172flogger Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Same MK.1 boxart with was displayed at the Toy Far 2014 last year. But here is a different (new?) boxart: https://www.scalemates.com/products/product.php?id=258978 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That new art is not an improvement - apart from anything else it makes the Stirling look even more ugly than it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
172flogger Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 My mistake. MK.I was displayed at Toy Far 2014 but with ugly "scalemates" boxart: http://data3.primeportal.net/models/thomas_voigt8/italeri/images/italeri_12_of_14.jpg But i know new Mk.I boxart with Bf 109 from different source. It was displayed some months ago. I don´t know where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12jaguar Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 So MacRoberts Reply is an option Although it's listed as a Mk I does anyone know if there's an optional FN50 Mid Upper to make it a Mk III? I'd really like to make it as BK710 in tribute to the the crew as many parts of this aircraft have been incorporated into our cockpit build.

John MacRoberts Relpy would be very very very nice and thank you very much indeed. Didn't the Mk III also have more powerful engines with different exhausts etc? I quite fancy doing a pathfinder Stirling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watcher Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My favourite aeroplane! This one will go into the stash! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybee Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi First thing I thought was what's the matter with the wings? Obviously one of the 109's has broken the spar in it's attack and the wings are folding......down, not up. Reminds me of a Roy Cross effort. Will buy one to see how it goes, then maybe a few more when they come down in price. Intend to make W7617 of 7 squadron Regards Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cowling configuration did change between marks but the exhaust is the most noticeable difference between then IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There is some brilliant multi-tasking going on there. Note how the bomb aimer is managing to drop the bombs AND fire the front guns at the same time. No wonder we won the war! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
