Quote from: Wardukw on January 28, 2025, 09:27:22 PMWell I found a 48th Lindberg Cutless for sale ..and here and one from the US ..the US price $17.99 and in stock ..the one here and this proves beyond shadow of a doubt that this country lives in its own dream land..$174  :o  :o  :o
FFS!!!

Is someone smoking crack? Stupid to ask that price and stupid if someone does!
Mate I don't think crack was anywhere near what these guys were smoking..it's something far more powerful 😳.
I know what it is ..if anything is even close to rare here they seem to think they can charge the earth and then some for it  :banghead:
It's pathetic bud.

Tell him it's only a piece of plastic and watch him lose it!
No point ...it's a company here and in Aus called Dick Smith...get this ..used to be a electronics store  :o
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

That Lindberg Cutlass is an F7U-1 and not exactly the world's best kit either.

But Draw Decals do a magic Blue Angels decal sheet for it.  ;D
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

Sounds like I need to break out the old Crazy Eddie (a former US electronics retailer that was predominantly located in the NYC tri-state) tag line: His prices are INSANE!

This quote from 'The Castle' seems most appropriate:

The guy obviously has a pristine example
of the original release of the kit.

How big is 1/60th scale compared to 48th ?
I've found one here for sale online ..brand new and being such a odd ball scale it's got me wondering what I might have that'll fit it 🤔
Still keeping my eyes open for a 48th Cutless tho 👀  ;D

About halfway between 48 and 72d
1/48 = ~10" wingspan
1/60 = ~8" wingspan
1/72 = ~6.5" wingspan

Well ain't that annoying Scooter mate ..so everything plane I have is either to big or too small 😆
Guess I could mutate it into 48th scale ⚖️ 😏 😳

Can you squeeze a 48th pilot into the cockpit?

Matey with enough smashing and bashing I'd find one which will fit 😉
Being this is a very old plane getting a older type cockpit will be easier ..much smaller than a modern one so less room to fill up  :thumbsup:
Looking at the profile of this plane it definitely needs mods in my mind ..made longer to slim the stumpy looking side profile out ..longer wings of course 😆
..thinking possible canards too ...but that's a maybe right now 🤔

The Cutlass has always reminded me of a sawn off Sea Vixen.

Yeah I'd agree with ya on that Lee ...like it stopped to fast and squished itself up abit...I intend to fix that ...wouldn't mind lowering the canopy too..taking out the hump behind it to make it sleeker .

But that's what an F7U-1 is like, without the hump.

Now that I didn't know Kit ...admittedly I've never seen one and wouldn't know what i was looking at  ;D
Hmmm ...1/60th scale model with a 1/48th afterburner exhaust = massive stonking engine  :wacko:  :wacko:

Here you go, first the early one.



Then the later 'improved' one.....
