It would be interesting to see a comparison between the Heller (I believe it is actually the Airfix kit) the Hobbyboss and the Italeri kits. Anyone got these kits and willing to do a comparison? Cheers, Bill Indeed it is the Airfix kit from back when Heller used to own them, as for the colours, a mix but I checked them all before using them, dark blue is AK Interactive RAF PRU blue that proved too dark for that but perfect as you say for Aggressor Blue. Medium blue is the appropriate Xtracrylix Intermediate Blue, light blue is AK RLM65 1941 and the pale blue is humbrol 23. Anyway aside from a couple of touchs up underneaths its decal ready. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 That's a nice mix of colours there Stu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shalako Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I have built the Airfix kit. It is a decent one and for anyone wishing to start with our hobby it is a good beginner's kit. Looking forward to seeing this beauty finished!!! Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Finally on, though got to run of a set of usaf lettering as the underside ones broke, easy enough to print 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) See you in the gallery wednesday.

PhantomBigStu Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Actually finished a day earlier than promised, did the varnishing on the stand and quite early this morning and as I’m going to move my bench and have a clean tommorow and the varnish was dry I did the final touches tonight so it’s in the gallery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 And very nice she looks to Stu, a great result on a very attractive colour scheme.
