1/72 -Northrop GAMMA by FRROM-Azur and Special Hobby
occa replied to 172flogger's topic in The Rumourmonger
The photo where JWM posted the link to reveals nice details about the lower nose to wing transition This kind of putting the fuselage above the center wing section is common to most Northrop designs from that period. -
We still don't have enough scales, it's a pity. (<sarcasm) I just understand why they introduce another scale foe air related subjects, they could just have done it in 1/18 where at least a few kits already exist.

1/72 - Kawasaki Ki.100-I (new variant) by RS Models - released
occa replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Michael I think if in the kits you have (FP2 and FP 17) have exactly the same content then someone fooled you when they sold it to you, the kits respectively the parts especially the wing should be markedly different. Cheers Martin -

occa replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
I was just pointing to that both review links you gave above were dealing with the old kits. FP17 and FP22 are the newer tools, these kits also abandoned using the Hasegawa wing and so have a new wing. Tho not interested in engaging in a battle about this lol, cheers. -

1/72 - Kawasaki Ki.100-I (new variant) by RS Models - released

You must mean the old one which was based on the Hasegawa Ki-61 wing with a short run fuselage added. They have new-tooled the kit long ago and these kits are very good. -
Matchbox/Revell 1/72nd Heinkel He115C-1
occa replied to Heather Kay's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
The vac canopy really pays off, normally the rough canopy frames on this kit are very difficult to handle and spoil the looks. Super result !! -

I don't know why my earlier post in this respect was removed but I say again but express it a bit more cautious, a Hudson new 'Hockleed' series in 1/72 'will it be' -

So now I can sell my Revell-Takara kit ;( -
The single blader would be more interesting
-
IMO one can see what I mean in this photo ^^ the S the sides make. Basically seen from above the fuselage ends in a flat triangle but the fin's sides itself are slightly bulged parallels.

Those S-lines I meant about are at the area of the leading edge of the fin not at the trailing edge of the rudder. One can even imagine this from the other picture you linked to. Best example is to take a Hase fuselage and look closer at the complex transition of the fuselage end into the fin.

1/72 - Fairey Battle Mk.I by FRROM - 3D renders - release in 2022 ?
occa replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
Excellent !!! -
The leading edge of the fin is wrong, an error copied from other models, Hasegawa eg has the correct shape. It wasn't that blunt at the root ... actually it was sharp there also and the profile of the sides of the fin making an S curve above where the fuselage ends.

Those rivets look childish if you ask me, like modellers are asking for fantasy products ... And a whole gang out to push the new standard down our throats as if it was the only valid opinion to have these unrealistic bolts on every new model, aaaarrggghh ...............................................................................
