Model kits

[the lancaster kicks ass]

me and CC were gonna do that once, only problem iss all of my models have been made with the undercarrage down, and they'd look pretty weird flying round like that.......................

 

[MichaelHenley]

My B-17 Has its undercarriage down, and I positioned the camera so that it wansn't showing in the shots where it could have been, and otherwise you can just edit them out digitally...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

thing is we were gonna make it look really bad and cheap on perpose, so like you could see the strings and all that......................

 

[JCS]

why do i feel left out becuase i haven't set fire to any of my models??

What ever you do, don't start, Its like potato chips; you cant have just one

I need a bit of help. My birthday is in 3 months and I have finished painting and decaling all my models (Except the P-40 for which I have lost the instructions.) I need an Idea for a model to request from my parents. I have only got 1 british, (But I'm going to do the P-40 as Brit though, so I guess that makes 2). I am thinking of getting another RAF or mabe a Japanese fighter... Any Suggestions on what I should ask for?

 

[JCS]

or mabe a Japanese fighter

Definately! ask for a Ki-27, Ki-44 or a Ki-84 8)

 

[MichaelHenley]

get a grand slam lancaster, they're amazing.................

 

[MichaelHenley]

Nothing too big... I am very short on space!

 

[MichaelHenley]

Should I get a Spit?

 

[Maestro]

Should I get a Spit?

It would be a good idea...

However, I don't suggest you to get a 1:72 model. I made only one of them (a P-51D) and I found it tough to build up. Get a 1:48... It is not as big as a 1:32, but it is big enough to see details. (A 1:48 Spitfire will be approx. 8 inches long.)

 

[toffi]

The best thing in kits is that you have to make most of the details on your own. For me 1:48 is too easy, but making a full-detail equipped 1:72 Spit gives huge satisfaction.

 

[JCS]

I tried building a 1/72 once.....too damn small, I like my models BIG.

 

[Sagaris]

I have a modelling interest and im thinking of starting a WW2 collection. Does anyone have any ideas as to a good one to start off with?

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

start with fighters then move onto bombers...............

 

[Sagaris]

Ok, thanks.

 

[Lt.Red]

Start with a simpel fighter, after that proceed to bombers, im into modelkits to, scale 1/48 i got 16 models

 

[Sagaris]

Yes I use 1/48th scale too. I have around 20 models but theyre mainly Modern Era planes. I have nearer 40 models if you include the non-avation models.
