They look fine on my comp when i open them, they are very wide which might be why they are compressed once loaded.

Great loking build, and glad to hear it went together well, i have this one in the stash. Nice to see one built up.

Thanks Bish, much appreciated...it is a great kit, Revell GmbH have never failed me, yet, with quality of product and engineering, you'll really enjoy building this one.

Cheers

Thnaks, i look forward to doing mine. Its a pity Revell didn't allow the option of the wing bomb bays being open though.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3

I have the same kit in the stash, waiting for time to get to it. Looks like I'm not the only one who suffers from the picture demon....

Wonderful build! Once i clicked on the pics they were clear and unshrunk (probably not a word in scrabble lol).

In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!

This looks to be a nice build. At least on my screen though, the pictures are really compressed left-right. Could you fix that?

Thanks GM, much appreciated.

I've no idea why it's compressing the photos, left to right, but if you click on the indvidual photos, they open up to full size...well, they do on my computer, not sure if it works for everyone else?

Cheers

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

Hello Chaps,

It's been quite a while since I posted on here, due to life and work, but today, I've finally got a little time to post something.

This Revell of Germany kit is another great kit produced by them, engineered well, good quality molded parts, nice details, and everything goes together very well. I only required a little filler and that was at the joins of where the canopy and front nose end window fitted to the fuselage.
Flash was very little if anything, ejector pin witness marks were kept away from visible surfaces and nothing was warped, but, exactly what you'd expect from a recent tooling from 2015.

It's good value for money too, 257 parts in total for $34.67 from Hobbylinc.com.

I built this model straight out of he box, the only addition being the two antenna cables that were made from .010" fine black EZ-Line.

I bought mine from a local store that I had a $5.00 off coupon, so, less than $30.00 for me.

Conclusion: Super kit, great price, highly recommended!

Anyway, enough waffling, here are some photos, hope you like....
