Gisbod Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Hello all, Haven't posted for ages, but thought some people may like to see the new Kitty Hawk Banshee. It's a funny kit - great in places, frustrating in others. The wing fold mounting is a 'mare and very hard to get both wings sitting symmetrically (I failed). Will feature in an upcoming Scale Aviation Modeller in the not too distant future. Thanks for looking Guy %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/7C5E7459-BB0F-4F53-B394-9EDEC3073F90.jpg%5B/IMG%5D %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/3498E1C7-3376-478C-9AA0-241A5C469424.jpg%5B/IMG%5D %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/D7FBEF98-0C8E-45B7-8D8B-DC5B5EEC4C4C.jpg%5B/IMG%5D %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/504182DF-F7E8-4FCB-8E3C-E84C668A6130.jpg%5B/IMG%5D %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/2E30E969-9610-4766-A635-33055332044A.jpg%5B/IMG%5D %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/918A9E0F-25B2-4AAB-8D5C-B648B25A3E59.jpg%5B/IMG%5D %5BIMG%5Dhttp://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac29/Gisbod/Banshee/ADDBC954-1331-4813-AE79-5A2AB3B2F8A3.jpg%5B/IMG%5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks chaps, Polo, yes... quite a lot of niggling mistakes in the numbering of the parts and a couple of minor issues in the moulding - but nothing to stop it being a nice build - just frustrating. It'll be all listed in the article. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Rick Thank you for the comments, Rick, Yep, 4 schemes offered - I did look for an aftermarket decal sheet but couldn't find one for a 1/48th Banshee. The decals in the kit looked a bit suspect, but they performed very well in the end. Guy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
