Best 1/48 F-16 kit?

[109ROAMING]

Very cool -never been into those records before

Interesting so your saying that its an RNZAF Corsair in a -1A scheme? Didn't know we had -1A's ,only -1D's and FG-1D's -although I've also seen a wartime RNZAF F4U-4 photo

EDIT: Yes please for the PDF!

 

[Catch22]

Yes, you had -1As. The example you posted is a -1A as well. According to Wiki you guys got 237 of them.

I've never seen the -4!

I was trying to upload the PDF but it's not working.

 

[109ROAMING]

Well bugger me! I did not know that -I'd read that before but assumed the -1's to be something else

Don't worry too much if you can't upload the PDF -Would you mind just telling me what I need to do while I build it? or is there anyone else out there who can send me the tamiya F4U-1D instructions? would be much appreciated

Thanks again mate for your help/info

Here, got them. But if you're building NZ 5277, that's a -1A, and you won't need the -1D plans.

 

[109ROAMING]

Ohhhhh Sorry mate I'm with it now

Is it just me or is the pre shading a littleover done on that NZ5277 model?

 

[Catch22]

It's way overdone to me.

 

[109ROAMING]

I agree!

Currently trying to get the Tamiya F4U-1A with the motorized prop included

 

[Catch22]

Sounds good!

 

[109ROAMING]

Hmmmm seems a bugger to find

A couple months back there was a motorized F4U-1A on trademe with RNZAF decals for $50 which if I had the opportunity I would snap it up quick!

Found one in the US for $19.88 -which works out at about $33 NZD (really cheap) I'd buy it if postage wasn't $16USD ( almost the cost of the kit so no thank you)

I think Il buy this tamiya kit for $38NZD Which works out at $26 Canadian ,is that okay?

Corey how much would you expect to pay?

 

[Catch22]

I have paid $29.99 CDN for all four of mine, so you're saving a few bucks!

 

[109ROAMING]

Sweet! just brought it for 38

 

[Catch22]

Nice, you'll love it!

 

[109ROAMING]

Cool! That scheme on the box is pretty nice isn't it?

Hopefully make a start in about a week

 

[Catch22]

Yup, and it's what you'll be aiming for as well.

 

[109ROAMING]

Yup! Just gotta find a motor for it now -add abit of realism

Gonna buy the decals tomorrow
