  1. Only one problem ( sometimes) people dont like to pay the extra cost of the packing . It can cost to provide protection, they dont appreciate the time and effort involved in preparing the packing . Not everyone has access to foam and it costs to buy it in and the cost has to be met by the customer. Same as "custom boxes" , i have yet to find a standard box so that different models can be packed economically. I have to add that U.S carboard boxes are by far superior to U.K boxes. It is hard to find twin wall or triple walled boxes here and the single walled boxes are so flimsy that double boxing is required and therefor adding to the final shipping weight. Most modellers who sell their models know this ,but "joe public" don't appreciate what goes into providing a safe package . All they want is the price of a stamp to ship.
  2. From what i have read somewhere ( forget now) its likely to hit £150 mark ... good luck to them .. i have better things to waste £150 on

    P-51b

    Awesome, my friend . I like that a lot
  4. Looking at your build and the number of parts i am sure it is based on the revell kit as i build one a while ago . it too had raised rivetts etc
  5. Use a satin clear coat . it deadens it slighty and looks better
  6. Buy decent paints and brushes you dont see the brush marks . why ppl sand after brushing i'll never know
  7. Yes Matt I was confused . but not that much difference between MK's
  8. The trump kit looks better , but will have to see reviews on both . I built the trumpeter kit and it was excellent. Prices on the trump p-40 are so cheap on bay it may not be worth buying the hasegawa offering yet
  9. I have to disagree with a member on forum .. Gloss and satin acrylic can be brushed without marks . I use xtracrylix and hand paint all my kits and i have never had a brush mark left , Tips : use a good quality brush and xtracrylix or lifecolour ..Tamiya is not a good paint to use if brushing and stay away from the new humbrol acrylics .. I dont use enamels for brushing ( that is my own personal opinion) .
  10. Derek .. Wait a while and SBX will have them . He is waiting for shipment from Gargoyle .. when spits are available in U.K he will have them . Well lets see who can make a decent kit of our "National Treasure"
  11. Brad ...Check charles link .. it will be in kit form
  12. Hi Radu I cant remember i was just googling and just went through lists . I didnt think it would be that important .
  13. Saw on another forum ( not modelling) and different view .. If you want a spit that looks not kinda right buy it . Even if it is cheap .. Wait till someone buys and then see . Unless they put it right before general release,I'm stayin away
  14. No dihedral on wings .. passing up on that
