Mods - I've also posted this in the products section, but thought it might be missed there. If you want to delete this thread, that's fine..... Must admit it's got me a wee bit (over)excited ! - click on 'Item page' and you'll get about twenty microscopic thumbnails that make a slide-show of all the sprues, instructions and decals.

The good - its a 1/32 IM Lightning!

The bad - price, rivets, horrible tail, no IFR probe, price and price of AM needed.


I'm still getting an F6 mind

Did the F1 & 3's have IFR ?? - genuine question, I just dont know. What's wrong with the tail ?? - Not an expert but it looks OK from the pics.

Yes the price is prohibitive - even if I had somewhere to put it, I would have to NOT buy anything else in 2009 !

F1 had no IFR, probe was added with the F1A I believe

The tail is the same sunken effect round the jetpipes as on the 1/72 version.

Yup to big for me and that price shows just how much the pound has suffered in recent months - 6 months ago would have been 20% cheaper at least

More than good enough for a Whif!  just wish the price wasn't so prohibitive.
