Hunting Percival P. 66 Pembroke C. Mk. 54

Post by LyleW »

in 1/72 scale. One in 1/48 would be better. I like the lines of this one - which is why I bought it. Kit is from Special Hobby

Sprues. No huge amounts of detail in scribing, and so on..

Not bad. Parts are not hyper super ultra detailed as in some Dragon tank kits ( :ballbat: ) but it looks like a very buildable kit. Nice lines of a after WWII aircraft. What decal scheme are you going to do?

Scheme? it comes with decals for the German and I think a Belgian craft. May do one side in the German and the other in the Belgian.....or not.

Cor - a proper British aircraft! Good score Lyle.

Doesn't look a bad kit at all actually.

looks like a typical special hobby kit, nice parts and a problem with the fit, but in the end a good model of a seldom aircraft

here some pic´s from Brüssel

You are too kind. Not sure when it will happen, though. More C-46, please! :popcorn:
