Click to expand...

I will get around to it...

Some nice (interesting) stuff people are picking up!
 
That's a nice stash there degs. Is the Swift vac-form? I could do with one for my 56 Sqn build, but I don't fancy the hassle of a vac-form kit, and can't find an injection moulded one.
 

G'day to Khobar, nice stash your building up there Degs all great aircraft, is the Swift a vacform and are you by chance thinking of doing the Lightning in RSAF livery. I spent 2 years at Dh with BAe in the mid 70s.

 
Arrived today - to kick off my series of 1/48 fighters

Looks an oldie but its actually real nice - crisp recessed detail - took some pics

Looks alot easier to build than tamiya kits from which I have bad memorys

Its gonna need a new canopy though - didn't come with USN or FAA decals but RNZAF ones were there

Also came with a stand , is this really an airfix moulding?

Cheers mate! Yup will be an NZ machine

Will be a while til I do it though , the decals I've used with my prior RNZAF birds were Ventura and the colours are quite light , with these decals they're darker so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference along with a heavy faded finish

Highly recommended kit
 
Great idea Dirk...I use a Leica at work (for PCB component soldering).

If you can, get one with the black weighted base with microscope head mounted on adjustable horizontal and vertical poles - it will give you much more desk space to work in than the version in your photo.
 
Nice kit Daniel, and so is theeir P51. I built both back in about 1985. And yes, I reckon the old Airfix stand found its way into the box somehow! BTW, that's an earlier stand, from the '60's, they changed to a 'v' shape in the mid 1970's. I'm full of useless b*ll*cks you know!!
 
No no ,old buy .Thats actually interesting - clears abit up! cheers mate!

I shall wait a long time to building it , good thing was it was cheap hence I ask about their P-51
 
Haven't seen one of those airfix stands since i was kid! Looks like a nice corsair Dan 8)

Look what i got today....



Its HUGE!!
