a bit more on the wells
the Tamiya 1/72 and the WSW 1/48 conversion does not agree on the layout of the wheelwells
I have been checking the whitemetal legs, and they are actually rather nice. I will have to learn a new skill – yeah! Or just slaughter a Judy! (perhaps a resin copy – yet another new skill – yeah!) Or scratchbuild the lot?
Here’s a look at the different parts; first a look at the white metal leg laid out on the Seiran wing.
It would clearly fit nicely.
I got hold of a Judy from my very local hobbyshop next door, and here it is compared with the Seiran
Fits like a glove in the available space.
And compared with the resin Nanzan
Way off!
And how does Tamiya think it shall look in their 1/72 offering
Well, just about right I think. The way forward is still a few days away, as I am going back to work for another 7 day stint, but perhaps the evenings will have a few minutes at the bench.
Oh yes, old hands may wonder if there wasn’t another conversion by a company called Karo-AS.
Yes there was – and it is the excact same as the WSW, only reboxed but with the old decals in the box!
Do let me have your comments – all is taken into consideration!
