LSP_Ron Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 1 hour ago, GMK said: That’s looking really nice. Segue into broader Hellcat questions - can the aircraft fold a single wing? And can the guns be serviced/loaded with the wings folded? Thanks. Yes the wings fold manually so one can be folded and one straight but it would have to be locked to stay extended.

PhilB Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Dear Airfix. Instead of re-popping the "car door" Tiffie with decals for something about as obscure as the winner in a most obscure contest, could you please put the Bubble Top Tiffie back on the shelves as I want one and it's as rare as rocking horse poop and I don't do Evilbay. Tanks, (Not the 1/35 variety either) Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides RAF(British,Canadian and New Zealand) markings,their were no other users for the Typhoon than the German captured one. I would do this with the old 32 nd Revell kit.

RAF and the German captured one is about it AFAIK especially for the car door. The Typhoon was quickly SOC once the war had ended. The Hellcat Schemes look good.. Nothing too adventurous the USS Randolph scheme looks good.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilichpaul@gmail.com Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) There is a lot of talks about Airfix should only do British subjects. Like what? All American aircraft are British subject anyways they used them all and we used all of your stuff. We even went as far as integrated pilots in each airforce. We were so close in destroying the Axist there was no difference between each other. B 17 flock coming back from bombing Germany would be rescued by Spitfires every day was there a difference? How many British men called for an air strike and it was USN Hellcats that came? How many Americans called for airstrikes in France and Spitfires and Typhoons came or worse the Mosquito? You forget the Hellcat was an Allied aircraft that fought for all of us. The only thing different about a Hellcat then other Allied aircraft it was the big killer the Ace maker. When you look at it compared to the others the thing we all think is how that fat girl is the number one killer. Bloody Hell can the pregnant girl get off the ground? The Hellcat is a British subject if you think of it right the baby is yours.

Exciting stuff - I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I like how Airfix are collaborating with the aftermarket, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
