Voja Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 I bought it today at Mosonshow in Hungary. Very nice little model. I recommend it to all 1/72 fans. I payed 40 Euros for it and it is worth all money. Tomorrow I would buy another one, in red painting scheme. Here are some photos of what is in the box. Sorry, photos are of poor quality. They are from my hotel room. . 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Looks like a brilliant kit! I must get one when it's available in the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewfl290 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have the Airfix rendition of Black Magic that is built and a new Grosvenor House to build together with the Aerotech 1/32 one to do but this looks a lovely little kit that I'm going to find hard to resist. The detail looks amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Ranger Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I just today received my kit (the 'Red & Green' edition) and I am just completely blown away by its quality. This is quite possibly the finest model airplane kit I have ever seen in about 60 years of building and collecting models. There simply aren't enough superlatives in my vocabulary (or possibly enough modeling skills at my disposal!) to do it justice.The castings have to be seen to be believed.

rmcclure Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Fantastic - I love that RAF scheme. Am I right in thinking that would be a silver lacquer finish rather than NMF? Also, my plan would be to pose the finished model in-flight so can anyone comment on whether the kit can be built wheels up? All of the pictures so far show the undercarriage down. Cheers all, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclure Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 What a tool. Two minutes googling and I answered some of my own questions! Grosvenor House became K-5084 and was painted silver. It doesn't seem to have been a long stay with the RAF. Cheers, Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Nezumi Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Fantastic - I love that RAF scheme. Am I right in thinking that would be a silver lacquer finish rather than NMF? It would be silver lacquer or aluminium dope as the Comet was of all-wood construction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
