Must be nice gettin all these goodies Kevin, Im jealous...

U up at Orange Grove today???

 

[javlin]

Yea I was Dan.The P51 I got I am looking it over now and again these guys are out doing themselves against the other manufacturers.The kit has decent detail in the pit and again nice panel lines.Kevin

 

[lesofprimus]

Im gonna be gettin me a -51 I think in the not so distant future... Most likely for the D-Day Build, B/C 1/32nd kit....

What u recommend???

 

[javlin]

Dan I can only really think of two manufacturers and that is Hobbycraft and Trump for the B/C model

Yep, Kevin is right. I think the Hobbycarft kit is actually a re-boxed Trumpeter kit too, although perhaps without some of the detail parts; if it's available. I've only seen their P51A so far. The Revell kit isn't worth bothering with, unless you use the fusealge from the cockpit back, and cross kit the rest with, say, the Hasegawa P51D, modiied as required.

 

[javlin]

I think you are right about the rebox Terry but I think the parts are the same?I have the HC F4 Corsair and its the same as the Trump just 1/2 the price and I think that occurs because of Canada not China.The HC kits at SprueBrothers are on sale now for about $39 Dan as opposed to the Trump @$78.Kevin

I went and looked up some reviews Dan,Terry is right the trump kit has Twice the parts and ordance

A good kit can be made from either I am sure but if you are going after detail go the Trump and then fix the inaccuartices in the engine compartment.

 

[Airframes]

Dan, you'd have to go for the Trumpeter kit, as the Hobbycraft offerings are only for the P51A and Apache, both Allison engined, so a different shape in the nose, wing and underbelly scoop.
Unless, of course, Hobbycraft release 'their' version of the Trump P51B/C.

[lesofprimus]

As far as my records go, Carlos Cavagliano only had 1 victory Kevin...

 

[javlin]

Thx Rochie and Thxs Dan I might have to order in a G-14 from GMW.Cheers Kevin

 

[Wayne Little]

So you need to do an Ace? Ugo Drago was an ace... Er....G-6 Code 364-7 I think? just got to work so can't check till I get home....he usually flew aircraft numbered '7'.

He also flew a....G-10? Black 7 with the ANR.


...and I finally found the bit I had on Scheiss so will get that sorted for you....e-mail please.

 

[lesofprimus]

Drago was a great Italian Ace with around 20 kills to his credit... Lands him just about in the Top Ten...

And u gotta just love the name Drago...
