Blanketyblank Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Hi all, I always wanted an Intruder on shelf after the seeing the film "Flight of the Intruder" and then more recently reading the book. The Tamiya kit is from 1969 but has markings that are close enough to the film to make "Devilfish 508". Size comparison with a 1/72 Spitfire Ps I had to buy a second kit as I messed up a couple of decals (A new kit is only a fiver with postage). The first person to PM me with their address can have it free of charge. All that will really be missing are the stars and bars for the underside and topside of the wings. Thanks Alan 33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus389 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Both look outstanding. I like the Spitfire more to be honest 😉👍 The transparent stand is a good idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VolkerR. Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I have never seen 1/100 model. Cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanketyblank Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Thanks for the kind replies. Yeah, I don't know why Tamiya experimented with this scale but then gave up. All I know is that while it says Tamiya on the box, the fit was awful and detail was non-existent. However I am very pleased at how it came out so I can't complain. To be honest even though I tried throughout the build to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, I always managed to turn it around and make an improvement. This build really had a charmed life and I literally felt I couldn't go wrong. It's a dead cert that my next build is heading for the bin at the first stage. I think I used up all my luck with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Very nice work in such a small scale. I had the 1/100 B-52F kit but then foolishly let it go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanketyblank Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 The 1/100 B-52 was a real classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallBlondJohn Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Proper job. I've done the 1/100 Me262/Me163 combo kit, its not bad at all. Only issue was it just too small for airbrushing the fine camo, though an expert could probably do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
