Dave Swindell Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 6 hours ago, Kevin Callahan said: That is supposed to be ex-Magna, possibly with all that entails. However, not sure if Combat is used to cleaning up and improving molds as part of their reissue. Anyone with more experience with Combat know for sure? Hi Kevin I haven't seen the Magna version of this, but I have the Combat kit and I've a few other Magna kits. It looks to me like it's based on Magna masters, but with much improved casting of the resin and white metal, no sign of air bubbles or flash, looks like quality pressure moulding. Canopy is clear cast resin, decals are Fantasy Printshop, serials, codes and roundels for the two schemes illustrated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris57 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) Dave Little of Combat Models purchased the masters off of Martin( Magna Models) about two years back. He released the two 1/48th Firebrands and the 1/72 Twin Pin at last years Nats. Only limited numbers. Colin of Freighdog liaises with David, they share table at the Nats. If Fantasy are doing the decals that will be an improvement over the previous efforts which I believed were done by AIMS, although the Single Pin decals were never a problem and I do like the Malaysian option(Original Magna issue).

The only major problem I've had with Magna kits have been the vacform canopies which have been pigs to get to fit correctly. My poor Albacore has been in a state of semi-built stasis for ages because of this, Otherwise it's quite a nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tomohawk Kid Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It would nice to see some civilian liveries too. As it was more widely operated than most give it credit for, particularly in SE Asia. Tommo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
