1/24th Airfix kits, any good?

[Guest]

All good stuff this chaps.

I've started to notice other larger kits about, maybe the Trumpeter ones are good? My real wish is a BIG Merlin to build, the plane is secondary! Anyone have a 1:1 Merlin in the shed they dont want??

What about the Airfix Mossie, you get two in that! One on display in the airframe and one on a stand, sorted? There again you need the size of an average garage just to put the thing in!

[Guest]

Err, I'm starting to have second thoughts on this..........

Does anyone want a none built Airfix Mossie, minus engines??

An extreamly tempting offer that!

But I think I will have to pass. lol.

M1ks, the scan offer would be gratefully recieved, cough. Unless someone has a mag I can borrow etc? Maybe a back issue could be got?

Sigh, I think I may have to save up and "slum it" with a Tamiya 1/32nd Spit.

Any thoughts on the 1/32 Revell Mossie? Are the engines nice on that? The kits only about £12.50 from Antics at the mo, there's a Griffon in the MK22 Spit too.

Oops, the Revell' a 1/48th. Its a possible though.

[Guest]

I suppose I could build a smaller one and look at it closer...

Darn it, wouldn't you know I had mine in the free ad's just last week and someone collected it yesterday! I realised it wasn't a goer when I couldn't fit it in my Z650 motorbike frame and it was just hogging the shed.

I do still have the wing mounted cannon if you want to make an offer on those? :laughing:
