New Revell 32nd hawk thread

Rob,

As musch as I agree with you, it just means that the kids/plastic builders (and not modellers) can put this together without painting it!

I should have mine about 10.30 tonight!

[markmarples]

james is right revell are trying to sell it to the masses, kid want it ready to go

[HighlandSniper]

I've no doubt about that, but it doesn't help my disappointment.

[jamesv9820]

I think this will be a fantastic seller - Nicely priced..

Looking forward to getting mine now!

[markmarples]

[jamesv9820]

Good news guys is there is no seam to sand on the canopy.....

[jamesv9820]

Ha ha - I just have visions of you kicking the cat and throwing the laptop/PC around!

[jamesv9820]

I can send you some soon Mark but it probably will not be until Sunday night as I am away all weekend

[jamesv9820]

Just had a long look at the kit. You get an awful lot for your money!

so much so, that I can't fit the parts back into the box. Mark, mate, you are gonna love this kit!!!!

[markmarples]

no thnaks guys i have some piccys

[Dave Smith]

Other readers might some pictures useful

[HighlandSniper]

Is it possible someone could post a scan of the instructions please.

I too would welcome better photos - I'm trying to plan ahead.

[markmarples]

rob somones just emailed me them i will forward them now

[HighlandSniper]

Thanks Mark - it'll help with planning extra work needed.

Hoping Eduard and the various resin manufacturers get going on Flaps, undercarriage, cockpit etc. ASAP. I'm not holding my breath on Flightpath, they usually take ages but the Eduard, Paragon and the like are usually pretty quick off the mark.

What are others' thoughts on this?

I was just looking on the Model Alliance site - nothing there so far on decals, what are they offering Mark?

[edit]

Received - thanks Mark

[HighlandSniper]

A quick run over the instructions shows things to be better than I had originally thought. The level of detail seems not bad, but the like of the canopy needs framing, and the cockpit more detail. It seems there is the major part of the gun-pod present in the Red Arrows version of the kit, but no weapons pylons etc., hopefully these will be added to subsequent kits.

I'm not so disappointed as I was yesterday. Thank goodness there don't look to be too many nasty joins which would require filling, how well the engine intakes fit/blend remains to be seen, but things are definitely looking up.

MA havent anounced anything yet except for the 2010 special scheeme

A2Zee have got somthing in the pipeline but are keeping quiet, at the moment

i also believe that OH models may well be doing a decal sheet soon

so then are you going to join a GB with this
