LSP_K2 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Nice! I did a review of this very same kit, and saw tons of potential in it. HobbyZoneUSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have this kit, lovely work! I hope they follow up in co-operation with the planned VFS Spitty and Corsair as they'd be very good sellers I think. Then there's always the Hellcat, Wildcat..................aaah happy days!

TimW Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 That kit has some issues with the instructions and which part goes where (especially with the engine), but my it looks nice when built up. Great job! TW HobbyZoneUSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlow Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Very, very nice... Are you going to show the prop spinning (or whatever those wires power up?) Nice. Matt HobbyZoneUSA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added a Light Genie to the model which allows for remote control of lighting in the model. When I was first learning to fly with the CAP in the early 1970s, the squadron had a huge wall-mounted training aid for the switches, relays, and lights for cockpit, navigation, identification, etc., for the P-47/P-51 which the Light Genie could mimic. One effect is steady or blinking nav lights which, in the model, are LED and fiberoptic, and two types of cockpit lighting like these: Edited July 14, 2018 by HobbyZoneUSA mattlow and Gigant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
