Andy, You talk about colours but not sealers. Do you put a matt coat over the Eagles? They look quit matt in many shots, but its never mentioned. Now I have 3 of the new Eagle kits (original 22", 22" Cargo & 14"), & a new Hawk, I was wondering how to finish them with a top sealer coat. If only to save the decals flaking off eventually.

Having had a good comparitive look at the instructions of this kit & the Sverdlovsk Prod. Spring 1942 kit: MA35260, The differences are extra armour to the mantlet, Turret & bow plate, a revised turret assembly, New drivers hatch & a pair of new drive sprockets. Hope this helps.

Mind = Blown! Honestly, I'd build more Revel kits if the had better packaging.

As usual, I'm late to the party, But this has been a most enlightening build from start to (nearly) finish. All this will help with my own build, But as i came in late, my tardiness has brought dividends & i bought the Meng offering instead. I really feel for you with those tracks, Mate! Honestly, I would have waited for the Fruil's to turn up, Rather than fight summink thats gonna come off anyway. Still, Congrats on the victory, & i look forward to your next build.

Any progress on this one? It looks amazing!

Not long got back. Great show, Especially for a 1st run. & i spent money!!!!! Hope it comes back next year.

Mine turned up yesterday. Tax man was clearly looking the other way, So even more reason to celebrate! In use, They feel light, comfortable & sharp! After the first few cuts, You adapt to them surprisingly quickly, & they have now supplanted the Xurons & even my favourite Tamiya side cutters as the de-facto clippers in the arsenel. Money VERY well spent!!!!!

Great reference pix, MagMan! & thanks to Julien, I'm now gonna have to buy the Gun, If only for completeness.... It's a great kit to put together, But the etch is like battleship armour! (ironic or what?!?)

Been sniffin' around these for months. Read review..... SOLD! & as a new member, I saved 3 bucks! (however much >that< is! )

Someone say "build thread"?!?!?

Part 2 is pretty much exclusively for the airwing, Part 3 is mainly the island & the CIWS areas.

Looking forward to this!

Just got back from watching them go over at Trafalgar Square. They came in over St. Martins in the Field & looked spectacular! BUT.... Where were the Drones that were supposed to be included?

Three observations: 1. GREAT stuff!!! 2. That grey camo has a very 'Russian' feel to it, Like a Yak or summink...? 3. I'm amazed you didn't use more Lead in that -509!! WOW, that's like a Black Widow, CoG-wise!

Now THIS i gotta see! Straight conversions are one thing: THIS?!?! Different ship AND scale?!?! Probably easier to convert it into a Spitfire..... Best of luck with this one, Mike!
