Thanks Rochie.

instructions are all over the place, here, there and everywhere. its a real head ache to follow. you build a part and later you don't even need

It's looking smart Keith. I know what you mean about some of the Revell Instructions - on the 32nd scale Hunter, some of the numbers for the 200+ decals don't match up at all. I hand painted some of the cockpit and ejector seat placards etc, only to find decals for them much later! On another kit, if I hadn't test fitted, some of the parts would have been upside down if the instructions had been followed - still their quality is normally very good in relation to the price, so no complaints from me.

thanks Terry

i built the engines for it and later on ( in the destructions ) you dont need them ( if you don't want to use them )

So i am not useing them hangs head in shame

What the h**l it's only for the bairn to play with.

 

[Catch22]

Well at least you've got them, they can come in very handy later on.

That's true Cory. I've been saving an engine from the Tamiya 1/48th scale Lancaster for over 30 years, to eventually go into a Mosquito for a diorama - and now Revell do a Mosquito with engines! At least when I get this kit, I'll then have at least two spare engines!

 

[ellis995]

by the way this kit comes with extras

4 rockets and as i am not going to use the wheels and wheelbraces and guards ( so my neice do's not smash them off )
