Special Hobby 1:72 Digby Mk.I Bolos in Canadian Service

[Radzy]

Hello everybody,

After long struggle Bolo... I mean Digby is finally finished

I can say only one thing - this is a kit for experienced modellers and you should think twice before grabbing it from shelf (well... I should've thinked ten times it would save me few nerves connections ), because it consists all the flaws of shortrun series of smaller companies - misleading instructions, flaws of material (ejector pins, flashes and other stuff), misplaced parts ...

But at the end after all this struggle I'm happy, not only because I can finally get rid of her from the workbench, but... because the result is really decent!

So here they come, pics of finished U-boat hunter from 10th RCAF Squadron.























and at the end comparison of this kit to 1:72 Hobby Boss Messerschmitt Bf-109:



So that's it, please let me know what you think

Cheers,
Radek
