Mentalguru Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Quite interesting point raised there- after the positively faced negativity of Jonners build, is it that we just can't be arsed to buy and build the Hobbyshite FIn? That is certainly the case for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armadillos Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Yep well spent the best part of 8 days up in them their hills waiting for them to come low level and typically from about 40 hrs i got 1 really grotty Hawk shot! Real shame as i`ve rather get the F3`s low level but with time running out it looks like a trip to Leuchars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troffa Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 With these 2011 re-issues of previously rarely seen kits (Italeri F3, the Airfix Seafire 46/47 (With a decent decal sheet this time?) and F2A/ F6 Lightning) there may be a spot of panic dumping of these kits on the usual internet auction sites. I Hope the F3 kit can be kept to a reasonable (£20 ish?) price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there clearing stock for need of space, over need for funds, ie this is what the old mob did just before going pop, but thankfully I don't think this is the case this time We will see, but my stash has room for at least two F3, PR9's and F6 Lightning. (i'm sure Airfix will repop the F1a next anyway ) We will see. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Seeing as Neil is not producing his Paragon range anymore,everyone might want to grab his Tornado goodies ASAP especially the fin correction. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 In fact both kits have to be corrected in some parts and as a modeller I say few parts. HB has fine engraved details around and Italeri is from another Age. Both kits are beneficiated by the AM resins/PE of today. I hope Aires releases the IDS/F cockpits soon. But kit by kit alone HB is much more complete than the Italeri one and will costs more. Good Luck. Tonka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
