Re: Toby's unmade up mind
Just been trying to decide which one to use. It'll be a 190 but that's a far as I've got.

Re: Toby's unmade up mind
Just my personal view but I would go with the new Airfix tool. But you sure have a nice F-Dub collection.

It is very good I agree but I may go for the HB for a quick build due to other GBs coming up.jssel wrote:Just my personal view but I would go with the new Airfix tool. But you sure have a nice F-Dub collection.

Re: Toby's unmade up mind
Also, is the Revell the old Matchbox kit?

Re: Toby's unmade up mind
Wow, there's a fine collection of decals, and some colourful ones too. Best of luck with choosing which one to do.

Re: Toby's Captured FW190 G3
I've gone for the Revell F8. The reason behind this is I'm going to use the markings of a captured G3 and cosmetically there's very little difference in them that I can find.
Sorry if this offends the purists
However I think Mr Vandal will approve that I'm going for the primarily white one

I thought you should know that the Academy Fw-190 in 1/72 has the options for a A-6 and A-8. The A-6 has a cowling that is a lot closer to the G-3 flown by the US Navy. I plan on using mine for the Tri-color scheme.
On second thoughts, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place!
