Bruce_Crosby Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi Guys, I saw the kit at Telford and loved it, one of my favourite planes. It's late war, so it's "product engineered" to be simplified construction with a big powerful engine, rather than the sleek lines of the Spitfire. it incorporated the experience gathered in a long war, better laminar flow wing, inward folding undercarriage, bubble top, etc. So saving my money for one in the new year as this week I've ordered a load of extras for Revell's Ju88A4, a Z-M Raiden and Fly's 234, plus some books from Amazon just to give myself a nice Xmas present. Regards, Bruce Crosby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 This is a great thread, my Spiteful is not on the build list yet but looking at this I might just change my mind and bump it up a tad. Cheers Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Hi Dennis I seem do be enjoying this kit as well, just hope it all goes together well, it should do the test fits seem perfect Bob Edited November 30, 2014 by elric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elric Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi Bruce I also was at Telford & Looked at the Iconicair stand, also was very interested with the Fly 234 but would like the 4 engine type, have two Ju88, I like Mistels one though is to be the Ju188 with parts from Aims.

elric Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Lets have a look at the rest of the parts Good fit could nearly put it on the model without glue The Exhausts have a nice boxed section to fit in on the engine panel support unit Bob EmperorKai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
