  1. Howdy folks, I am on a 1/72 P-47 trip and was wondering how do the Academy and Revell Bubbletops compare, IIRC the belly TC scoop was a bit narrow in one of the twos, I am away from home and have no other access to documentation. Other than Tamiya's Razorback, is Academy better than Hasegawa and is the quick build Hobby Boss acceptable? Love the Bonnie that was flying at Oshkosh and would like to do a heritage pairing for Passionate Patsy after seeing the 310th FS F-16 retro paint job.

    Ju-88

    I'm thinking of getting a 1/72 scale Ju-88 Either nightfighter or bomber. Question is which is the best kit?
  3. I've recently fallen for the old Porsche 928 after Mike Brewer and Edd China did a superb job or renovating one on Wheeler Dealers. Having never really been interested in Porsches, or vehicle kits since I was a lad, I've got no idea what kit would be suitable, but noticed that Hannants had a 1:24 Italeri kit of an S4, and a 1:20 Tamiya kit that looked a bit more like the one they did. Can any of you knowledgeable car builders point me in the right direction to the best kit?
  4. Following the interest and good comments on a thread I started about the XIV kits, I am going to create another thread but this time about the IX. In this thread I will sum up the pros and cons of each kit from the mainstream manufacturers. I to create a useful resource to those looking for the best IX kit. Airfix (IX) Pros Pretty cheap at £7 Really easy to get your hands on Really easy to build Nice decals (two options) Good shape and looks good overall Cons Deep panel lines Wing chord too thick at roots No cockpit detail The canopy is fairly thick and one piece No detail in the wheel wells General lack of detail Italeri (IX) Pros Very cheap Three piece canopy Nice panel details Easy build Nice glass pieces Small and pointy rudder High flying versions (separate kit) Cons Small nose (as was on the V's converted to IX's FILLER MONSTER Inaccurate blisters Detail lacking Sloped radiators KP (IX & XVI highback) Pros It's fairly cheap Decals are good and there's few different options Cons Raised panel lines Rubbish cockpit Needs filler Shapes a bit wrong in places Bad detail Bad wheels Canopy looks totally wrong as does the mirror AZ Model (IX, VII, VIII & XVI) Pros Brilliant detail Brilliant decals Good price (the Joypack is excellent price at around £15 for 3 (without decals)) Panel detail is fantastic Two or three piece canopy Very accurate Cons I've never made the kit so I can't comment Reviews basically say there are no significant bad points Clipped wing tips have to be sawn off if you want to glue on normal span Sword (IX & XVI) Pros Comes with resin Good canopy Fantastic details Great decals Builds very well very accurate Good all over Cons It is a bit expensive at £13 Not for beginers Heller Pros It's ok price It's a good shape overall The prop is, in fact, very very kids out of the cheaper kits Cons Raised panel lines DREADFUL decals (I cannot stress this enough) Cockpit isn't great Really bad radiators Bad exhausts Czech Master Resin (IX, Tr.IX & XVI) Images courtesy of Mark Davies http://www.hyperscale.com/2010/features/spitfiretr972md_1.htm Pros Fantastic detail and panel lines Great cockpit detail Great decals Very accurate Superb kit Full resin kit Cons Very expensive Full resin kit (this is both a pro and a con as a lot of people aren't familiar with full resin) Please feel free to correct me on any of the above Ben
