WOW.  It's all prepainted like that?  It's beautiful, but it seems like
cheating to me.

I don't think it's prepainted.  Where would be the fun in that?  But the
detail is just wonderful.

If I were tempted to build a 1/48 S-3, I could pay £12.99 for a Paragon
wingfold set, £14.75 for a Paragon flap and slats set, £22.99 for a Goffy
Models wheel and weapons bay set and £34.50 for the Goffy cockpit set. A
total of £85.23 on aftermarket parts for a £17.99 kit!  And I *am* tempted!
;-)

It's not prepainted.  It's a resin kit that you have to assemble and paint
to get it to look like that.

Almost enough to tempt me to get the ESCI/Italeri kit.

Are there still 1/48 scale decals available for the aircraft George W landed
on the carrier?  This would be a great aircraft for my collection, great
next to George Senior's Avenger.

    Good grief indeed!  Too bad the AMT/Esci canopy is too dark to let that
detail be seen...

Nawwwww....

Not impressed.

They neglected to include the Pilot Pens and Post-It notes used by the
back-seaters.  I'll STILL have to resin cast the missing detail set
items on my own, AGAIN!!!!
