Guys...
Just had a good look at the TG FW up close this morning as the parcel force comes at the crack of dawn here. I have put a few pics of it below and, have to say that its simply superb IMO. It may have taken a few months longer than planned and, they also say, patience is a virtue so, those who have patiently waited will not be dissapointed.
For a company with a little over a years experience to do this was, seen by some, as a step too far running before you can walk I do recall someone saying but, its really a very nice set and attractively priced which, few can dispute.
I will critique when I feel its needed but, I am unable to on this aircraft I heard it had somewhat satin finish but, its not enough to make it look toyish and just enough to give it the expert modellers finish having seen a few of my mates finished articles. There are moving wheels for those who like this type of detail on their aircraft and, TG has added a number of decals to enhance the detail around the frame including around the landing gear and, the wings. I also like the crewmans foot ladder to assist getting onto the aircrafts wing.
The cockpit is nicely finished and the canopy slides easily back and forth snuggly. I even think the plain white box with small pic of the aircraft is an enhancement not a detraction from artwork as the set is what draws ones eye.
It may be a while before TG does another but, I am sure many will want him to venture into warbirds again as he has done a great job IMO.
