WV908 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 MW763 is coming back (airworthy) as PR533 in the scheme shown above - I know which boxing I'll be getting! Cheers, WV908 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seawinder Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Having just finished an Eduard Mk. V, I'm puzzled by the generous number of unused small parts, for example E70, which are not highlighted as unused, but which don't appear in any construction steps I can find for either series 1 or series 2. I'm wondering if these and other parts are Mk. II specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomas Enerdal Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 On 03/02/2020 at 19:55, Work In Progress said: They could, but I would not hold your breath as they have plenty of other priorities ahead of it where they won't be head-to-head with a good modern kit from a biggish player, as they will with the Sea Fury. If they do go for it. it is unlikely to happen in the next couple of years as they seem likely to first produce more urgently-needed things in 1/48, including Wildcats (where the Tamiya F4F-4 is okay but all the other versions are either obsolete or very wrong), and the P-36 family (which has not been done to modern standards in 1/48 - the last being the 1992 family from Hobbycraft which then went into Academy boxes but is no more up-to-date than the Hobbycraft Sea Fury or Hurricane or 109 family). I thought the Tamiya F4F-F is too rounded an barrel-like in the fuselage, whereas the Hobbyboss F4F-3 is OK in that respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABeck Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 I am just putting parts together. I strongly recommend to buy the LEPT photo etch fret for the Tempest V Weekend/Overtree kits (Eduard) as the SH offering omits some cockpit detail. The only PE parts are the straps. With € 40 (+) the SH boxing is (a bit) overprized. Perhaps waiting for an Eduard ProfiPACK will make sense. Q: I want to make MW 767 as BAFO a/c. This aircraft is documented in a photo behind a Me 262 B NF at Schleswig/Jagel . MW 767 has no lettering on the fuselage but the white ident-stripes on the tailplane. Is there any further information? Regards Andreas Beck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaw Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I have one on backorder from Hannants yet no sign of it so far. Yet the Aviation Megastore in Amsterdam has them. So why the delay in the UK?? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why the delay in the UK?? John There is a lot of delays these days, getting parcels through customs and such, mainly due to the BREXIT DEAL. I am also waiting patiently (impatiently) for one or two but they will be here soon I am sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaw Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Hannants told me two weeks ago that it was expected in 1/2 weeks.. But still no sign of it after 2 weeks - so where is it? Stuck on a container ship awaiting entrance to Felixstowe awaiting Customs clearance?? It might be quicker to order one direct from the Aviation Megastore!

jaw Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Even if I wanted to get one from the Aviation Megastore I see that they are out of stock. But there is one on ebay at £40 plus postage from Italy. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
