  2. New wings for the Skytrex Gotha

    [QUOTE=tonyc206;48086]When I replicated the metal wings for my bombers in plastic I noticed that the Skytrex Gotha wings are not accurate. The upper wing shape is wrong. The rake angle is too great and it should not continue to the centre to form a point as it does (at least not on the drawings I have).

  3. Comparing the 'Brisfits' kits

    [QUOTE=tonyc206;47406]So, in the same way as I did with the AEG G.IV's. I bought 3 Bristol Fighters to compare the different kit makers.

  4. Comparing AEG G.IV's

    [QUOTE=tonyc206;46923]Well as I promised last year! Here are the AEG G.IV kits from Skytrex, Reviresco and SRAM

    First up is Skytrex

    [IMG]http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8765&d=1296584862[/IMG]

    Nice clean molding with no holes or damage. Detail is a little on the heavy side as expected. I like the nice one piece fuselage with the tail already attached.

    Next is SRAM
