JamesHatch Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I never even noticed the inner leading edge issue at all until the Caliper Crew and the Red Line Express got busy. That seems to be the nature of the hobby these days. Usually those that piss on everybody's chips are those without the ability to have even modelled the thing realistically in the first place, or to show their own abilities. I can think of one retro forum where that is the case. phantomdriver, David Hansen, dmthamade and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) In other words, be an adult. I neither required your opinion, nor did I solicit it. In other words, accept that not everyone has your own viewpoint, and instead of throwing insults, I suggest you employ some maturity. If you read my post, you'll note that I wasn't saying modellers should put up with something that was wrong. I was merely making an observation.

Guest Peterpools Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Having build the Tamiya Mossie, I'm looking forward to this Mossie and in civil markings would be a treat Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's about time someone did a Mossie with the 2-stage Merlins. I'm SERIOUSLY considering buying this one unless Tamiya announces a similar one at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 John I'm in for one ... but which show, I thought the show had already past? Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 What a fantastic opportunity to sort out that front end and radiator shape. Sadly they haven't, that front end looks absolutely ridiculous, you don't need red lines to see that! Still, many people won't care though. I don't normally care about minor shape issues, this however, is not minor....... Jeff T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Ron Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Forgive my ignorance on the this mark of Mossie, but could this kit be hammered into a Spartin airframe? I am not 100% sure of the differences from a PR-35 and a Mk XVI? Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Boillot Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Definitely so Ron. The telltale of the two-stage Merlin is the double intakes of the nacelle. As I mentioned to Ernie, apart from CF-FZG (Don Mc Vicar's racing Mossie), which was a single-stage B.30, other Canadian Mossies, like Spartan's ones, were two-stage Merlin powered.

Mark P Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Of course it is obvious, but one would have to come up with the markings. As well, the Spartan aircraft were uniquely modified with a number of external antennas and camera ports.

Mark P Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 It also appears HK providing markings for LR503, "F for Freddie" for the time of its unfortunate crash in Calgary, not the markings it wore during its European operations.
