking I could live with that result. It definitely looks like a whole lot less hard work than the Classic Airframes one that I gave up on mid-build years ago.....it had a nice resin cockpit, but to say that the plastic parts fitted where they touched would be a considerable understatement!

    This post - and your previous one - very useful and much appreciated. I was leaning more towards a 'no', but have more or less decided to buy one at this stage!

    I could maybe go for a Spitfire PR. XI, but not another Hellcat.....WWII's most boring fighter colours and markings-wise.

    We'll have to agree to disagree about that. To me, your above quote could just as easily be applied to the Cold War period!

    As I'm in my mid-60s, this also very much applies to me! I I'd also be far more interested in buying an even reasonably decent-looking kit of a 1950s jet than yet another of the never-ending WWII subjects offered by most manufacturers.

    I completely agree, I'm really very tired of the whole WWII thing at this stage. I struggle to understand the seemingly never-ending fascination with the 1939-45 period.

    Would those not be P-51Cs?

    I think Eduard usually sells its box art as posters (under the brand 'Eduart' on their website) once the kit is issued.....

    That's a beautiful F4U build, your shot of the finished model in black and white above the picture of the full-size aircraft shows how accurate the model is. Nice save on the white decals too, I'd never have thought of doing that.....now added to my list of possible decalling techniques!
