Royboy Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Nice to see yet another company sticking their toes in the water for aircraft in our scale! nmayhew and Rick Griewski 1 1

ericg Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 What a waste! Why on earth 1/35th scale? wunwinglow, Rick Griewski and Out2gtcha 3

No excuse in my book, but hey-ho. Although an autogyro by definition may look closer to a helicopter, in reality its closer to a plane. Both have fixed powered horizontal engines, a lifting wing and need of forward momentum to continue to fly, and neither is capable of hovering. The only difference is a planes lifting wing is stationary, and an autogyros rotates.
robertmro Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 I love it. The only problem is my life wouldn’t be long enough to build all the great kits that are out there or coming soon. scvrobeson, Rick Griewski and Anthony in NZ 3
Kagemusha Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 Yep, certainly a pity it's in afv scale, nice box art, is that Skegness in the background? Out2gtcha 1

A very pleasant surprise from Mini Art, more power their elbow (and anyone else that wants to join the party) It is nice that manufacturers are producing more interesting and unusual kits of this nature. Not just because the hobby is crying out for some 'out of left field' items, rather than the 'same old, same old' items, but because it has the entertaining secondary and added benefit of sending the nattering nabobs of negativism into a paroxysm of whinging about the scale used. Just enjoy the experience. More power to Mini Arts elbow. jimbo 1
Rick Griewski Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Will sit nicely in the display cabinet next to the Geman helos that happen to be in the same scale. Rick scvrobeson 1
wunwinglow Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Stupid scale. I'll pass, specifically because of the scale. Would def have purchased in 32nd.....
