Can I get the lowdown on this model from anyone that owns it -- good, bad, ugly please? I'm considering this one, or the new torpedo version -- but can get this one for significantly less, and only have room for one.  |
I had it, Pappy, but sold it. However, I didn't sell it because I didn't like it, or because it wasn't a terrific model; I sold it because of space/size issues, and I decided not to expand my collection into multi-engine bombers... at least not yet.
The model is beautiful... all pad printed markings, nice paint job, and relatively nice detail. No visible screw heads
, tail swazi is pad printed. Canopy removes to reveal cockpit which is, again, relatively nicely detailed. Be careful with the guns, antannae and pitot tubes as they will snap easily. You probably already guessed it is HEAVY. I have read some reports that perhaps the markings are a bit off... but I cannot comment here with any degree of authority. Mark posted pics of this one some time back... you may want to check out that thread as the pics were, of course, excellent. Where is Mark? Man I miss his pics.
