Administrators James H Posted November 9, 2014 Administrators Posted November 9, 2014 Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, After a hectic Telford this year, finally arrived home mid afternoon and took the photos of the sprue shots for the forthcoming bomber version of the DH Mosquito, from HK Models. Plenty of slide-moulding on show here, including elevators, ailerons, rudder, flaps, wingtips, and that stunning fuselage and SINGLE PIECE wing! Yes, you read that correctly....the entire wing (except tips, with two options), is ONE part!!! No joints to remove....just a fine moulding seam. Notice optional canopy parts, and choice of cookie and regular bomb load, with the bay doors to suit. There will be a 2 stage engine option, but that's being worked on. What you see here is for the single stage Merlin. Despite plenty of slide moulding genius, this model still has over TWENTY sprues! Enjoy!!
GUY5Y Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 My wife just asked why I was drooling.....Thanks Jim!!
wemattson Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 Like Doogs said, this is a must have. It's amazing how far injection moldig has come, that one piece wing is amazing.
rkranias Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 A few Spit Mk.IX's provide escort for a to a bench near you. Hopefully yours maybe mine.
Artful69 Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 O.M.G. ... James, thank you!! ... She is sex with wings *sigh* ... These guys really are the ducks nuts Rog
kahunaminor Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Just beautiful. I can see this becoming the one to place in the "must have" category! Thanks for the look see!
JohnB Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 That really looks good! I will have to get one for sure.
mgbgtv8steve Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 When you see it in 'the flash' there's only one word for it - stunning!! Can't wit for the two stage to appear! Well done once again James!!
Guest Kagemusha Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Unbelievable. Hope you'll be posting a build soon, very soon Jim.
MikeMaben Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Does look very nice indeed. Wonder how long til the MkVI ???
One-Oh-Four Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Looks gorgeous! But then again: I saw them already at SMW! Muahahahaha!
Trigger Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I have already built the 1/24 airfix Mosquito, but i DEFINITELY want this one, ( a lot easier to display also), will be following this closely, as soon as it's out i'll be all over this kit.
youngtiger1 Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Holy cow, is that a one piece (front/rear) fuselage and wing I see? Reminds my of Fisher kits. Totally cool Mike
Miracle Paint Masks Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I will be wanting every Mk of this that they will do. I'm working on the camo masks as we speak 4
Grant Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 I will be wanting every Mk of this that will do. I'm working on the camo masks as we speak Oh, I'm glad to hear that Mal, these will definitely be epic kits and that extra special touch will do no harm either ! Can't wait. Grant
Miracle Paint Masks Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 h, I'm glad to hear that Mal, these will definitely be epic kits and that extra special touch will do no harm either ! Can't wait. Grant Yes they definitely look like they will be epic kits, separate internal framing for the cockpit, as well as the one piece wing/ fuselage, I was hoping for that I do hope that HKM do the Westland Whirlwind in this scale as well. Not a model that shouts out that it would be a great seller, but done as well as this I reckon that it would be the thing of dreams Now that would definitely warrant a mask set
