I was wondering about those trim tabs myself. It is a rather good looking machine.

Wayne Little · Dec 14, 2011

reckon those tabs are decals.....looks pretty good though.

Next up, Airfix Mk XII Spit, same one that was entered at the Western Canadian Regional.

Lovely crisp manufacturing new!

Airframes · Dec 22, 2011

Nicely done model.
Criticisms? There were only two Squadrons equipped with the MkXII, for a relatively short period of time, so the weathering looks a little heavy, especially the panel lines (the aircraft were waxed and polished for extra 'Oomph').
Also, the only time any Mark of Spit had flaps lowered (apart from servicing needs) was on landing.
Still pretty good though.

I will say the Brits, made some beautiful aircraft and cars.

Been awhile since I have been on this thread. Missed some serious material. Thank you for posting Andy!

Crimea_River · Dec 22, 2011

You're welocme Aaron. A few more left and this thread's done.

Terry, I agree with your comments.

Vic Balshaw · Dec 23, 2011

I bow to your knowledge Terry but a nice looking model all the same.

Visually, the only knock I have against that new Airfix kit is that the panel lines are far too prominent. If they took a lesson from Eduard on how to do surface detail, this would be a superb kit.

Next up, 1/48 Accurate Miniatures IL-2

Airframes · Dec 23, 2011

Rather nice overall -slight reservations about some of the panel lines, although the general weathering is well done.

Matt308 · Dec 23, 2011

That does look cool.

Aaron Brooks Wolters · Dec 23, 2011

I'm still learning but that looks great to me.

vikingBerserker · Dec 23, 2011

Beautiful

Vic Balshaw · Dec 26, 2011

Very good weathering but 'Oh' those panel lines.

Wayne Little · Dec 26, 2011

like that a lot, tonng down of those panel lines a real thin light overspray and Bob's your uncle!

Gnomey · Dec 26, 2011

Good one!

Catch22 · Dec 26, 2011

Some great looking models in here! Shouldn't have shown my dad the Akagi, now he's wanting one! But at $300 that cooled him off of it. Loved that CF-18, would love to do one in 1/32 some day. And as for the Lysander, the V looks like it's got the remains of a P under it to me.

Matt308 · Dec 26, 2011

Wow. $300 for the Akagi. If I payed $300 for any model all I would do is lament all of my mistakes everytime I looked at it. I made my coffee table and two 7ft bookcases. I still do it to this day... "crap why did I do that this way!?"
