discussion Phils next model - you decide

[PhilJ]

Hi guys,


As some of you are aware I have just started my first model since I was a child. It's been ok and very enjoyable in general (some parts I need to up my game, specifically canopy painting) mainly down to me asking for advice from you guys which has been invaluable, so I thank you for that.


As a result I though I'd run a poll for the next build, I'm torn between two but keep looking at one kit in particular so come on let's have it...


Cheers


Phil

I've gone for the 262 such a great looking plane

 

[peterairfix]

262 for me as i havn't done one yet

 

[Guest]

I've gone for the 190 because those Eduard profipack kits are a serious challenge!

Harrier gets my vote ......... Proper English Engineering type stuff.

 

[john i am]

4 great looking kits the choice was very difficult but I went for the FW 190

 

[Guest]

My favorite is the 190!


But, if this one will be your first build in years....I think is better to start with an "easy" one...my vote is for harrier!

This will be my second build, funny actually because I realise that some people have said that the eduard profipacks can be a bit tricky and sure the spitfire I'm finishing has had a lot of content but it's been ok in general. When I looked in the revell harrier box I thought blimey this one looks like it could be tricky!

Revell kits are generally pretty simple to put together, but the Eduard 190s are famed for their ill fitting parts if you make mistakes early on. However, personally, I would go for the dragon/cyber hobby 262. It fits together great, except for the engine nacelle's. You will need filler and dry fitting there

I take it you've done the 262 then John might have to pick your brains on that then

In what way?

I went for the 262, you don't see enough of them built I loved the one I built, just don't do like I did and forget the nose weight

I heard they're a bit tail heavy, what's the best way to apply the weight Adrian?

Any builds that I now do that require weight I add small fishing weights and PVA glue, there inexpensive and you can get them in sizes and weights to suit your needs. I'm sure other members will have ways they do theirs, its a case of using what works for you.

Is the 262 the hobby boss kit ?


If so it comes with a weight, the front wheel well is made of mettle
