Title: What will I have to build this year?
Post by: draken35 on July 26, 2012, 08:38:43 PM

Dear friends,

I have to build some kits for review and to finish some other ones that I have begun, but before the end of the year I think I can start a new build from my stash...

Problem is that actually there are more than one kit that is asking me to be build!!!

So, as Scott did some times ago, I wish to ask your opinion: from the list below, what is the kit I have to build in priority?

- Special Hobby 1/32: Brewster Buffalo (Belgium)
- Italeri 1/48: Spitfire MK XVIe (349 Belgian Sqn; aircraft of Raymond Lallemant "GE+D")
- PJ Productions 1/48: Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet (Belgium) - RESIN KIT!
- Hasegawa "Egg Plane": P-51D Mustang (with cockpit detail set from RetrokiT)
- Italeri 1/48: Republic F-84F Thunderstreak (Belgium)
- Special Hobby 1/72: Ki-43 Oscar (France)
- Revell 1/72: F4U-5 Corsair (San Salvador)
- Tamiya 1/72: F-51D Mustang (Guatemala)
- Azur 1/72: Bloch MB 152 (France)
- Tamiya 1/48: Dewoitine 520 (France)

As you can see, no WWI actually...  ;)

Thank you for your help!

Aaaaaaahhhhh..... what a challenge!!! Must say that all subjects are so nice that any you choose is great! Maybe to skip resin and start with something relaxing and this is for sure Mustang!!!

Why Mustang? Everybody builds Mustangs!! Why not a rarer type like Dewoitine D.520?
Tamiya's 1/48 scale kit is of very high quality and this would mean an excellent model just built from the box!

I'm in agreement with Nico--either the D.520 or MB 152 would be great!

To build a French aircraft would be great indeed. Of course, most relaxing is the Tamiya kit; Azur will ask for some additional work - But that can be funny too!

Tamiya 1/72 F-51D Mustang

OK, now we can eliminate 8 of the 10 possibilities...

What remains is:

Dewoitine 520 (Tamiya 1/48)
Bloch 152 (Azur 1/72)

Your votes, please... ;)

I voted for the Alpha Jet because I think that is a cool plane, and aside from the PJ kit there are not any decent kits of this in 48th scale!

I don't know the Parts PE set, but the D.520 is a dream to build, absolutely hassle-free... I've built mine using the Eduard Zoom set and that was it... Take a look at my Facebook album... :-ok
