I'm gonna have to buy at least one to satisfy my curiosity. If it's good, may buy another.
Also, hopefully encourage HK to make more 48th scale subjects!! For sure will if the next is a F Model B-17.

Now I'll have to pay attention what HK Models is doing!! As long as they made 32nd scale, I would ignore news from this company!! This changes my behavior!

Who's going to the Super Con tomorrow?? This has always been one of the better shows in the North Central Texas area.

I looked this up on Scalemates and this link will take you to what I found
https://www.scalemates.com/kits/italeri-2792-spitfire-mki--1235463
It seems to be a possible rework of an existing Mk IX/V molding. No information on what if anything has been changed.
If I remember correctly, Italeri acquired the Occidental Spitfire molds.
Geoff M
I didn't follow Occidental so I don't recall them ever having a Spitfire of any Mk.???? With recent releases of Mk. Is, wonder WHY Italeri even bothers if they didn't at least use one of the newer ones plastic?? It's MARKETING!! LOL!!!
Bo
-
Does anyone know if this plastic is the new Airfix one or Tamiya's ??? Guessing Italeri won't be the originator of the plastic.
Hope it's the Airfix new kit. I ASSUMED that Airfix just reboxed their older Mk. I and didn't bother to get it. ???
Oh well......

Geoff M

Not a box shaker assembly; but, it fills my need for this subject.
Acrylic paints from various sources, AreoMaster decals and Montex canopy mask.

Yes. The G is the first purpose made helicopter gunship and sorely misrepresented. It's a shame.
AND, there are so many decals just waiting for one!!

We sorely need a accurate D/H Huey. I have no faith Kitty Hawk will correct the errors of their 1/48 kit when they upsize it and a state of the art large scale AH-1G Cobra is sorely needed too.
Oh now ya done it!! I'd go for some more Hueys. Especially the C and M Models!! And I'd jump all over a Tamiya 48th AH-1G Cobra!! Why has ANYONE made this Snake????
Bo
-
Whoa!! You 'REAL' modelers make me so feel soooo inadequate!! That B-47 vac kit is one that I only dream to have started!!
Great builds!!
Bo
-
Well, has anyone made decals for that 48th scale B-36??? That would be unique.
Bo
-
Outstanding!! Ya put a good scald on that BIG puppy!! The shear size of it was an issue. I finished mine in sections and put it all together AFTER painting a decaling!
More pictures, please!!
Bo
-
Hope they do well with the Big Scale kit. Then they can drop back to LARGE subjects in 48th scale!!
Bo
-
Whoa!! Jaw Dropping!!
Bo
-
Whoa Ho!!! I seldom look at models that aren't 48th scale; but, this Corsair is just gorgeous!!! Looks REAL!! And that's what models strive for!!
Bravo all around!!
Bo
-
I do really like it!! Nice work.

I don't mind Critical Reviews, so I guess I posted my O-1 Bird Dog in the WRONG Forum!!
Please go to 'Display Case' Forum and Fire Away at my Bird Dog!

Looks very good. You did a great job on the clear parts which look like they could be a problem.
Geoff M
Thanks. Don’t look too closely. Used clear packaging tape for top and sides transparencies. Top worked great but sides are ‘so-so’. Wish I had mask for this kit.

Finally got around to building this subject. I looked at Roden's newer kit; bu, settled on this older Models USA/Hasegawa one.
It was part of the 203rd RAC at Phu Heip Army Air Field in the '69-'70 timeframe when I was there. This is the second Aircraft of Phu Heip AAF subjects that I build, the first was a Huey I flew.
Critical review are welcome.

In my current case, I WAS to the point of decaling my O-1 Bird Dog when our contractor began demolishing our kitchen!! I'm to the point of washing our snack dishes in the bath tub!! No appliances, or water, at all in our kitchen!!
And of all things today, nobody showed up!!! Had I known that, I coulda started, if not finished decaling!! Geesh!!

Resin MFGs HELP!!

Trumpeter screwed the pooch with the F-100 48th nose intake and the ONLY resin to correct it, and ya can't find them, is AMS.
Stop looking at exhaust and pay attention the intake!! Ya might sell a few???
Rant off!!
