Eric Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Wish someone would do a new 1/72 or 1/48 F2H-2 Banshee. Working thru the Airfix kit, and it needs some help. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmorrissette Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Heck yeah! This is so needed.... Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I agree too! The Banshee is overshadowed by the Panther and very under-represented, especially in 1/48. That said, IF you can find the 1/48 CollectAire resin Banshees for a reasonable price (and that would be THE trick!), they are both nice kits. The F2H-2 Korean War era Banshee is an older mold with solid airframe parts, but good detailing, metal gear, and accurate outlines. The later model F2H-3/4 is a super nice kit, with better resin, hollow cast fuselage and wings, and just a much detailing. Both come with a nice selection of decals too. Cheers!

Spruemeister Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 The Hobbycraft F2H-3/4 is not much better. Fits good all around, but it needs fixing here and there. The intake engineering is a bad joke. You have to blank off the gun troughs so you don't see straight across the fuselage. Decals were a lot of trouble. Minimalistic cockpit, which you can't see through the one piece closed canopy. Shallow main wheel wells. Trench like panel lines. All doable with enough time and effort I guess. At the end of the build I just felt like I would rather spend the time on something else. Rick L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swmunroe Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I would love to see a good 1/48 Banshee, any variant. I would also buy same in 1/72. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
