Looking good mate, always a pleasure following your stuff! Another well-done Fw 190..
And you have a good taste in beer! I love Crocodile! Come sweet corn-taste in that one (made 80km from me btw)..
-
Again, absolutely stunning! A piece of art.. Will they speak about Mal´s stuff like da Vinci´s Mona Lisa and others in the future?
The wheel-wells, MG-banks and the cockpit just are so.. ..alive? The dirt is very well and natural. Wish I could learn this.
Looking forward to your next, future projects mate!

Absolutely stunning mate! The diorama is wonderful! I guess my P-47s are screaming in so your pilot is in a hurry?
The other idea is great, would love to see you do it. I have had some plans for a diorama as well later on and this just inspires me even more! Really look forward trying my ideas in this scale - and with you as the Dark Master learning me some skills...
(One way or another..
Just kidding!)Keep it coming!
-
Yepp, it really is awesome! And to know that you have a second P-51 later on..
Should invite myself over to you soon-ish with a couple of cans of beer and have a look up close!
-
Again, absolutely super gorgeous! Keep those beers coming, they are well-deserved!

If my memory serves me correctly, the Lancaster's wingspan is 102" and the B-17 larger at 103".
That should ease the size concerns...
Tom
Surely you meant centimeters..?
Gotta have one of these.. I am living in a small-ish, 34m^2 apartment - but I will find a place! Or have it as my cottage outside....
-
Excellent as always! The weathering seems really good in the ´bays. Can´t wait to see the MGs installed!
Haven´t had a look at those ammo-links but the detail is good I guess.
I am glad you built it with open gun-bays!

This is so incredibly good-looking and more importantly - incredibly useful for me as a reference, trying out this for myself.
I have a lot of stuff to shop now. Loads of parcels for Christmas..
Can´t wait for the rest..!

Cheers HÃ¥kan! Could not be kept off posting..
Though I have yet to leave the 1/48-bog.. But I am on my way into the manly scale(s).. Looking forward to it Mal!

Well. You guys have convinced me to give the Hasegawa Jug another look. Scored a P-47M off eBay last night. Already know the plane I'm going to do, too. Just need to figure out how to scale up the nose art.
God I'm such a sucker for the P-47...
Would love to see that - after Spitfires, I cannot even imagine a finer a/c than the mighty Jug.
Too bad we probably won´t see that Tamiya-Jug..

Thanks DoogsATX!
I think the Spitfire releases are in large part informing the Corsair releases. Specifically, I suspect maybe the XVI didn't sell as well as the Mk.IX and Mk.VIII. Hence the decision to release the "least popular" Corsair first.Maybe the market got a bit saturated with big, high-quality Spitfires? On the other hand, I am pretty sure both the Mk. IX & Mk. VIII would be more popular than the Mk. XVI. Reminds me, I should get one ASAP..! I have none in the stash..
But I don't know how much sales drive the decision to do extra versions. I mean, I have to imagine the P-51 sold like gangbusters, but no P-51B/C...
Perhas they are holding on so people can emptying their stashes and get into the P-51-mood again?
Connected to the sales of the Spitfire Mk. XVI above..?A P-51b/C makes so much sense following up those Ds and Ks. And personally it is my favourite of them ponies..
I really, really want it to be a Jug, but that doesn't jive with the various rumblings.Gotta have to agree with you there! But since Hasegawa have their excellent, or so I am told, bubbletop, they are keeping their fingers off it?
A Razorback would fit in perfectly though..
-
I guess it would help if we actually but the current one, no? The Spitfire Mk. IXc might not have had its brother Mk. VIIIS & XVIs unless we had bought quite a few of the first kit..
I am not too familiar with Tamiya´s release-policy, but they do not announce a year in advance like for example Airfix (in December), do they?
-
According to scalemates, the Mk. IXc was released in 2009, the Mk. VIII in 2010 and the Mk. XVI in 2011. But I would not know, I was not around building kits then..
-
Ah, exciting!
I definetly think a proper North American P-51 B/C/III Mustang would be a good option!
Then others also already mentioned: Bristol Beaufighter, Supermarine Spitfire PR.. XIX, Supermarine Spitfire Vc and/or Vb with Trop.-option (Vokes & Aboukir-filter).
I am not much a a jet-builder, as for now, so do not really now there but I think the British Phantom would be nice to have in the future..
