That would make a different joint stiff.

I don't bl**dy believe it!
Italeri have just released a new tool, 1/48th scale Wessex HU5 in 1/48th scale! Not quite the same as the HAR 2, but only in minor details, and would have been a lot easier to do, and a lot cheaper overall (cost of additional materials for moulding, exhausts etc adds around 35% to kit cost).
B*ll*cks !!!

 

[Matt308]

Well that sucks. But your effort will be much more impressive knowing the background!!

 

[Crimea_River]

Ain't that just typical!?

 

[Airframes]

Yep! And thanks Matt. I'd still have to do some mods and scratch-building, even with the new Italeri kit, and I suppose the satisfaction of converting the 'old' Revell kit will be worth it - if it works!

 

[Wayne Little]

Usually you abandon all hope of a NEW and particular kit happening, then get a current OLD project finished AND THEN something better comes along...

 

[Airframes]

Yep, but this is The Law of Sod, Section XII, para iii - "A new, better kit will be released, just as you have reached the stage, with an old kit, where it is too late to change anything, and at a stage where it is now impossible to build as the instructions intended, and must therefore proceed until completed. In these instances, one is truly f***** !"

Well put........... my sentiments exactly!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sods law or no Terry, just think of all the fun you're having!!!!!

 

[Airframes]

That's true - I'm really enjoying this build - or would be, if the wanted materials would hurry up and arrive!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thats it!
