next subject Mitsubishi J8M1 Shusei the Japanese version of the Me163

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

Neat. Being Japanese, it comes with all mod cons,including electric canopy, CD player and aircon, is reliable, and only needs servicing every twelve months......

Unfortunately the throttle sticks causing uncontrollable acceleration .......

I just put that same model of the J8M1 into storage for the second time in my life. Made that one 30yrs ago.

 

[Wayne Little]

Some will love this one.....me, I think there is something just not quite right with this bird....

 

[Shinpachi]

Your working field is very wide, Wayne.
Excellent!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one Wayne. Panel lines look perhaps a little heavy but always had a soft spot for the BAC Lightning.

 

[Crimea_River]

Not bad at all. Not familiar with the markings unless the blue on the RAF roundels faded badly.

 

[Matt308]

Yeah never have seen one in that color, but well executed. But I see an Airfix Buccaneer in the background. Me wanna see that!

It's in the late 'Air Defence Grey' scheme, the last one employed on the Lighthing before it retired. The roundels are the low visibility style, in pale blue and pink (hellow sailor!), and personally, I think the Lightning looked 'downgraded' when it went to green/grey camouflage, but this colour scheme looked cr*p !! The panel lines are definitely far too heavy - they showed in bare metal due to different metals, but only the upper access panels on the spine should really show in this scheme.

 

[Crimea_River]

Learned something new! Thanks for the info on the roundels Terry. Pink and baby blue - sheesh!

 

[Wayne Little]

Buccaneer for Matt!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Matt308]

Oh baby, I would have slept with her in highschool! Nicely done, but a little raw. But nicely done.

 

[Wayne Little]

Ok that was a short one....moving on to the next category WWII and Cold War Jets Medium Scale.

First place my Me262A-1a

 

[Gnomey]

Excellent as usual Wayne!

 

[Catch22]

Very nice Wayne!

 

[Crimea_River]

I remember that one! Never tired of seeing a masterpiece again.
