Seamus Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Morning all,Sneaking over the line just before new year are my final two completions, the Airfix Wildcat and Tamiya Corsair. Both in 1/72 and completely out of the box. Two very neat little kits.Thanks for looking, comments welcomedHappy new yearShaun 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Modeller Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) Very nice indeed Seamus, they are both cracking little builds - well done!! :coolio: The newly tooled Airfix Wildcat looks a stunning little kit in its' own right, but seeing it next to a Tamiya aircraft just emphasises how much Airfix have upped their game with their new toolings doesn't it? If I didn't know who produced either of the two kits it would be hard to tell which stable they were from, the Airfix Wildcat looking an equal to the Tamiya Corsair with regard to quality of moulding!! Bravo Airfix and Bravo Seamus - I'm going to add one of those Airfix Wildcats to my stash very soon!!

Cookenbacher Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Wonderful builds, both of them. Glad to hear that the Airfix Wildcat matches Tamiya Corsair in ease of build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Great pair, beautifully put together and finished, as said shows just how Airfix have upped their game to look as good as a tamiya. Anyway mind if I ask what brand you used for the m485 blue and m495 grey? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
