Guest Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Haven't seen it yet in the US but plenty of resin and PE parts available. We need a 1/48 Stranraer now......but first, where is that Airfix Spit Mk XIV kit? I have two of the Academy kits and the more I look at them the more I realize that they are perfect examples of what truly fatally flawed kits they are. Where did academy get the dims for their kit? Anyway, dear Airfix, I won't be around in 20 years and it is on my bucket list, so maybe before you release another subject that has been done to death you folks can release the Mk XIV. Maybe my wife will bury it with me? Cheers P.S. The Smer kit isn't all that bad if you want to put in a bit of work and a few aftermarket bits for the SH kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 On Hyperscale's What's New page they got a good look at what comes in the box. The Walrus is a lot smaller than I realized... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs73 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I have the kit now and while it looks good I am a bit disappointed with the interior walls being covered in ejection post marks. While they will hopefully disappear when the fuselage is closed up it is a bit of a downer. An image of the side walls is below: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Disappointed in the bas-relief lever quadrants. Would have expected separate parts in 1/48. And in 1/72 if the kit was from Eduard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
