Some real nice stash additions showed up today! Well colour me jealous Doogs! Sweet stash bro! Would love to hear your thoughts on the Corsair..... Cheers, Sam Re: the Corsair Probably the single nicest kit I've ever seen. Got to peruse a test shot a few weeks ago, and drooling over the real one in the real box with the real instructions and so on have just confirmed and reinforced everything. The detail on the kit is phenomenal. The wing surfaces alone...so much going on, but all very restrained and subtle, not the giant divot-like rivets you'll find in some Trumpeter kits. The engineering is possibly even better. Case in point...early on you pick your wing spar...raised or lowered. It's one beefy piece that runs all the way across, forms part of the gear bays, and slots into the wings. Then the wing ends have actual spar boxes that you glue in place, that (this being Tamiya) locate the wing perfectly. In the past, their engineering has been a bit gimmicky (see the Zero and to an extent the Spitfire)...this time out the kit doesn't really have any toy-like features. It's all business. Also of interest is the included booklet with details on the F4U Corsair. I find it extremely telling that they have pictorial/walkaround sections...and include the F4U-4. I've been assuming the releases would mirror their 1/48 output...F4U-1 Birdcage, F4U-1A and F4U-1D (though I've heard an FAA clipped-wing version is coming too). Might they be mulling some later variants? Heard nothing, but it'd be an awesome thing if they did.

Branching out a little, with some modern stuff
Then back to the older stuff...
Six kits for sixty bucks, how can you beat it?

I'm not big on 1/32, but I have the Tamiya Spitfire and Mustang. Think I may have to get my grubby mitts on one 'a these too!!! Cheers, Sam

Nice Braille buys there Jeff....love the modern stuff obviously and they're ALL Trumpy too Hang fire with yer AS90 fella and we'll do a duel build, you at 1/76 me in 1/35 if yer up fer it? Won't be for a bit yet though...later in the year maybe? Thanks Dicky, Squadron had a big sale on Trumpy stuff and I was so impressed with the Emil I got a few more. The M1 and the 90 are sweet. The Merk was the most expensive of the 3 and to tell the truth I'm a little disappointed with it. Mostly because it has the one piece molded track and road wheel set up. As far as the AS-90 duel build goes, that would be cool .
