The two done up racer-style next to each other? Very tempting. |

Hmmm... No, sorry. I like the MB-5, and will probably buy the kit but I'd rather prefer to finish it in the original prototype livery. I am not against whiff stuff, but it has to be original and plausible (a MB-5 in Portuguese naval air service markings, circa 1950, would be interesting though). |

I will have to add another vote to the above - buy it; yes - build as prototype! |

The optional decals are cute, but I don't think I'll use them. The real (i.e., non-"What if") MB.5 offered a few options, the most notable being MB.4 fin, rudder, and tailplanes in its initial rollout configuration. John |

No - for exactly the reasons Graham mentioned. It would be as daft as a Qinetic schemed Spitfire XIV or a Rasperry Ripple Hurricane IIC. A whif too far...!! |

Funnily enough the last whif I built was for the same reason - a local chain of bargain shops had got hold of a pile of 21st Century Toys kits and were selling them off ridiculously cheaply, so we used club funds to buy each member a Bf109G. Not wishing to do yet another late war Luftwaffe thing I did a modern day Reno racer - chopped wingtips, P-51 type underfuselage intake, bubble canopy, squared off fin, contra prop - & painted it with candy apple red wings & tailplanes & a gold fuselage. Hand painted the name Iron Eagle in German (I forget the translation, Adler something!) in a suitable gothic font & slapped on some Nascar number decals. It really looked the part & was the most modelling fun I'd had for a long time! Think I might do some more. When's that MB5 coming out...?!

It was Yellow. Had it been standard fighter colours it would have been Medium Sea Grey, not Sky. (OK, it wasn't your question in the first place.) I've a sneaky little memory that I read once that the tailplanes were exchangeable. Which doesn't mean that they weren't painted yellow once on the aircraft, of course. |
