P-47D Thunderbolt "Razorback". Tamiya 1/72.
Elkin replied to Andrés S.'s topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Hi Can you let me know how you get on with the decals please as I have this sheet? I tried to use the other decals for Miss Mutt but they just curled up on and would not stick to the model, they felt different to other Kits world decals I have used as well, they felt very thick! I wandered if I had a dodgy sheet so interested to find out if its a 1 off as I want to order the sheet again but I am slightly reluctant at the moment in case its the same. Thanks in advance. Pete -
I had an email back from Airfix basically saying the department is snowed under and it could take 28 days to sort it out. Hope its going to be quicker.

Thank you, I will do that as soon as I get home.

Good morning guy's. Building this kit at the moment and enjoying it a lot. I thought I would tape the fuselage together with the completed interior and add the canopy to see how much could be seen. It was then I discovered both canopies are unusable! They both have quite major hair line flaws and what can only be described as orange peeling. Has anyone else had or got this issue? Also how good are Airfix with replacement parts? Thanks in advance. Pete

1/72 - Sikorsky CH-54 Tarhe by ICM Models - box art - release in 2025

We need a new HH-3E in 1:72 to go with this! -
Hi Dennis, my exact point, if they are offering a corrected flush wing set why not do them correctly in the fist place! £29.99 for that price I will carry on using filler!
-
Looking forward to this kit but hoping it will have accurate wings and not require filling the panel lines in. I can never understand people harping on about accuracy and then accepting P-51's having panel lines all over the wings! Hopefully Eduard will give the correct rendition of the wings or at least the option of an additional set.
-
Fantastic, all we need now is the Brazilian Air Force variant.
-
Really looking forward to this as I will need quite a lot for all my decal sheets, also looking forward to the D/K version. One question though, why did you do the panel lines on the wings? It's a real pain filling these all the time.

Airfix did the Swift but have neglected to produce a far better candidate, The De Havilland Venom ! No decent 1:72 kit available, why ?
-
Its a mix up in the pics, the Shavit has the pointed nose and enlarged fin top among other things. Both kits have the relevant parts.

Good evening Guy's, I am trying to find out some information regarding 234 SQN RAF for a friend who is an ex RAAF Mirage pilot. His father was a pilot with 234 during WWII and his family have his log books. What is puzzling him is there appear to be quite a few entries where the squadron escorted 617 SQN, he is trying to find out if this was a coincidence or there was some sort of association between the Squadrons. Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance. Pete on behalf of Ex SQN LDR Halloran RAAF

Would like the YO-3 but at nearly £50 at the rubbish exchange rates I think I will carry on scratch building one.

Airfix to Launch Anything over the Festive Period???
Elkin replied to rob's topic in The Rumourmonger
I don't know about anyone else but I can't be bothered to look anymore. -
Typical, wait all your life for a decent (will judge when I have the kit in hand) 1:72 scale Mirage to come along and suddenly there is a flood of them ! At the moment I like the HPM kit, I have corrected the nose and cast some off so I am quite happy, its just the cost of them that holds me back from purchasing them by the dozen.

Good evening Petr I have never been so excited about seeing a new release as I have over your Mirage III/V family. It is my favorite jet of all time and I have already built over 30 of your F.1's, the III/V however in all honesty I have lost count of how many I wish to build on top of the 50 I currently have ! My wife on the other hand just says oh no, good buy moor money! Still it will be easy for her to choose presents for me. Only two points regarding the Swiss Mirage, some aircraft had a different nose cone because of the American radar and the nose u/c leg and cover were different. Can't wait for these and hope to see a South American boxing, Asian boxing, African boxing, European - oops sorry getting carried away, so excited!!!!! -
IAI Kfir C12 Colombian AF 1/72
Elkin replied to dolphin38's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Very nice build sir. I have this on my to do list. -
Very nice, never enough Delta's !
-
Very Nice sir. I am just in the process of converting 1 to a C10 and another to a C COD of the FAC. Just having a little difficulty with the decals at the moment. Peter

Good evening This is my first posting on Britmodeller and I just wanted to share a couple of my builds. They are a Venezuelan AMD Mirage III EV, RVaircraft kit, and an Ecuadorian Kfir TC, AMK kit crossed with the twin seat parts from a Highplanes Mirage IIID. Both are 1:72 and the colour schemes are applied freehand. The TC was great fun and just needed a bit of cutting and thinning of parts to make it all come together. I hope you enjoy them and welcome any comments. Elkin
