Eduard says the upper fuselage is dk. Sea gray on their 1/48 mk.ixc but I thought it was ocean gray? Did the later version have have dk sea gray uppers?
Thanks!

Can we get a 1/48 Mk.II tempest some maybe?

Yet, I'm here still waiting for the super etendard that was announced way before this and the mig.

Knowing Eduard, the cowl for their Mustang will come in two pieces. Why? Because they can.
Pretty much. Don't know why they made the upper cowling two pieces on the spitfire.

I really hope airfix does an early version D as meng doesn't have this option.

Judging by the sheet #, I wanna say 32nd? If so, I hope we'll see a 48 scale sheet.

There was a big discussion about the pricing of trump/boss kits and came down to the US distributor "Stevens international" for the huge Mark up. Sending shipping containers across the pond isn't cheap.

If I remember correctly you still had to do surgery to the Hasegawa kit to remove the fillet. Its been a while since I've seen one in person though. I think this is why we haven't seen Hasegawa really marketing a non-filleted Mustang despite the interest among modelers. Regardless, 1/48 is in dire need of a mainstream modern tooled OOB non-filleted early P-51D and lets just hope Airfix comes through.
Cheers!
Typical hasegawa fashion. Tool one variant and box it as another variant and tell you cut n paste hear and so on.

Or they can do what tamiya did with their 32nd kit and have a split fuselage. Gives one the fillet option. Heck, maybe eduard will do this.

I bag and label all my spare parts and store then in 1 of 2 storage bins. either jet or prop.

I've used squadron,tamiya,mr.hobby,and other fillers/putties. I feel that squadron seems to be very grainy but is easy to work with. tamiya and mr.hobby dry pretty fast but dry rock solid so sanding my be a pit tedious.
If i'm trying to fill small gaps or scratches, i'll thin the putty down with lacquer thinner or use mr.surfacer.

I know there are a few SU-27 kits in 1/72 and I was wondering which is one is a combination on accuracy and ease of build. I'm not sure on which exact variant I want to build but it will be a single seat. variant. I see that hasegawa and trumpeter both have a one piece upper fuselage which is nice. this build will be strictly OOB. I have a few trumpeter kits but never used their decals. How do trumpy decals hold up?

An early D without the fin fillet would definitely get my attention. "Passion Wagon" and "Lou IV" without surgery!

I'm happy with the tamiya kit. I didn't know meng ventured into this subject. I think eduard would be nice if it doesn't have an open cowl option. Their 1/48 Emil was......

I believe the aires and qb are the same seat but the aires has pe belts and qb has belts molded to the seat.

Airfix does a lot of English aircraft so I thought I'd try.
