That's what I tell myself anyway 🙂 Lovely looking aircraft too Ian Hope so Ian. I've never built a P-38. I had a 1/48 Tamiya one before I decided I wanted to settle on a constant scale, so I sold that one. It's going in the stash for a wee while, but having looked at the sprues I'm really looking forward to it. Gavin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valhalla Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Ah that brings back memories, Those old ships are such classics. I have the Golden Hind original bagged version stashed away in an old video box for protection somewhere. If memory serves, that was a waterline model.

Ratch Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Many of the small ships were originally waterline, later retooled to full hull. I had a waterline Victory. Wish I could find another 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glance at the plastic certainly looks like nice moulding. 5 sprues, 1 of which is clear, and 4 colour schemes and decals. They do build into very nice models. The only add on I used was the quickboost engine cowlings to correct the shape of the kit cowlings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The small versions are actually about 1/300, at 1/72 they are huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A J Rimmer Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) From my local model shop's 2nd hand pile - still sealed. A couple of old, but not bad looking kits. I built the F-3 years ago, but made a complete hash of it and have since binned it - looking forward to having another go. As for the F-4G, I've wanted one for ages to go with my Late Cold War USAF collection, and I've never built an F-4. Not looking forward to the white plastic however! Cheers!
