warhawk Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 (edited) Excellent news, been trying to get a hold on the 'profipack' box with photoetch for ages 😎 Edited December 14, 2018 by warhawk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denford Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Not surprising as they had the embarrasment of the box art showing a subject not on the decal sheet (or vice versa) ! This will surely be 'corrected'. At the same time it can only be hoped that: - They include a rear view mirror: shown on box art etc yet not included in the kit. - Supply replacement guns parallel to the ground and not the dihedral parallel. I don't know if anyone has yet built the kit but it has the oddest of instructions. The propeller is to be butt-joined to a 'shaft' from the crankcase! Now, not having built mine, maybe one could drill a hole in the propeller to receive the shaft, though there is no hint of this in the instructions. This would depend on any 'excess' length of the shaft. The propeller has just has a small circular indentation on both sides: just about OK for the pitch change part which has the blind end to the sprue but hardly so for the massive propeller!

rickpeck Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well, looks like a nice kit but 'Icky and Me' markings are make believe. So fair warning. http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showthread.php?t=13227&highlight=jack+payne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
