HubertB Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Well, these guys seem to have learnt the lesson that quality + iconic subject = cash flow. Wishing them plenty more of all of the above. Hubert 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see one in bare metal for me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I think I'd better get at least one. Need something to balance out all those Tamiya ones in the display case. Carl 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Brilliant, I am somewhat excited, although what am I going to do with my revell/hasegawa/barracuda stash ? 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 15, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted September 15, 2021 This is actually a very good thing. A Wingnut quality Spitfire 1. The last Spitfire 1 we had was that 1960s Revell release, which, ironically enough, is pretty close to being the most accurate one out there. Hasegawa tried, and missed, but other than the underbelly/wing fillet, did a very credible job. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I'm not promising myself to buy just one 'cause that isn't going to happen ... it's just a case of how many. I've built three Tamiya Mustangs, two Spits, one Corsair with one in the stash and my prized Mossie. Looks like the Spits are going to take the lead Keep 'em comin Peter 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaS Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Even though not my favorite plane... it is my favorite version of that plane. Thankfully they used their heads and didn't whip out some interwar &(**%$!^, some unarmed @(&%, or some civilian %()(@. I'm sure they'll be famous.... unless their next plane is a Fairey Battle, or Blackburn Skua. Personally, I wouldn't turn my nose up at an early Tiffie.... or have those been "done to death"? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Now that has got my attention, the new (2014) Revell I/II with help from Barracuda turned out pleasingly well but a WNW type quality Mk. I should smash it out of the park, I'm in. Cheers Dennis 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my vote is for a Hawker Henley. 😇 For some odd misguided reason, I really love that plane. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
