Superb. Just superb. The shading, the flawless inclusion of extra/extended parts....it's all just so good.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks so much, I'm honoured gentlemen.

How about building an R/C version Mr. Flyer? I can send some 3 views drawings if you like?  ;) ;D

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

While packing the Tri-Stang for the Crewe show tomorrow I rested it on two P-51D boxes, and suddenly realised I'd not painted the anti-glare panels forward of the windscreen!  :banghead:

So it was out with the Tamiya tape and the sharp scalpel blade and the matt black paint. Except that masking the cowlings with the props, exhausts and windscreens in place was a RIGHT pain, to say the least. And to make matters worse, half way through that terrible job I broke the centre main gear leg!  :banghead: :banghead:

If there's one thing in modelling I REALLY hate its doing repairs on broken models, and repairing one that's never been seen by anyone except me is worse!  :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I'm waiting for paint coat #1 to dry before I even think if fixing the gear leg....

The fate seems to refuse this model to be finished :angry:
This is probably because this Tri-Stang fighter will kill the Devil, so half of the World (Evil) is against you and hardly fight your skills. We support you, Kit, in this terrific battle... :cheers:

Have to agree with you there mate. They never "feel" the same again  :-\
