Yeah....Revell.....They're fun kits and all but accuracy in their early kits was not one of their strong points.
I built an old vintage 1/48 Monogram Dauntless a few years back and used alot of interior parts from a Hasegawa SBD to help it out in addition to tweeking what was there on the Monogram offering. All in all she didn't turn out too bad and consider it to be one of my better early paint jobs in regards to military aircraft.
Holy cow, that is a nice paintjob! I can't stand the raised panel lines on Revell kits

Good looking Spit and it's an American bird at that. Extra cool!! Which kit is this?
As far as Airfix goes, they have really stepped up their game in the last few years. Better detailing and just better kits all the way around.
Thank you! I really liked the American livery, saw it on WarThunder and had to make it.
That spitfire is the Spitfire mk 1A.
I can't say much for upping their game, considering I started modelling with these kits. Though I can say they are wonderful, and when I started Revell aircraft, I was sorely disappointed. I thought everything was as good as airfix.

Canadians are like Americans, but with manners! 😀
I wouldn't say that... manners, not so much. Passive aggressive tendencies? Yes

Ah, I remember when my hands were that steady, not so much any more.
Excellent job! That kind of work takes a lot of patience.

Thank you! The raised panel lines make it a lot easier to keep straight though. If I had to paint that on a flat surface, no way it would look as clean.

Declan, I just sent you a PM regarding a local NS contact!
Thanks 🙃

I only just realized, you can't tell what colour it is in these pictures. It is a dark (apparently) olive green from Vellejo model air, 71.007

Got some of the chassis assembled and the wheels attached. Have had a few hiccups so far but nothing too major
Hey that looks pretty neat! I have to get myself one of these. I like the non branded tires, they are just a little different.

I never built any BP Defiants as a kid, so couldn't build one for this group build. I was heavily into 1/72 airplanes around 1963-65 or so, but I was mainly a Revell WARBIRD! kid. Only Airfixes I can remember building right now were the B-17G, the DH Mosquito, and the Bf 110. Hmmmmm....
Another possibility might be the Monogram box-scale Piper Tri-Pacer. I've got a couple of those, unbuilt, in the stash, and I definitely built one as a kid....
Oh the Piper would be cool! Could do a hot rod piper XD

I picked this up a few days ago.
I decided to go back to my roots, and I hand painted this. No airbrush or spray paint except for when I airbrushed some Pledge floor gloss at the end. Paint is all vallejo and citadel.

A little update:
I got impatient. I was going to do the panels via decals, but I had paint and an itch to work on this. I have to say (hand painted without any masking) the lines came out pretty straight. Have to do fix ups obviously, but I am pretty happy so far. The lower saucer lines look crooked, but that is because of the escape pods being raised. They will be painted a tan colour.

If you're talking about the ex-Monogram 1/48 F4U-4, the wing fit is the LEAST of that kit's problems!
Yah, I've done a few of them.
I'm thinking more along the lines of the ancient Revell box-scale kits of the '50s. I think I have the F-89 Scorpion and the B-25 on hand, both of which I built as a kid. Would be a blast to do either of those again. Of course I wouldn't really want to do a "replica" of how I built them when I was 6 or 8 years old; I'd have to at least lay a halfway decent paint job on them....
Ah ahaha yeah the corsair is a little... finicky.
I did the 1/48 B17G. Hand painted it too... man I think I got carpal tunnel from that.
I was thinking of doing an airfix 1/72 paul boultan defiant, but maybe I should do one of my old revell ones...
You should pick one of those and do that. Get a little variation in this group/community build (not that cars a bad thing)

You’re certainly welcome to join with an airplane
Sorry I hadn’t responded. Taking a few days vacation and hadn’t checked this thread
No problem, I will let you know which one when I figure that out for myself
-
Sooooo is that a no to only cars? The newer revell aircraft are just re pops, no new moulds. I have done a few of them, the Corsair being my favourite. That one however is such a pain to get the wings to sit right, so I would advise caution when looking at Revell aircraft. Love them still, but a little difficult.
-
what a fail...

Quick Question:
MUST it be a car? I only recently (ish) started cars, but aircraft is something I can go back to?
-
Good start. Will be watching

Anyone else from NS? Looking for a club, or just people of the sort.

Or forced naps...

AMT '89 Batman' kit VS Jada die cast....both 1/25??? Jada the smaller.
Moebius Batmobile built from test shot for Moebius.
I can't stand the new batman but that batmobile is the stuff of dreams. Nice paint colour!
I really want to do one of them.

Nice looking Spitfire. I built a lot of those when I was a kid, they were by Airfix. The local market had a model stall and sold tons of Airfix stuff.
Thank you!
I used to love airfix. I really want to get back into aircraft building again. Used to do tons of airfix aircraft. Good prices and the quality is what you pay for, so I like them quite a bit.

Great!
Thanks for the information guys

G'day all,
I recently fell to temptation in the hobby store. I saw the cutest little kit. A 1/32 Ford Model T by airfix. I looked at Scalemates and my kit version is 1973. I got it for a whole wopping 15 Cad.
Would it be trecherous if I built it, or is it worth more than 15 dollars? If anyone has built one, what is it like? Any mods suggested?
I need info on this kit before I know what to do with it.
Thanks
