Julien Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I'm pretty sure they will sell anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet Airfix would have preferred to have had the kit there with the traders too. Sadly, once loaded and at sea it's in the lap of the Gods. Similar to the TSR2 initial release, at least this one will be available for Christmas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, but this isn't a wishlist thread, it's for the "existing" Blenheim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithjs Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Enjoying building mine at the moment but can anyone explain why the word DONLOR is written on the tyres and not DUNLOP? I assume it's an 'in joke' from Airfix? A bit like the morse code on the inside of the Wellington wings....Just curious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's nice an easy to scrape of the small part of the R to read Dunlop. A lot better than what Eduard ( I think it was them ) did and put Dunlup on their tyres which is hard to correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Ah, right, interesting So how does Barracuda get away with putting it on his then?

I guess Roy either pays for it ( or has some sort of deal ) or Dunlop haven't noticed yet... Dunlop might not even care, but some companies like Airfix may be just covering themselves from problems in the future if a company wants to start trying to get money out of them ( or insist that all the kits have their name removed ).

Barracudacals is a really small fry, they make specialist parts in small runs, not obscure on a highly specialised modelling site, but in the wider world, unknown. Airfix are a household name, and it might get noticed. I'd have thought that it was free advertising myself, but there some very stupid and greedy beancounters out there..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 OK, thanks for input. And, as Tbolt said easy enough to tweak the lettering. Took me all of about 2 minutes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always do a what if - scratch build an arrestor hook, scribe a wing fold, paint it in navy colours and some spurious FAA decals- jobs a good 'un!!!!👍 Edited November 19, 2018 by Radpoe Spitfire 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
