Hang the expense, I must get me a WNW.  That is sheer inspiration, a lovely model.

 

Thanks Mike...................you definitely wont regret ever getting a WnW kit.

 

Realistically, if you look at Sir Peter Jacksons pricing, WnW 1/32nd kits are at $69.00 / $79.00 / $99.00 dollars for smaller fighters, larger slightly more complex fighters, and larger two seat or bombers respectively.

 

In the 1/32nd realm where people pay anywhere from $120.00 USD to $250.00 USD for similarly sized aircraft, that may (or may not depending on the rarity of the kit) be similarly sized, but would likely not fit as well as the WnW kits, Sir Peters kits are a bargain IMHO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just awsome my friend !

Brilliant work and results ;)

 

 

 

Thanks Loic!    High praise indeed with the caliber of your builds my friend.

 

Cheers to all!

 

 

Looks like its party cloudy - sunny out today, and might just be good for RFI pics today...............

Justin, Matt, Dave, Tom, Peter, thanks one and all for the generous comments. This was a "quickie" for me that really turned out well I think for what little time and effort I actually put into it.

 

Cheers!

Great build Brian!  

 

I've definitely bookmarked this thread .. I've a Snipe (an "Early" though) sitting in my stash waiting for the go at some point.  

 

BTW - Prym's thread is also available in black (their code 970 010):

But, I have to say that Uschi's thread is very, very good too!

 

Cheers,

 

Grant
