One 48

Question as in title really, late dad worked with Harriers inc early Gr1, what is available in 1/48 sorry if my questions seem daft, getting back into hobby again and want to focus on 1/48, been out of loop a long time.

Thanks again, seriously considering this one.

Great weathering, have built a few of these Tamiya 1/6 Bike kits, always fun builds.

Thanks.

Hi, is this the Hasegawa Harrier re-boxed?

Wow, looks great, think I'll get one of these, great work.

Thanks again folks, ordered a Tamiya 1/48 109 E, looking at an Eduard 110 and an Airfix Stuka as near future purchases. Am thinking sticking to 1/72 for bombers now, already have 2 of each 1/72 Lancs and B-17's, will look at 1/72 Do 17's and 111's soon, bound to be more choice in this scale, really do need to sell off my 1/32 stash, I was crazy to think I'd have room to display them. Really was surprised with the quality of those 2 1/72 Lancs especially, new tool ones, 1/72 has come on a long way since the first time I tried 1/72 decades ago. Love the WNW 1/32 stuff, will keep that, they are not that big once built, have a 1/32 Dambuster Lanc on pre-order from Hannants, will cancel that and order up a couple of Dr 1's once available, those and Tamiya 1/32 single engine fighters I'll keep, will sell my Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito I think for afore mentioned size considerations.

Thanks guys, will do more research, but reading between the lines might hold off on a good 1/48 Do 17 and even same scale He 111 for BoB area and hope Tamiya or Airfix do them one day. Without starting a new thread, what about good 1/48 BoB Stuka's, 109's and 110's?

Very nice, very inspiring, bought this kit last week.

Looking to do a full set of BoB era aircraft in 1/48, good to go for the Hurricane and Spit MK1's, (Airfix n Tamiya) I'll need a 109 and Stuka too of course, but always wanted to build a Do 17 especially, have a 1/32 HE 111 that will be getting sold and would like a good quality HE 111 in quarter scale too. Focusing on a Do 17 though for now though, I understand there are one or two kits out there, BoB ones? ICM I think it is, is one manufacturer, how are they for quality and ease of fit? I guess not up to Tamiya standards, but anything reasonably well fitting will be fine, not a greatly skilled modeller to be honest but can make a decent model out of something that Tamiya do these days ... who cant? Advice appreciated please.

I'll have one of each, they will sell fast I guess so will pre-order as soon as I see a chance.

Thanks Guys, appreciate the feedback a lot, kit n decals have arrived now from Hannants, its been a while since I've built, but have fairly good gear, airbrush, extractor ETC. I think can hit the ground running now, love the Hurricane as an Aircraft especially, going to enjoy building this one, waiting too for a parcel from Japan with the new Tamiya 1/48 Spit MK1 and 109 too, very pleased, thanks for all help.

Is the new tool Airfix 1/48 Sea Hurricane in danger of going out of stock soon too, the more I look at it, the more I like it Does any modern Airfix 1/48 Hurricane kit include all parts, for all their releases in new tool 1/48? I can probably grab an Airfix 1/48 Sea Hurricane dedicated boxing soon, especially if i thought it was rare, not interested in the box itself, just what can be built from inside it. happy to buy after market decals. Going back to my original request here for a MK1 Hurricane and thanks again, expecting delivery later today from Hannants of an Airfix Hurricane. Its so good to get back into the hobby again. My Hannants order. 1AX05129Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Tropical version (1SHUS) 1EDEX470Hawker Hurricane Mk.I camouflage pattern paint m... 1X48144Re-printed! Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Battle of Brit... Postage: £3.90 (Royal Mail 2nd class WITH TRACKING) From the Decals I want to build Douglas Bader's Hurricane. From the EDEX camo pattern i ordered, hope this will make the camo painting easier, hope it works, have never tried it before, even hope its reusable, because I want to build more Hurricane's now for sure.

I do see Tire/Wheels on the sprue's but will likely buy weighted ones.

Interesting stuff, so tempted to buy from Airfix themselves with Airfix's own website saying free postage on £50 n over, so as a treat ... a late birthday treat, what other Airfix 1/48 aircraft should I include? Heard Airfix are realy up there with Tamiya now too. Now I'm back again in 1/48, is the Airfix new tool Walrus or Bolton Paul Defiant seem OK, seen some reviews of the Hurricane and quite impressed, its the Hurricane in 1/48 BOB I really need.

Thanks WIP, never knew that, see plenty of the Tropical ones ... I doubt it includes BoB era decals though ... right? they can always be bought after market I guess. Thanks very much for quick reply.

Yes, it includes correct weight to avoid tail sitting, love it when you get that, takes away the guess work, also like the mirrored plates provided for inside engine nacelles, on the 1/32 Trumpeter P-38 I have (and will now be E-baying) They have it as a clear part, its mirrored to check gear is up or down ... I think.

Went looking for a new tool 1/48 Airfix MK1 Hurricane from BoB era, the (new tool kit) cant seem to find one anywhere, inc Hannants, are they out of production already?

Looks wonderful, two sets of markings, canopy masks and nose weight included. Clicky

No NMF finish for this model and mark I guess, perhaps that will come in another release, still buying this one though.

PlazaJapan are thieves? Not sure what you mean? Hope not, my order is in.

Thank you, never knew of that place, just ordered the Spit and 109, came out a little more expensive than that but still a great price for 2 kits I'd been contemplating for a while anyway !

Count me in.
