tonyot Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Wow,.....really looking forward to this one,........... finally be able to add a few GR.V`s to my collection at last! Are the beam gun hatches moulded into the outside of the fuselage halves or do they need to be cut out from inside?

petr@SpecialHobby Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hello Tony, the Mk.V version hatches have been made as clear parts because of the rounded window in them. The modeller will have to cut out the fuselage opening, the shape of the hatches has been indicated inside the fuselage by slightly depressed skin.

Mike Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Speaking as someone with a 1:48 Herc and an Alpha Flight Sundy, I am not old son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petr@SpecialHobby Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I keep tellin ya all the time you are NOT. and well, perhaps sometimes, with nothing more urgent to finish first we might get tempted to your great big Sundy. And what a piece of furniture it will be then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 It would be awesome Petr.... it is big, but not too big, and if us modellers are ok with a 1:48 Lanc, I think a Sundy, and dare I say it a Stirling in 1:48 would be grail-type material for a lot of folks, not just me. Why mention a Stirling? Shared heritage, and some commonality of wing parts, IIRC? It's a long time since I've been delving into the types, but I think that's the case? Maybe someone with more info and a better memory might be able to help clarify. So ends my begging letter Sorry for the 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
