Grunhertz Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thanks for sharing it was a great show this year. Talked to and met loads of people. Spent too much and asked airfix an awkward question or two. Like can you guarantee tamiya quality for tamiya price? On a lighter note the Hellcat looks awesome as does the ZM HS129 I didn't see the 0/400. I must be the only one but I wasn't that impressed by the oilcanning on the WNW lanc it looks a tad overdone to me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnB Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 My first reaction to the 1/24 F6F was "Too big, I just don't have room for it". After seeing the photos I think I'll have to "bite the bullet" and build one. Really looks outstanding. But, where to put it??? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 No doubt it can be a really outstanding model. I just wish it was 1/32. However, I will not pass it up. It just looks TOO good! Any idea as to what the price will be? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK RRP is £119.00 for my money there had better not be any moulding foul ups at that price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebottle Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I reckon my supplier will offer it for around £99.00 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a collective thank you to adress to Cees for starting and reviving his scratchbuilt kit ... What’s your next scratch project, Cees ? Can we steer you in the right direction ?

Seriously, I am very grateful to WNW, the model looked fabulous and better than anything I could build. Bring it on I would say. And my poor old HP 0/400? That will sit next the WNW model in the future. Hoooooezooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! Cees 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 John A 1/24th scale F6F. I’m in and it’s a bench clearing project for me. Looks to be a gem just like Airfix’s Tiffy The Hellcat is a game changer for me and no question I’m in for more then one. Thank You Airfix Peter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Guys I grew up in the 1950's and 1960's half way between Grumman's (Bethpage) and Repiublic's (Farmingdale) and have more then a soft spot for anything with wings that came off of their production lines, not to mention I'm a Hellcat fan. I'll be leading the charge when the Big Hellcat it's the shelves. Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
