Old Collingwood Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #31 Posted March 2, 2020 14 hours ago, James H said: Eduard's own Spit kit range is superb, and of course, their PE and resin is designed alongside it and needs (relatively) minimal surgery to add it. As you have now abandoned this one, I'll show you an image of the Eduard Mk.VIIIHF I built with a resin cockpit etc. No engine of course, but I have built one previously, and know they fit superbly. That looks superb James. OC. mtaylor and popeye the sailor 2 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.

Mine will have the same wing as this one had - not the clipped or extended (like in the build James did above) and the pointed rudder as apposed to the more rounded one.

Where it isn't, the surgery is very basic. mtaylor, lmagna, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY. SUPPORT ORIGINAL IDEAS AND MANUFACTURERS. KEEP IT REAL!

lmagna Posted March 4, 2020 Share #41 Posted March 4, 2020 I don't know if it applies to all Eduard kits but the one I have is just a rebox of another kit under their name with added PE. The model I have is the 1/72 JRS-1 flying boat and was originally made by Sword. I don't know if it is made by anyone anymore. mtaylor, Canute, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
