hendie Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Maybe we could point the guy in the right direction before it's too late. I know a BM'er has pointed out his bloops with the decals and version being incorrect. The Fly guy was most appreciative. Colin I tried emailing him a while back but got no response whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendie Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Very much looking forwRd to this kit. Terry So am I but I am a bit confused as to the difference in quality/accuracy of some parts. The tail wheel assembly looks a bit weird - certainly way better than italeri's half-assed attempt, and ripe for scratching better When they have reproduced other parts with seemingly great accuracy, it makes you wonder how they got some of their data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yolk however is in three parts on another sprue shot, looks OK. Colin Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Ooooh, nice however I have to take issue with the typface for the DANGER, AIR INTAKE and NO PUSH decals, They should be the same tuypeface as the ROYAL NAVY. Only a small gripe but hey, it's worth mentioning. Colin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Homebee, Just looked at this and even going through Fly directs it's not much of a saving, just down to VAT and delivery. Still doesn't detract from a eagerly awaited kit.

heloman1 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Ouch! That's almost R1200.00, plus P&P might have to forgo this one even if it is a Wessex HU5... Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hendie Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I just checked out the website and after looking at the latest photo's - I have to say that I will be ordering one in the next week or so. There's still a few bits and pieces I have issues with - but after dealing with italeri's botched attempt - this should be a pleasure to work with.

tigger Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Just my luck I ordered two as soon as I could from the web site as I had checked and saw that fly were not attending the e day show in Prague this weekend. When I wandered around the show on Saturday morning I happened to come across fly models with you guessed it the Wessex kits for sale. Admittedly they were without instructions but I can say from fondling the plastic they look great and I was also told that the instructions will arrive approx October 16th so they will be honouring the orders after that. Regards A very exhausted but happy with what I bought at great prices John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simmo.b Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Pre-ordered the HU5 from Hannants, I see that the tail folds, does anyone know if there is provision to fold the main rotor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
