Wingco57 Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 that would make many people happy when it is released. First time two stage Merlins on a Mossie in our scale.
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted April 22, 2017 Administrators Posted April 22, 2017 Supercool. And with our very own LSM logo on the side of the box!
mgbgtv8steve Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 I notice that Neil isn't showing the louvres on either side of the carburettor intake trunks introduced from around the B Mk 25 - this would enable later versions to be modelled like the B Mk 35. Also, now that we are in the 2 stage era, the possibility of night fighter and H2S equipped versions rear their heads - delicious! Just saying! Steve S. 1

As you say though, those don't apply to the versions modelled in this release as they are earlier.
mgbgtv8steve Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 "The Devil is in the detail" James, as I'm sure you know!! I'm trying to build this version as a B.35 so louvres, shown in the "new" plans for parts J1 to J4, apply and as I'm only a 'kit basher' with limited skills. I'm looking for Neil to "save my bacon" and bring them out - or does this suggest even more boxings of even more versions coming in the future?? Exciting ain't it!!?? Steve S. 1
Wingco57 Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 When finished you can display it at the Louvre. Could't resist
Administrators James H Posted April 23, 2017 Administrators Posted April 23, 2017 I think the original plan was a B.Mk.35, but as in a lot of kit development, things change. The original instructions I sent you were also in development, and it's likely that HK revised their plans so as not to complicate things at this stage. I recall the kit was behind schedule. The idea to settle on a Mk.IX and Mk.XVI will have been for numerous reasons, whether through information (or lack thereof), and maybe scheduling (distributors like to push as hard as consumers!) Anyway, just for Steve, here are some louvres. 2
mgbgtv8steve Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 But they're not in a bank of three with 7, 7 and 6 louvres, therefore they just won't do!! Anyone have any ideas how to produce the louvres I require? It's fun this hobby ain't it?! Steve S.
Wingco57 Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 It is, so buy it while you can/want so the revenue will enable HKM to release more interesting kits (after the Lanc of course). Cees 1
Nick Turner Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Got me cash waiting. Been waiting for a long time for one of these. Happy smiley face...
