Anthony in NZ Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hey Jen, yes good spotting mate. That was something that was made clear to Tamiya during their kit development. Since they spent a lot of time measuring KA114 we needed to be sure they didnt drag any Canadian differences into their tooling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cees Broere Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 In what way, suscpicious is something different than incorrect. Can you elaborate please? Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HL-10 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm in the process of building one for a magazine review so I can't post too many photos. Its a pre-production test shot. Here are a few shots. Its completely OOB. It falls together with no drama at all. free image host post a picture picture sharing imagehost Anthony in NZ, joe, Alburymodeler and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Without drudging through my references to be sure, I don't see provisions for the requisite four per side rockets here. No matter though, as I have a great set of Paragon rockets and rails that could be pressed into service, should the need arise. It certainly doesn't look like it, especially when compared to the Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito instructions, so maybe this is the only Mk.VI boxing Tamiya will release, with hopefully a Mk.IV to follow. I also have the Paragon rocket set, but did read on Hyper that an AM manufacturer was looking into producing a set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Tamiya provide decals for the instrument dials, but the decals were not included in the pre production version I'm building so I used Airscale decal instead which have worked perfectly. image hosting BloorwestSiR, Blenheimboys and Anthony in NZ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Looks great. I've decided to work on mine and have just a WiP here. Carl HL-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Another view showing all the various "holes". They're not ejector pin marks as those are the larger circles. I wonder if these sink holes have something to do with a post-moulding shape integrity jig, to avoid warping of cooling plastic ? The only "holes" that make sense are those which might correspond to NF wing antennae, which represent a fraction of what's there. Looking forward to getting one of these and starting a very slow build while things on the WIP shelf make further progress Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 If you note in the Eagle Editions sub forum below, they have two sheets coming out for the FB MK VI. Eight schemes in all. Three profiles showcased on the EE site at this time, though all are completed. Currently, three scales planned but a 1/24th scale sheet is very likely. Choices for the large Airfix kit still to be determined. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 Just thought I should add a couple more pics of the PE sheets and the decals. The decal sheet includes a map and rank insignia for the crew. Haven't seen that before. Here are the two PE sheets. Sheet A Sheet B Take care in removing them from the box as the bag they're in is glued into the box. Carl geedubelyer and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
