LSP_Ray Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 4 hours ago, KFS-miniatures said: so, maybe could you post some good example of picture? link or smth. Especially for close up on details. I will be grateful for your help, since I would like to understand what do you mean when you are talking about low (or high) res pictures. Thanks in advance I think your picture size is big enough. I would suggest a slightly darker background as the white kind of makes the parts wash out a bit. Also, maybe they are slightly over-exposed as well a little better depth of field? Seems like a narrow range is in focus? Could also be slightly out of focus, or a slight movement of the camera? Having done several similar reviews; I know the pain! It's a lot of work to get good shots of multiple parts of different shapes. Here is one of my reviews: LEM Flitzer. LSP_K2 and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 sorry for turning this into a photography thread! i was almost certainly not using the correct terminology, but what i meant was that when clicking on the photos they were as if they were viewed through dirty glasses - just not clear or sharp enough I let Ray make my excuses now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Got my kit yesterday and it looks great. I will drop everything I was working on and start right away (can be followed on LSM due to the Photobucket debacle). scvrobeson, monthebiff, nmayhew and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 For those , like me , who don't have a kit - a rather nice unboxing video from Hyperscake.. Uncarina, MikeMaben, Kagemusha and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Thanks and I have trouble watching with all the presenters face. Just me maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 There's also the DetailScaleView unboxing on YouTube if you prefer to only see the kit and not a presenter. I like these vids better than the Hyperscale ones in terms of ease of seeing the initial quality of the parts MikeMaben, Uncarina and scvrobeson 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 If you want to see the parts at your own pace, there are several picture and text reviews, none in English yet (Google Translate does a reasonable job) https://www.kitreviewsonline.de/westland-whirlwind-f-mk-i-in-132-von-special-hobby-32047/ Richard Fanes and Kagemusha 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Looks a lot like the Tempest, with really nice, if inconsistent, surface detail. Might need a sharp pin or pounce wheel to even them all out. Matt Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Picked up my kit today at my LHS. It will be on the bench for a quick look see tomorrow. I will not let the new get too close to my almost completed vac it I was pawing the other day. Could result in an almost matter-anti-matter reaction. scvrobeson, LSP_K2, Nighthawk Calling 1 and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could result in an almost matter-anti-matter reaction. oK I locked the vac kit in the closet and... what a nice kit! So much so I had to dive in and assemble it. The wing looked like over engineering trouble within the radiator area. But The top and bottom went together flawlessly after assembly of all the many internal parts. I did apply caution as the parts are handed. The front bulkheads inside the nacelles only fit one sort of cryptic way that fell into place only after I taped the two haves together. I then glued one side. I will take some pictures of all the sub-assemblies ready to paint and post them later next week (circles and arrows may be included). Oh yes seat harness is not included but some nice 500 lb bombs with nice racks that are not used are include. IIRC the fighter and the bomber only differ by the bombs and racks. Maybe just different decals gets you the bomber. Uncarina, MikeMaben, Phantom2 and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
