    I have just the other day finished up the RBF, and what an almost total pleasure this kit was to build. An article is set to come in AMW in the near future. Almost looking to do another variant, but then there are so many projects asking for attention...

    Nice! Really looking forward to a most possible Gulf War version sometime later. I just hope the Bucc will be a bit better than the recent Airfix Phantoms, which left me somewhat underwhelmed.

    Excellent write-up, many thanks! šŸ™‚

    Andre, many thanks! šŸ™‚

    Just to be sure, the only difference between the RBF compared to the RBT is the nose, right? The KFS review does seem to say so, if my translation is correct. I have an Eduard Zoom set and a set of QB air scoops labelled for the RBT but I assume they work on either version? The kit I have sitting on the bench is the RBF. True, there might be minor differences in the cockpit between the two versions, but they are both still recce versions. šŸ™‚

    Excellent build and a very helpful article, many thanks! šŸ™‚šŸ‘šŸ»

    That sounds like a plan. Too much work for me to even consider, though. On the other hand, the old Airfix Lancaster is most certainly no shake and bake - rivets or no rivets.

    Thanks Noel, agreed an all counts. Forgot to say I once had the new tool Lancaster but after getting aftermarket etch and decals I realised I couldn't live with those panel lines. True, not quite Matchbox style but still. Now I'm about ready to have another go at the Lancaster but with the 1980s release. Will ponder the rivet problem a bit more...

    Bringing up this old topic as I was curious about the 1980s Airfix Lancaster compared to their new tool offering. I also tend to favour the more restrained (albeit raised) panel lines of the older kit, but what about the rivets? Would it be better to remove and replace them with a riveter, or perhaps keep the rivets as is and replace them with HGW positive rivets where they might disappear during construction?
  10. Anders_Isaksson
    Gents, many thanks for your input. šŸ‘šŸ» Looks like the Trumpeter A (9-12) currently is the way to go then.

    Reviving this older topic, but I canā€™t seem to find any info on a Zvezda MiG-29 (9-12). As it now is 2019, has their kit been released? Looking for the best 1/72 scale standard MiG-29A and Zvezda seem to offer the better kit of this subject, but of other versions... šŸ¤”

    Many thanks for taking the time to look for an answer, Chris! I figure som scratchbuilding would be required to depict the fule filler area... will have to ponder this some. Thanks again!
  13. Anders_Isaksson
    Nice build! Just curious, but where is the fuel filler cap located on the Valentine? I have googled without any clear info, and considering the new Panzer Art tank crew refueling I just now got an interest in building the Valentine for a vignette.
  14. Anders_Isaksson
    Thanks for the confirmation! And yes, it is indeed a nice kit (from what I can see in the box).
  15. Anders_Isaksson
    Thanks J-W, I may give the Techmod decals a try then. And yes, I would be surprised if indeed there would be any difference between the two releases.
  16. Anders_Isaksson
    Is it safe to say that the recent RAF Mitchell is the same basic kit plastic but with a new set of decals? I already have the B-25C/D with a Techmod sheet for RAF Mitchells and considering how difficult those decals can be to apply I lean towards getting the dedicated Airfix release. On the other hand, maybe I should stick to the kit I have and just go with Techmod. Decisions, decisions... šŸ˜
  17. Anders_Isaksson
    Thank you, Dave. And thanks for the link.
  18. Anders_Isaksson
    (I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right group but here goes...) I suppose this recently released kit is a straight rebox? https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/supermarine-spitfire-mk22-24-1-48.html I searched BM but did not find any topics where this release is discussed. Thanks in advance.
  19. Anders_Isaksson
    Yes, as I understand it this issue concerns the small air intakes on either side.
  20. Anders_Isaksson
    So the inner nacelles has a set of bigger air intakes on the sides? Excellent info, good to know! I will look into this matter for my Lanc and will get back to you if I would need a set. Many thanks in advance for your kind offer!
  21. Anders_Isaksson
    Are you referring to the big air intake or the smaller ones on the sides? I don't have the set at hand when writing this so can't check if there are different versions of the air intakes.
  22. Anders_Isaksson
    A somewhat belated thanks for your input! (Somehow I forgot to turn on reply notifications for this thread.) I'll use your info to move the window back a bit. Also, I just recieved the Belcher engines and they look the part for sure, looking forward to use them soonish. I will contemplate doing a WIP here on BM but haven't decided yet. Thanks again!
  23. Anders_Isaksson
    Looking really nice! I hope you don't mind me asking but I'm just now reading up on the Tamiya Lanc and someone (somewhere) mentioned re-positioning the rectangular side window to a more correct location. Can anyone give any clues as to where the window should be moved? From looking at photos it seems the proper position is a bit further aft and up, but I am open to other information on this issue. Thanks!

    Thinking about building the newish Airfix B-25C/D as an RAF Mk II as I can't wait for their dedicated release later this year. But which type of harness would they have been fitted with, US or British?
  25. Anders_Isaksson
    Great info here, thanks! As for RAF Mitchells, would they be equipped with the RAF type harness? Thinking about buildig the recent B-25C/D as an RAF Mk II. While Airfix have advertised this version Iā€™m not sure I can wait for it...
