hgbn Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Let us see about that.. My plan is to build most from my stash as I can. The two new Invaders plus a couple from my Airfix ditto's, Both B-29's, the US Nightfigthers F4U-5NL, F7F-3N, F3D-2 and F-94B, the Yak-18 and PO-2 bedcheck charlies, the latter two is still yet to be located finding a way to my stash. and a Mig-15 nightfighter. Those will definety be entered in this GB. IF I have time to spare I might start more kits. But let us see when time comes. I feel really motivated right now, just hopes it will last through Less than a tenner GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I'm still debating with my self how to do the F7F-3N, either see if I can convert the Monogram Tigercat I already got in my stash, or If I can find a Octopus 1/72 F7F-3N somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeVi Tophatter Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Hello, This seems to be an interesting GB, not done one before. Ever. I'm thinking about purchasing this kit: The box art is really tempting me with the rescue attempt, plus it's a world away form what I usually build... For those who know better, is this kit worth the £25 (inc. P&P) asking price? - Edit, found the Revell re-release for £17 total on Eb*y... Only wish it had the same box-art .

hgbn Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Total bummer. God I'm disappointed. Finally got my package from where I ordered the Revell B-26B after over a month of waiting... Eagerly I open the packet to see my Korea bird........ And what do I see? A Italeri 6 gun nose WWII A-26B.....I only ordered the Revell because it was listed as in stock... If I had known that, I would bought one at Ebay...The least the shop could have done was sending me a email and asked if it was okay to send this instead of the other one. Some people . I know I can return it for a refund... But that is not the point. Rant off............ I wouldn't have been this disappointed if this kit had decals for a Korean war 6 gun nose.. Sorry guys I had to blow some steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgbn Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Nope not what I have seen.. But the market for AM decals is rather large so I can have missed it.. Only seen for the 1/48 Invader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hgbn Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Been digging in my references. I have found some no nose art six gun nose. I might be able to do some decal swapping so it can be a Korean bird after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procopius Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Currently I have kits and decals for a SAAF F-86, SAAF and RAAF F-51s, VVS MiG-15, RN Firefly FR.5, and RN Seafire 47. I think I've overreached. Mind you, I'm so disappointed with the late-mark Special Hobby Seafire/Spitfire kits that I might try kitbashing it with the Airfix Spitfire 22, if I can figure out how to do the enlarged bulges on the wings.

Procopius Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The wingtips are the wrong shape, quite noticeably so, and the nose is too short. For the high-back versions, the sliding hood is far too big as well. I'm not really very observant, so the fact that I noticed this stuff...not a good sign, Special Hobby.
