The Pegasus kit is a copy of a cmk one. I have both.

I'm surprised if Chris Gannon did that.

Ooh! Nice!! 

It is indeed! The kit looks great in the box, too. Resin and PE bits, nice decals. and it's not an expensive kit for what you get. Obviously, assembly will show if it's as good as it looks but, i don't care cause the Firebrand comes into my top 5 fighters list with a radial engine. I actually put the Firebrand in the same league as the Goodyear F2G Corsair when it comes to looks and both are similar and i find it hard to choose one of the two... 

Quote from: The Wooksta! on February 28, 2023, 04:50:37 AMMy pair were the mk 4 and the earlier scheme TF5. TBH, I'd like that boxing, if only for the decals but Valom rarely get them right.

Lee, i won't be using most of the decals, if you want them, they're yours. 



The only ones i'd like to keep are just the stencils. those would be number 3,4,5,6,,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16. I'll probably end up building this as a Portuguese Naval Aviation bird, flying off a WWII surplus carrier bought after the war's end. I normally use the kit's decals sheet for stencils and change the country's markings only so that's why i'd like to keep the numbers i've mentioned.
Let me know if you want them like that and i'll send them your way.

If Lee doesn't take them I will 

Gondor

That sheet does look to be better than Valom's usual standard - the ones in the Brigands and Valetta just looked wrong

I'm a greedy, self centred individual but trying to be better. I'd happily halve the sheet with Gondor, if that's okay?

TBH,  other than the ancient Airmodel vacform, I think  I have at least one of each Firebrand V kit released.  I was looking at a Rareplanes one the other day and considering building it at some point this year.

Ta Lee, not worried about the roundels as I have sheets of post war ones I can use.

Gondor

I was thinking you get one serial option, I get the other kind of split.

Wonder how much of a recursive loop can be built up by repeat quotes?

That's perfectly fine with me, just decide which ones each of you want and i'll cut'em up and send'em out.

This is the 9th quote of the OP... that does make me wonder what's the comment with the most repeated quotes on this forum...

Never underestimate absolute power. 

In other news:

I got my two latest Evilbay procurements in the mail yesterday. An ICM MiG-25RBF that I've desired since reading that the Russians had a squadron of those in the 16th Air Army at the fall of the wall. In my Alternative History Europe, the Germans audaciously incorporates the Russian leftovers at the latter's withdrawal, so it'll most likely turn out in crosses.

I also bought this

It's been on my radar for quite some time, but they're ridiculously expensive and I wanted to make it Spanish - and not a boomtanker - so I never really took the plunge.
And while this was expensive indeed (I payed ca £70), it had this included in the deal:

From eBay today

1 x 1/72 Revell 04854 F-101B Voodoo with a mix of decals in the box, some from the kit and some from Super Scale International Inc 72-306 but it will probably be done as something else.

That sheet does look to be better than Valom's usual standard - the ones in the Brigands and Valetta just looked wrong

I'm a greedy, self centred individual but trying to be better. I'd happily halve the sheet with Gondor, if that's okay?

TBH,  other than the ancient Airmodel vacform, I think  I have at least one of each Firebrand V kit released.  I was looking at a Rareplanes one the other day and considering building it at some point this year.

Ta Lee, not worried about the roundels as I have sheets of post war ones I can use.

Gondor

I was thinking you get one serial option, I get the other kind of split.

Wonder how much of a recursive loop can be built up by repeat quotes?

That's perfectly fine with me, just decide which ones each of you want and i'll cut'em up and send'em out.

This is the 9th quote of the OP... that does make me wonder what's the comment with the most repeated quotes on this forum... 

Let's go for more!

Do you think that's wise?

What's the worse that could happen - a mention in Chris' little Black Book? 

Should you really poke a sleeping dragon?

Never underestimate absolute power. 

You're all mad, you know!

Yes........  Yes we are.

Ooh! Nice!! 

It is indeed! The kit looks great in the box, too. Resin and PE bits, nice decals. and it's not an expensive kit for what you get. Obviously, assembly will show if it's as good as it looks but, i don't care cause the Firebrand comes into my top 5 fighters list with a radial engine. I actually put the Firebrand in the same league as the Goodyear F2G Corsair when it comes to looks and both are similar and i find it hard to choose one of the two... 

Quote from: The Wooksta! on February 28, 2023, 04:50:37 AMMy pair were the mk 4 and the earlier scheme TF5. TBH, I'd like that boxing, if only for the decals but Valom rarely get them right.

Lee, i won't be using most of the decals, if you want them, they're yours. 



The only ones i'd like to keep are just the stencils. those would be number 3,4,5,6,,8,9,10,12,13,14,15,16. I'll probably end up building this as a Portuguese Naval Aviation bird, flying off a WWII surplus carrier bought after the war's end. I normally use the kit's decals sheet for stencils and change the country's markings only so that's why i'd like to keep the numbers i've mentioned.
Let me know if you want them like that and i'll send them your way.

If Lee doesn't take them I will

The missing sprue contains the back plate of the hull, the track guards and some detail parts.  Nothing that cannot be scratchbuilt or kitbashed.
