Whatever moulds were made for WNW in the past by whatever tool shop are the property of WNW. Meng has no say in that.

Unfortunately... they all mostly disappear under the upper wing. And - I don't care! I'd probably go for a set of Gaspatch guns and try to get the levers and crash pads right, because that's my thing. Actually, compared to some the guns are pretty visible on a DR.I Richard LSP_K2, Rick Griewski and DAK66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're into a matter of opinion thing here. You're right - an etched shell is much closer to scale. For me, I rarely look at an 08/15 in contemporary pictures and thought how thin the jacket was I'd rather go with the Gaspatch guns, and I'm fine with whatever you choose to use Just as long as it isn't the things Academy provide with their 1/32 Camel.

Bob MDC Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) This could be the start of a great "Whodunit" "So it was Mr Meng with a 150 tonne lock press in Korea " or "Mr Peter Trum with beryllium moulds in China" WE could call it " Plasto" Or Clue**** Just my random musings after a couple of vintage ports !!!

Archimedes Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Having taken a look around t'internet in respect of Where Meng's box art came from, It appears that the whirling propeller fronting a lovely incorrect stationary radial engine may well have come from the cover shot of WWI Aero No.197 featuring a replica of Manfred von Richtofen's Dr.I 425/17: Dr.I The photo seems to match very well with what is on the box art.

sky Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 So, did anyone get their kit yet? Both of mine (big red box and regular one) are supposedly en route from HK since Thursday, so should be here in a month or whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most everyone who ordered the kit in the US from Sprue Brothers probably has it by now. I got mine on Wednesday. One I ordered from Lucky Model is on the way, but the one I ordered from HobbyEasy still hasn’t shipped.

I know, completely way out here, but the 917 is THE racing car for me. Judging by the # of large scale kits and books on the matter. Plus I've taken the half day drive to the Porsche factory museum twice just to see the 917s exhibited there. That aside, I somehow seem to have missed the pictures thread here. Blimey. My kits are shipping from hobbyeasy as well. And can I just say that I placed two separate orders because international shipping was still an issue at the time of the order, I now got two tracking mails both stating the same tracking number, so duh. According to hobbyeasy the shipping date was postponed by a week or two. It was said to be early August, but got pushed back to mid - late August. So add to that it'll probably be stuck in customs for a while as well (both in HK and here in L'Europe)... wake me in a month.
