Ex-FAAWAFU Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 He's in a flipping high hover, that bloke. Bloody uncomfortable up there... Let's face it, no-one's going to give a toss about the box art provided the kit itself is good. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Still the wrong scheme for the era of ship. I guess having one from the home of the SHAR is ok, but I wish they'd give us an 8oo NAS cab post Falklands, preferably when based on Illustrious or Invincible. Am I right in thinking the ship would have no rear quarter CIWS and the forward Sea Dart Launcher for that era of aircraft? Let's face it, no-one's going to give a toss about the box art provided the kit itself is good.To true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shar2 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Julien, it would only have had the Seadart, no CIWS at all, Oh, and the original, smaller ramp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Let's face it, no-one's going to give a toss about the box art provided the kit itself is good. yeah, correct, but still nice they added the missing tailplanes! and changed the Sidewinder model to a L/M version that looks like one! and no IFR probe any longer ! they seem to care and put effort into the boxart, and that is nice!

Bill - Government austerity measures - we'll get the last one when back out of recession. Besides - if we had a perfect kit, what would we find to comment on?

Norman Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 A vortex generator short and rubbish bombs ! Well i guess the great thing about this forum is the range of opinions and 'experts' it has which can be a real help a lot of the time, however the 'glass half' full blokes always make me chuckle and i never do i take them seriously, otherwise i'd never build anything ! and they are entitled to think and say what they like, Me i am absolutley chuffed a new FRS1 is coming AND with deck tractors, its a joy to me, who would have thought it a few short years ago ? i dont know about anyone else but due to the avalanche of new releases my stash has grown to the stage where i need to look at doing some serious pruning to make way for new stock ! Thank You Kinetic , keep going, we need a Supermarine Swift, Scimitar and whilst your at it a Gannet family would be nice, Cheers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm not very familiar with the Shar. What are the vortex generators supposed to look like ? They're the small protrusions on the wings, like bumps on the sprue shots above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
