Kev1n Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) my oob offering - Tucano. This is actually a neat kit, and looks pretty good - I got two of these, one for the red n white c/s and one to do in the dynamic all black c/s - havent done that one yet so I'll start with this one btw does anybody know what happened to Premier Models? are they stil around, did they do any other kits etc etc...

Peter Marshall Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Another slightly different kit appearing - nice to see all of these appear in the GB. Should be nice watching all the gloss paint dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 I think I found them at the Cosford show. I'd seen a real one at an air display in the all black c/s and thought "wooo....I'm in love..." The next model show, I saw these so thought fate is delivering them unto me...and they were cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbuna Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 btw does anybody know what happened to Premier Models?are they stil around, did they do any other kits I think I read somewhere they invested heavily in the Shorts Tucano kit and only two were ever purchased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Oh yes, shall watch this with interest, I have one of these in the stash along with an Airfix one, will wait to see what it comes out like, looks to be quite nice on inspection. Very jealous of the price you paid, mine was 5 times that. All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Premiere also released a Sea Venom FAW21 which comes with white metal and a vacform canopy. I'm not sure but I think that the basic kit might be FROG! Did they also do a 1/48 BAe Hawk? As for the Tucano, is it the Airfix kit re-boxed?

Kev1n Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Very jealous of the price you paid, mine was 5 times that. Chris a pair at £2 each wasnt bad...hehehehe....like I said, fate.... As for the Tucano, is it the Airfix kit re-boxed? never had the airfix kit so I dont know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 As for the Tucano, is it the Airfix kit re-boxed? Looking at the sprue shots, no. I'm pretty sure the Airfix kit has the nose moulded into each fuselage half, rather than separate as on the Premier kit, although my Airfix one is in the loft at the mo, so I can't easily check!

Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 It's full of spiders and wasps. Tricky to hit with a lightsabre... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm that Obi-Jiff is indeed correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sAllGoneHorriblyWrong Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 £2! Fate indeed. Why not build the other one for the Under A Tenner GB - although you'll probably have to wait until 2013... Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 I might well do that actually - depends if I can wait that long..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 ok...so....a bit delayed but here I go... This isnt a bad little kit but there is a bit of excess to be removed; Since I havent ever built one of these before, the OOB is probably a good way to start, but I can't help feeling the cockpit is going to be very bare.... (the itch to add detail is very stroing right now but if I do that, it won't be an OOB....) btw - does anybody know what colour the seats should be ??? .

Peter Marshall Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Well we do allow for scratch building if you can't resist, just not buying detail sets............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev1n Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 oh, ok then havent got any dosh for detail sets anyway, but I'll think about adding a bit of extra scratch work to the cockpit when I see howmuch can be seen. ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbuna Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I've just realised it's in a different scale but that is probably a plus regarding detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
