Thanks!

I am building this kit at the moment, When I start posting pics I will link to this excellent review I have bought brass turned gun barrels and HGW seat belts, which come with a brass etch seat as well

I will be building this as Air-A-Cutie, using paint masks of course

Hi Mal; I was planning to ask if we could link your MM set to this. I've seen it before and think folks will want to, too.

Fred, thanks for a really excellent, well written review.

Mal,
So now your actively building your 1/32 Bf110, 1/24 Tiffy, and the 1/32 P-39. I'm duly impressed. I'm having a hard time just focusing on the "messily" 1/48 F-4B. Looking forward to your pictures.

Wow ! Great to see. always like the Revell 1/32. The 109 tht came out is very good, sounds like the P-39 is the samething. Great stuff.

Yes no problem Fred, I'll do the Air-A-Cutie set as a promotion for this In 1/32 scale it would be £17.25p but, for any Kitmaker member posting here and showing a picture of their kit I'll do the set at 10% off, for the Kitmaker membership and 25% off for the promotion £11.21 (say £11.25)+ P&P Less than a 1/48 set!

Here are some pictures of a 1/48 scale model built by Kenneth Pedersen, yes everything is painted using Miracle Paint Masks













There are comprehensive instructions for the port nose art; I didn't have time to write any for the starboard side, but it works just the same. There are also comprehensive instructions for the rest of the markings, plus 3 pages of generic instructions; including a set of comic book style instructions drawn by Chuck Wojtkiewicz (ChukW1)




Don't forget the He162, Bf109E-1, P-47, Hawker Hurricane, J2M3 Raiden, all in 1/32 scale, and a 1/72 scale Hawker Typhoon Most of them are moving forward
