ghodges Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 You've got these Tamiya kits down to a science, and you build almost fast as the Duke! I really like the lighter colored control surfaces. Thanks for sharing! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the lighter colored control surfaces. Thanks for sharing! GIL I like Tamiya (shake and bake) kits. I am starting to like Airfix betterthan in past , seeing that more 1/48 scale kits are being released with good detail. I find it said that oversea manufactures now haver more new releases Gone are the days of Monogram/Revell being in the lead. Duke and you always have kind comments on my builds thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 You're welcome, they are worthy of such accolades. And Gil, I think he has surpassed me in speed, certainly in quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ju52junk Posted April 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 The Frank and Oscar look similar. The tails look different. The Frank tail has a rounded tip and the Oscar tail tip is more pointed. The spinners also have different shapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Deliduka Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 It also appears as if the Frank's cockpit is a little further back in the fuselage than the Oscar's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ju52junk Posted May 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Looking more closely at the kit. I am wrong. The plane is not a Frank but an Oscar. What through me off was the tail tip. The tip looked rounded, like a Frank's tail. But the aerial mast is in front of the cockpit like the Oscar and not behind the cockpit like the Franks.

ju52junk Posted May 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 The exhaust also shows this to be an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aAzZ09 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I thought it originally was an Oscar. It seemed to bear the silhouette. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
