Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Excellent work Tim! I particularly like the paint on the Vampire and it's reminded me of the answer to a question I was pondering too!  :thumbsup:

Dear God!  You actually built one of those Forces of Valour abortions?  Braver man than me...

Cor, was that a vacform MB5 before you got at it? I didn't know anyone did one of those.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Pegasus did a 1/72 MB5 as well. I have one in the stash.

Me too, and the Skybirds 86 masterpiece, even if it does make me cross-eyed to look at it!  ;D

Falcon do/did a vacform MB5 in both 72nd and 48th.  I've the remains of the former and it's very nice.  IIRC, Airframe also did a 72nd vac.  I'm sure I've seen one or photos at least.  It was pretty crude.

Apart from both Pegasus and Skybirds 86, there are no injection 72nd kits.  Silver Cloud did one in 48th.  Magna and Planet currently do one in resin, the former being very nice.  There was also a French resin one, but it appeared to be a copy of the Pegasus kit and I've also seen a CMR one.  It's possible that Pegasus copied the CMR one. 

Finally, Final Touch also released a resin MB5 that was a copy of the Skybirds kit.  Apart from the cockpit needing grouting out, it's a beautiful little kit.
