    Most importantly Comet c4 intakes !!!!

    The problem is that they are based on official deHavilland issued 3 views which were deliberately wrong (presumably as it was the height of the cold war ...these drawings with the overly fat fronts of the leading edges of the overwing booms are very strange ) the barracuda book has a copy of the 3 views and a nice underside shot looking up at the sea Vixen ...compare the pointy slim booms with the 3 view and you will see what I mean ....

    This is crying out for a photo etched grille and interior set and resin engine pods .....come on pavla /eduard /etc

    It's a bit of a mess .it has the same fat front to the overwing booms that high planes has the nose contours are too rounded and many many other faults .at least Dragon has correctly shaped booms (albeit with reversed naca inlets ) in theory combining bits of all the vixens would produce an accurate one

    Isn't the Whirlwind underscale at 78th or 76th? Maybe they are testing the waters for a new tool ?

    Can't say I've ever heard of this subject ...is the Spitfire a well known aircraft in England or something ? 😉

    As someone who was in the trade ,and imported kits from Eastern European dealers Airfix could learn a trick and supply flat boxes and sprue's. Which makes smaller airlifted shipments viable . Or at least downsize the boxes to the 1970s sizes as all shipping is now volumetric so at a large chunk of the insane container pricing is currently shipping air not plastic .

    Hmmm jumping into this thread in the middle I have to say that Takom have clearly got the shape and markings wrong . Those underfuselage gondolas appear to be hoofed and the fuselage is too short ...also the nose is pointing down

    Well at least it looks like the June and July issues were Internet only and never printed ..which means I'm not technically missing those issues ...I'm still missing June 2020 (last year) and offering 20 gbp plus postage to anyone who can spare it to complete my set . There is a post it the wanted section as well

    It's the wrong scale ....I wish it was in 1/42nd scale .... (it's the ONLY scale I work in ......which could explain why I never seem to start anything ) 😉 ( seriously this is great ! Keep me coming MikroMir)
  22. Neil Lambess
    Love it .....looks like they designed an aircraft and then at the last minute realised that they had forgotten the cockpit !
  23. Neil Lambess
    You should move to New Zealand Airfix Victor's and Vulcan 's sell here for the equivalent of £ 90 !

    Fantastic work . Learning a lot about the aussie version ......minor issue and I hate to be that guy but I noticed it looks like you based the width of the tailplanes directly from the plans which appear to be orthographic : IE the view looking down on the tailplanes includes their dihedral , so on the plans the width is actually a few millimetres shorter than they should be . The frontal view however would also include the dihedral but would show the actual width more accuratley than the other view (if they are drawn correctly ) you may have cottoned onto that and it's the photos giving me the wrong impression (besides which it's not noticeable with the tracker , but if I had a dollar for every review I've read saying a Spitfire's wingtips are too long compared to plans and need to be sanded back (because the plan includes the dihedral ) I'lld be quite wealthy ! ...same goes for reviews of Phantom and Sea harrier tailplanes ...which are just misreading the plans...and ignoring the severe anahedral of the actual aircraft

    Maybe they have forgotten that they haven't released them .....:p
