Hopefully we can bring some (limited quantity) to Mosonshow this weekend, but officially it will be released in 1-2 weeks.

Here are the instruction sheet:

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.

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.

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.

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

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
