UF,
Debating on hitting the BIN Button $8.00us on this newly released patch. What do you think? Attachment 302748
if you're going to go to RIAT, i suggest buying the things from the guys there personally. Unlike other units which just sell stuff there for beer money, the guys there significantly supplement their income with the trip. The UkrAF and even the display teams are at risk of losing pilots and ground crew due to low salaries, and this helps.
[Mumbles something about my personal interaction with the team this year including the replacement flanker pilot who is coming this year, but I can't post it in a public forum.]
If you're not going, then, by all means, get the patch!
Great collection you've got, I recently ordered the JC Wings Ukraine digicam Su-27 purely for the scheme.
Thanks mate, it’s taken alot of time to get to this point, 10-15 yrs in fact.
The digital Ukr Flanker by JCW is decent but I still think the colours are alittle off. It will probably be my only JCW Flanker now that HM are doing Flankers. I’m still keen to see what Fulcrums JCW do, if they release anymore. Again would prefer HM or maybe even Calibre to do them.

Yeah the only reason I bought it over a Hobbymaster one was the scheme. I'm not sold on their Fulcrums, might just build one of those myself as none of their schemes really appeal to me. I'll probably pick up one of the Hobbymaster F-14s due for release soon next.

Yeah none of their Fulcrums have appealed to most collectors. Plus I’m hoping if HM do one, the landing gears will be one piece and not 10
HM F-14 is not perfect but it offers value for $, I have 1, the first Jolly Rogers release but I would like a standard Sundowners release at some point.
Another nice model from Corgi, only down side is that it’s tail heavy.
Corgi AA36601 P-38 Lightning, “Marge” Maj Richard Bong, New Guinea, 1942
Great model, Corgi’s first P-38 and probably the best. Not sure about the stand though, even for Corgi, it’s not the best angle for display.
The Corgi P-38 is a little dandy, and I really like both Marge and California Cutie. However, Maguire’s bird is typically the HTF. I’ve never displayed mine without the stand. Hah, didn’t even know about the tail issue.
I know what your thinking, it dumped, well actually they never were expensive to begin with because close to 5000 were made, also helps when 1 vendor still had 10-15 of them

It really is a nice model from Corgi, I held out for awhile before finding one at a reasonable price. Almost went for a Witty P-38 but didn’t want fixed gears down.
Oh the tail issue is just with the Hunter, it’s full zinc and they even give a little clear plastic stand for the tail to sit on. I think the entire tail section of Corgi’s P-38 is plastic.

IMO, it’s really a better model than the 1/48 offerings from FM or AF1. The model is a great example of what’s possible in 1/72. It’s also a poster child for Corgi’s ability to do nice multi-engine models, while many of their singles are lacking in important regards.

I would like to collect more 1/48 models but I don’t have enough space for them, basically would need a 6th cabinet to display all the models I would have liked to get. That said, HM’s 109’s have been disappointing so it’s been easy to put that theme on hold. Same with the rather boring birdcage Corsairs, similar Juggs and copy paste Hurricanes

space? admit it, you're just waiting for them to dump
Typical average Chinese market quality, although not worse then what I was expecting actually, lacks some details that would make it stand out more eg detailed probe. The Chinese don’t add many markings on their aircraft so that part is consistent at least
Got this to satisfy my need for an early Fishbed type plus the double delta wing is cool.
Interesting packing, it comes in a book shaped box, loosely translated it sez classic Chinese fighters and 65 years of Chinese AirForce. I’m guessing this is to simulate the communist red handbook.
On the photo its not a chinese book - its the original Terebo box so that UF can easily hide his new addition... you wanted to say?
with how gappy it is and a probe that looks like something they stick up your @$$, he'd probably keep it boxed up forever
Careful, that’s another forum that displays their models that way
Actually TC this one is already on the shelf.

The canopy is indeed gappy AF but as you point out, more well established brands selling to international customers still have their own problems.
This was $75 shipped, compared to $145 shipped for a HM Su-25, I think we can cut good ol Terribo () some slack. If they were to add a detailed probe and fix the gaps, expect to pay upwards of $120 and would you do that for such a small model of a pretty average performing aircraft? No I didn’t think so

Plus 3 feet rule
hmm... so you're not willing to pay for more details and gap fixes from terebo? a premium terebo perhaps?
