VH-KDK Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Ha ha, took a few seconds for the old brain to identify this fantastic plane. What a great looker too. The good old days when making plastic kits was the norm, now we can fly the same planes around with so much realism. I had dozens of Airfix WW2 planes of all shapes and sizes in my room, can almost smell the Humbrol paint drying now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a quick look at some of the Tamiya models on offer, what a fantastic range of WW2 aircraft and a lot in 1/48 too. The last kit I made was over 30 years ago and I think my eye sight and fingers would not be up to it today which is a shame looking at what is on offer.

I subscribe to a modeling magazine (aircraft and not girls) just for the fun of it and you can't imagine the level of details these guys are putting and the myriad of products that enhance the models even more. It's astonishing. FS is my hobby now and it's much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(hope this isn't counted as advertising) In my opinion Brian Alexson (odourboy if he hangs around here) did a better a job on the systems of this bird than I did on the F-86 . And it is his first project as a dev at Milviz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, my first plastic kit was the Airfix TBM Avenger but was not a winner ...and mine was the Lindbergh PT-109. But very soon I switched to the airplanes, especially the post WWII jets. I still remember when I used to literally leak the window of a toys shop looking at a big scale Revell F-102 Delta Dagger (in that times there was only the box-scale, not yet the 1/72, 1/48 - my favourite one -; removable engine, movable surfaces and so on. After a lot of years I found and purchased it on eBay from the States. Just for the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to make model aircraft, and I just said my interest was "models", which got a laugh from most of my classmates. It took a second, but I eventually corrected and told them I was talking about model aircraft. Great set Fulvio (it is Fulvio right?) A really nice jet which I have really been looking forward too also. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penzoil3 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Nice pics. I just built a Sopwith Camel model (1/72), and have a Huey (1/24) waiting for me. My first warbird was a Revell TBF Avenger. In about 1959... I'm still in my first childhood too, I refused to quit having fun. LOL Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some time I was tempted to buy the 1:12 Hasegawa Sopwith Camel; all built in metal, plastic and wooden parts; but too much expensive, at the time. The first plastic kits was presented to me in the late Fifyies by customers of my grandparents "trattoria" (Italian pub version) that used to sail to the States as sailors. I got even my first blue jeans, from this people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
