spoondog13 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Sorry to disapoint but that's not Lord Casey's aircraft, it's a mark one painted to look like a mark 4.It did not serve in the RAAF. Pretty cool though.I'm thinking of using the Dora Wings kit to model it in that "museum" scheme. cheers Rodney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Callahan Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 The 1:72 civil Vega Gull has not yet appeared at the big H. Wonder what the delay is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit odd, Purchsed mine from Tiger Hobbies, they had a delivery of the Civil Vega about two weeks ago. Cheers, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not explain it. From the moment the model came out, H. made two orders, but never ordered a civilian Vega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With something the size of H's operation, that is going to happen on occasion. Have you shipped any to US retailers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

occa Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 You can't use the same red for everything, British war time roundel red is different for example. A mistake that is repeated on by most decal makers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mistake that is repeated on by most decal makers In decals, the correct colors will be used when printing, using the Panton color palette.

Caerbannog Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 If these are standard roundels (and not some field applied special alterations), the proportions of the brit. roundels seem to be wrong: #5 the red dot is too small #6 the red dot is too large... Fin flashes #7 and 8 seem OK to me. #9 and 10 I do not dare to judge :-) Also the star'n'bars seem to be wrong with the bar beeing too wide - compared to what prportions were defined at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
