Many Thanks A.A.
Ironic, as I've just got back from my regular warehouse/stockists of Die-cast a/c.
I've just bought another SIX 1/48th 'F.M' a/c (F.86/R.N.Hurricane/3 x P.38's & a B.25 Mitchell) - last time I bought EIGHT (
)
I've just put out a post (Post No.19) in Pappy's 'F.M.' P.47 ('Angie') thread, explaining my 'dismay' regarding the nasty Tail-fin/fuselage joint that seems to spoil an otherwise 'nice' model..........
I've actually had this one you've photo'd (
E.078 in
RAF -
SEAC markings) in my hands this afternoon.
It was a excellent individual-example - I was VERY impressed with the paint, wonderful.......
But that line Vertical-line running thru the front of the Tail-Fin & the rest of the Tail-joint looks ugly, no matter how well painted or researched they are (sigh).......
Put it this way = it was enough to stop me from wanting to buy it =
SHAME, as I really like the scheme.......
I felt the same about the other P.47's I saw (they didn't have Pappy's
"Angie" "B.292" on which the Tail-fin joint don't seem to notice = probably cause of the Black-paintwork ?????????
If everyone else enjoys it - then Good-Luck to 'em, as the rest looks good.
Just that a gap at the front of the tail-fin & a ham-fisted joint elsewhere, is enough to put me off !!!!!!!!
