Melbourne Model Expo (2011)

[Wildcat]

Excellent!

 

[Airframes]

Sure is !

 

[rochie]

i like it, might be another future purchase i think !!!!!

 

[Crimea_River]

Very nice. OOB with extended LE slats? Not many kits provide these as separate parts.

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Wayne Little]

Second Place, B-26 Marauder

 

[rochie]

looks nicely put together, but for some reason i dont like all that weathering, i know the real Flack Bait was very battered looking so maybe its just me !

 

[Airframes]

I agree. The B26 was known for losing paint, with many looking very worn. But although the model looks very good, there's something just a little too even about the flaked paint.

 

[Crimea_River]

I was thinking the same. It looks somewhat contrived although it's a very nice model otherwise.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

Agree it is slightly OTT on the paint stripping.

 

[Wayne Little]

and Third place a Mk.Vc Spitfire...

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[Airframes]

Not too bad.

 

[Crimea_River]

Meh.

 

[Matt308]

Meh?

Came out nicely... Is it 1/72 Airfix kit? Got two of those in my stash...

 

[Crimea_River]

Meh?

Meh = so-so, all right I guess, no big deal, etc...

 

[Matt308]

I got it. Just seemed to hit my funny button. No worries! Reminded me of an old Jewish lady.
