Tornadofairy Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 And the bonus of possibly the worst painting ever of the Isle of Wight on the box art of G-AVCN.... My house would be under water! But great to see 1:48th Islander, love to see a Trislander too -that will be in the markings of the one I was on, that took 3 days to get from Southampton to Alderney.... To be fair the first 2 days were: fly to Alderney.... I'ts fogbound.... fly back to Southampton... The beginning of some of the best few months I had teaching.

goon Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Yes, would love to see some shots of the kit if you have time. I take it there’s no diffference in the plastic between the different boxes? I’ll be building as the FIGAS aircraft so I’m interested in the plastic only. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Looks great I will have to get one.BUT...... that underwing registration for 'VCN is so definitely wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure of it. Far too big and of a size that was used a lot in the 1930s and hardly at all in the 60's onwards. Where did they get the info of such a big underwing reg??. The underwing reg should only be under the port wing orientated to read from the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the sprue shots, just ordered mine. Are Valom releasing a Trislander kit? I'm just wondering what the triangular extensions on the fuselage frame are for? If you look at the wingtip extensions on the fuselage frame they are of a similar shape to the fin above the centre engine on a Trislander. Jeff.

pinky coffeeboat Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Yeah that's what I initially thought. They look like these things fitted here Islander big wing tips Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I'll have a couple of these! And a Tri? Yes, PLEASE. It will save me the trouble of doing the conversion (and I've got a couple of nice schemes to give them if they want ...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Logan air version and Israeli version was also available so all three kits are available!! As i am building one at the moment i must say that it is a pretty simple but well detailed kit on the outside! Cockpit detail is good enough, cabin seats are sparse in detail.. These seats can be different per operator, there is only one variation on those The clear parts are very crisp and clear.. And i am building one but i am not doing a build review guys due to the lack of time! Cheers and have fun with this one as i will, Jan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k5054nz Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Well that looks gorgeous. Not a fan of the two-part wheels, but that's ok. FIGAS for me too, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
