Learstang Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 That looks a bit of alright! Not into 1/48th scale, but there are always exceptions. This may be one. It would look nice next to my 1/48th scale FR.46 and Wyvern, if I ever build them. Regards, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venomvixen Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong but dont SH usually release a upgraded version sometimes later? The reason why I ask is the cockpits on both this one and the Mark one are a bit sparse especially when compared to the AZ version. I thought the Fulmar was the same, first release was a bit naff inside, jolly nice outside (unless your one of the usual whiners from seppogonia) and came out later with lots of extra treasure. I'm hoping the same will be for this piece of airbourne poetry. And for those with delicate sensibilities yes I am judging it purely on the above photo's (dreadful cyber warrior I am) but rest assured I will post my finding along with some delightful photographic evidence of the 1/1 Firefly I've been climbing over for the last 20 years!

davidelvy Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 That makes the Firefly look far more exciting than any other picture of it that I have seen. So much more effective than the box art for the Mk IV/V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Mark IV/V (Based on 20 years + maintaining & restoring Fireboxes) http://www.aussiemodeller.com.au/pages/Reviews/acft%20kit/Long_SHFireflyMkV.html Now that's a review - excellent!! Thanks for the link, & thank your dad for doing that Danni, I was thinking of getting the Korean War version when it came out & he's made up my mind that I will be! Great use of the manual drawings & photos alongside the relevant kit sections - really helpful! Great stuff!! ATB Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 If anything would make me switch to 1/48 it would be these, hope for a 1/72 version of the Mk.V from them. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
