New 72nd P-47N on the block. Doesn't look too bad at all.

Presumably it'll appear as an Xtrakit in about a week........

NARSES2 · May 28, 2011, 02:51:13 AM

Picked the P-47N up the other day. Looks quite nice

Maverick · May 31, 2011, 06:24:15 PM

Another one by Sword and by all accounts quite nice.

And so it ought to be at $33.00!!!

Another for Sword which seems flawed judging by the review.

It looks like Scott's only complaint is that the cockpit isn't in resin.

I actually thought he inferred that it would be difficult to build a P-80A from the kit, but upon re-reading it, perhaps he's suggesting such a build prior to this kits release.

The Seafire LIIc is a beauty, really crisp tooling and the spare fuselage is most welcome.

Yeah, backdating the P-80C's out there to a P-80A isn't impossible, it's just a PITA, since there are both subtle and not so subtle changes, including getting a new canopy. So it's nice to have a ready made P-80A

A new Spitfire for Sword in the guise of a recce variant. I'm sure some will bemoan about something but it's nice to see a less represented machine.

Now THAT I like!

(But then I would, wouldn't I?

)

I don't think a PR IV has been kitted in any scale before, and it comes with all the goodies too, long and short wings, 3 different oil tank/air intakes and two props. And I don't think I've ever seen a non vac-form PR canopy before either, they should sell that on its own on the add-on market,

The Wooksta! · June 17, 2011, 12:08:42 PM

Non vacform PR canopy? Fujimi PR.XIX, MPM PR.XI and Airfix PR.XIX?

The long span tips will be for BR416 (which was a PR1D, not a Mk IV proper). Very welcome release, I can see me getting half a dozen as it means it's the basis for a PR.1D out of the box.

The Big Gimper · June 18, 2011, 04:08:56 AM

Nice. Now what do I do with the Tamiya Mk 1's and Pavla PR upgrade kits I bought?

The Wooksta! · June 18, 2011, 08:36:41 AM

Use them?
