The only differences in the plastic that I can see between the Revell FGR2 and a Hasegawa FG1 are the tailplane sprues, The Revell kit has sprue K carrying the unslotted tailplanes and the Hasegawa FG1 has sprue J carrying slotted tailplanes and the FG1 extended nosewheel leg. All the others parts would appear to be identical in both boxings.

TAMIYA Quad Gun Tractor, abandoned, found anywhere in 1956, 1/35
Andrew Jones replied to Harry Callahan's topic in Ready for Inspection - Armour
As others say a very well represented picture of decay , but strangely the tyres look remarkably clean. -
Spitfire -Ocean Grey, Hunter - Dark Sea Grey , not the same colour, Tamiya's Ocean Grey was introduced for their 1/32 Spitfire, it's a reasonable match.

The Airfix 1/32 17 pdr kit is a pure Airfix product and has never been issued by any other model company , Bronco do a very nice 17 pdr kit in 1/35, and also a kit for the 17/25 pdr gun , which is basically a 17pdr barrel on the 25pdr carriage. Andrew

In 1/35 scale you also have the choice of the Bronco or Dragon kits , both are very well detailed with the Bronco kit possibly having the edge , but at the cost of a bit fiddlier build. Both build into a far more detailed model than the rather old Tamiya kit. Andrew

Pity there's a couple of fairly basic mistakes in this kit , firstly the body is not a G.S. type but in fact represents a Machinery Body, and secondly the tyres are of a post war type not seen on wartime WOT6's . The mistakes probably stem from using a restored lorry as a pattern , pity really as the kit itself is very nice . Andrew

Probably carried in one of the units many 3 tonners .

I have seen it described as being a " sickly yellow " colour , so I believe Zinc Chromate primer may be a good match. Andrew

Going to school in the 1960's , living in a rural area , the owner of a local garage used to run the school cars. We used to get picked up in an elderly Morris Oxford car, and found it a delight . As youngsters we would lift up the mats on the floor then lift up the pieces of plywood and watch the road speed by under our feet , through the rust holes in the floor, some of which were fairly sizeable.

I have seen it written that some pilots considered the F XVIII the ultimate Spitfire , Whilst the 20 series Spitfires were more powerful aircraft they lost a certain something, and the F XVIII had a better overall balance . Andrew

Yellow leading edges were I believe a Fighter Command identity marking , so any fighter aircraft not under this umbrella would not need to carry them , although , as you do point out some aircraft do carry them in other commands. Andrew

Hard to tell without seeing the new Airfix FXIV , but I would think cross-kitting with an Eduard FVIII would be the easiest. The Eduard kit will give you the C type wing with short ailerons and the high back spine and canopy. Andrew

An ideal first entry to 1/35 armour would be Tamiya's Cromwell tank , accurate , easy to build and a nice model when finished . Andrew

A swoop of Swifts

Apparently a group of Swifts can be a "swoop"- 24 replies
