So I should be out of hospital today, and I'll be off work for the next 8 weeks recuperating. I think it's time to tackle one of the big kits lurking in in the stash.

The choices are:

1/32 Revell Heinkel He-111
1/32 Revell Junkers Ju-88
1/32 Trumpeter Mig-29
1/32 Trumpeter Sukhoi Flanker
1/24 Airfix Harrier Gr.3

Ian.

Very tempted. The upsides are that it is a simple kit and that camo will be awesome fun. Potential downsides are the fit and filling. I'll be yreating it as a fun build though.

Voting is evenly split. This isn't helping.

Bishop Offline Moderator Posts: 7895 Karma: 111 Thank you received: 1265	Its never been equaled has it. Amazing plane. I'd love to buy the III as there are a couple going cheap, but having masked the 1:48 canopy I'm not sure I'd cope. Or perhaps it would be easier in a larger scale, anyway, do the Harrier just for fun. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
