Roo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I was just about to put my order in for one until I saw this thread. I can't believe how silly I was and I thank you for pointing out the obvious shape issues and other flaws in this supposedly magnificent kit.

Potato Pete Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I seem to recall someone else drawing stuff ontop of photos to "prove" perceptions of inaccuracy. Is Jonners really Gaston Marty in disguise? Inquiring minds want to know! Well have you ever seen them in the same room? Just askin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Pointy nose - yes on both Yeah, but I think the kit's spinner is a trifle short, as your profile comparison suggests. Nothing Jonners can't fix, and as suggested, I'm sure there'll be a resin replacement out soon. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brown Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 AH! Spotted another obvious mistake too! Shouldn't it be spelt "Tempest" not "Typhoon"? Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Oh - it's a plane then? I was hoping for a 1/24 Typhoon Class submarine! (now that really would be something! ) Cheers Hans J You could probably convert that to a car ferry! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Oh Jonners - really what a fuss about nothing - this is nothing that a man with a hairy chest brought up on a diet of Alan Hall, FROG models with no cockpits or wheel wells, tube glue - lots of - balsa and doped talc cant fix in a jiffy.......Come now a man with your dexterity and prowess can run a few of these mild conversions off in an evening between tea and Corrie surely Right oh - off to do my Airfix Defiant now, 5 mins, lots of glue and splash of black paint should have it done before cocoa and biscuits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Well, yes, you really have to give me the chance to hack up Trumpeter, Classic Airframes, and even Alley Cat Vamps (with guest appearance by CA Venom?) before giving them the green light for the Vamp we've all been waiting for (uh oh, heart palpitations...) Or just tell them to do the fat family-model ones first. bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter96 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I can't see any accuracy issues with this kit whatsoever..... people on the site really need to work out what's important in life!

Shar2 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Good job you're not a MOD then as this is the sort of thread we need to counter some of the serious threads that pop up with increasing regularity, not that they are bad per se, just we need to keep our sense of humour and not lose sight that this is a FUN hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
