Procopius Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I note the CAD shows the shorter intakes, but both kitted options have the longer airscoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Very nice. But I did the SEAC one some years ago on my refurb and updated with Aeroclub bits FROG kit which I no longer have. BUT I do have the Aviaeology sets waiting for this kit.....However I can only view a few of the schemes on the Airfix site, the ones that don't work for me are the Shackleton and Whitley. The drop down menu button works but nothing happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 However I can only view a few of the schemes on the Airfix site, the ones that don't work for me are the Shackleton and Whitley. The drop down menu button works but nothing happens? Paul, this normal happens to me if I view these on a device like an iPad, however it all works wonderfully well on the home desktop PC. Cheers ..

Paul J Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Its my home laptop that gives me grief sometimes. It labors a bit at times. Maybe far too many photos svae don it and time for me to shift them on to an external device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Are those longer Carburetor intakes on those Bristols? Looks like it, and If I recall matches the proposed decal schemes as well. Any sign of a Mk. XXI Auto pilot lump? Cheers .. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wooksta V2.0 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 From the photos of the test shots & sprues at Nuremberg, it looks to be a superb kit. Lots of optional bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I like the look of the way they've done the tail planes, no chance of getting the dihedral or otherwise wrong, unless of course you used the wrong one. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I assume they decided that doing them as literally one big thick solid piece would have risked sinkage. So they have gone as far down the one-piece route as they dare, and then left the minimum possible, "no way to mess it up" inserts for the builder to drop in.
