No, Cory, it's the 1990's new tooling ('D-day anniverary' edition). I do have the 70's A-8 aswell though.

You're right my friend, of course, I'm just too much of a perfectionist and try to make thing as close to the original as possble (although I'm usually the only one who appreciates the detail in the end

)

Sorry too if my observations sound like nitpicking! I'm aware they could be read both ways, but Im really just an accurate detail nut!

Great advice with the grass too Terry and Alex! I never knew how to use it, so just bought a 1 X 1 m. roll of it.

Hope the 'grass' works out - the rolls are great for covering a large, relatively smooth area. If you want 'bare' patches, dappen the required area, and scrape off the 'grass'. Keep the 'scrapings', as these can be used for rough areas, clumps, weeds etc.
Kevin, that kit looks interesting. I haven't seen Entex for many years - I think they packed up in the early '80's.

Yea Terry this is Chris's version over at LSP it's pretty.

Large Scale Planes

Got this one today.....

Top stuff Jan ol' chap.

Airframes · 01-31-2009, 11:27 AM

I say old boy, spiffing! That's the one that Chris (Njaco) is building I believe.
Have you (or anyone) got or seen the Revell 1/48th scale Bf110G ? Need to know what it's like, as I might do it instead of a Hasegawa '109G6, which is out of stock at present.

Lucky13 · 01-31-2009, 11:45 AM

I've got it old sport....give me a couple of ticks and I'll shoot a few frames of it.

how much did those suckers cost ya? I've seen 1:32nd BF-110s on hobbylinc.com for just 20 bucks

Airframes · 01-31-2009, 01:45 PM

I say old chap, that was jolly decent of you! Thanks very much Jan, very helpful!
It looks rather nice, so I think that'll be the next GB entry then!
Robert, the Revell 1/48th scale kit is available in the UK for around £13, roughly $20 to $22 US. Those 1/32nd scale kits sound rather cheap! do you know if they are the old Revell nightfighter '110? A bit inaccurate here and there, but can be worked on.

1/32 Messerschmitt BF 110-C4/B (rmx855523) Revell/Monogram Plastic Model Plastic Model Airplane 1/30-1/39 Scale

hehe, I was surprised when I first saw it as well. I was like "a cheap 1:32nd scale kit!? that's an oxymoron! o.o

Airframes · 01-31-2009, 02:10 PM

Thanks for the link Robert. It's the old, early 1970's '110C. A very good kit in its day, although proabaly a bit 'basic' by todays standard. They were quite rare, but maybe Revell U.S. have re-issued? A good price though, as I noticed the Beaufighter and Lysander on the same page, at about the same equivalent price they are here at normal retail, i.e., £15 to £16.
Hmm! Wonder if they'll become available in the UK?

Lucky13 · 01-31-2009, 02:15 PM

Nae bother at all son, glad to be of assistance....
