Funny but when I look on line I see more photos showing it with it gear down !

Yes you do but again the vast majority of those photos are taken several decades after the end of the war. That does make a difference. If you are depicting a war era aircraft, up is more likely unless they have been lowered for maintenance. If you want to justify not gettting one because it does not fit with the majority of modern warbird shots you see on the web, you certainly should suit youself but either way is correct and for the war period, up is the better choice.

Agree a blue nose version would sell well

Would snap up Preddy's 'Cripes a' Mighty' of the 352nd FG in a flash. I just like those Blue-Nosed B******* of Bodney.:wink2: -- Al

Perfect answer - better than I explained it. I hope this clears things up.

I've got that one from Hobby Master in 1:48 scale diecast with moving parts. It is a spectacular model. If K&C produce Cripes, I couldn't blame you for jumping at it.

All the WW2 photos show it with it down as well , so every model kit and die cast model made is wrong as well then

Yes - the wheel cover on the Hobby Master can be down or up - it is an option.

Found this good photo of a WW2 mustang

The K&C mustang is a nice plane and if they do a RAF version are buy one

Frankly I am not sure you read anything I posted on this. So just to be specific, they could be left up or placed down. Thus, IT IS NOT WRONG TO SHOW THEM DOWN OR TO SHOW THEM UP. No, all WWII photos do not show them down.

Yes, you can easily find post war photos with them up as well.

I hope I have been clear but it is probably a waste of time.

The wing intakes give it away, it's a Hawker Sea Fury, would make a nice model in 1/30 scale.

Neil, what was I thinking, it's a Firefly, the only defence I can provide for that glaring ID error is that I'll offically be a Senior Citizen next year {eek3} ^&grin
