Redboost Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Dear fellow modellers, this is batch of my latest additions built for the upcoming title "Suez Crisis, Empire's End" in the Valiant Wings Extra series. While the Xtrakit Meteor F Mk.8 and Hobbyboss FGA.6 were easy affairs built mostly OOB, the "Cub Special" was pretty involving conversion project using KP J-3/L-18C kits to get something near to PA-11-90 model. More details follow in the book which is due April 2017. Cheers Libor 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi Libor, three exceptional builds! Congratulations! I am mostly interested in the Seahawk, as I really love this plane. Please confirm that this is what one gets when buying the Hobby Boss kit, which I have never had in hand. I have the ancient Airfix kit with some Aeroclub goodies, and I will build it, but I want to tackle as well a more modern kit. Your three models are outstanding.

JR JR you may find this of use the HB Sea Hawk looks very decent in the box, and I presume it's a scaled down version of the Trumpeter 1/48th kit, which I have never seen and wailing and gnashing of teeth about... Libor one point, I think the Meteor wing stripes should be black/white not green/white. see As you can see it's has been a matter of confusion, small point and the builds are excellent! cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redboost Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Thanks gents for kind comments! Jean: yes, I can confirm that. I only replaced the RP's as they looked a bit crude. Troy: thanks pointing this out, I'm aware about that. I simply followed the DP Casper instructions without too much stress. Cheers Libor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
