John Privett Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Mart, perhaps you should have a word with Koen, who posted on the previous page. Though he had different ranges missing/duplicated, so you can't do a swap! Something similar happened a few years back, it all got sorted out after a short while...

Rich too Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 http://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=83323 The review of the Tornado in the June edition is a good example. A review specifically aimed at building a traditional kit (the emphasis on "building"!!), and with loads of colour photos - not a single one of the build process!!! Come on!!

Flanker . Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Hi All. Astute readers will remember that I engaged in a sad bout of winging last month about the quality of photos in the mag being too good. Well here we go again. The Crescent Tornado review. Here we have a KIT that we presume was built. Lee Smalley tells us about the build. Great. But where are the pictures of the build ? We have many nice flying pics of a nice plane - "ready to fly" in fact. But no build photos. Why ? Could it be because Lee had to meet up with a pro photographer at the field ? But alas did not have this facility at home ? I THINK that most of us readers would be quite happy with a few grainy shots from Lee's phone that showed the BUILD , the WOOD, The WOOD in the BOX ? Come on guys please don't slick trick your mag so high that all we have are tasty full colour high density shots of finished aircraft. I want to see hands, tools, glue, mess - you know REAL STUFF that we DO in this hobby ! Black and White would have been fine - because we would have the FANTASTIC flying shots too. We used to have just the build in grainy B&W now we have gone all the way to the other extreme ! Or am I on my own ...... again.

Allan Bowker Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Got our copy last week, made our month to have a photo of me and my son Harry in its hallowed pages, thanks! He's taken it to school to show everyone. See you all at Greenacres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smalley Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well you are correct flanker a proper cameraman takes the flying shot's and i am more than happy to take some of the build, photos but i am not sure what the quality would be like, you would have to convince the ed to decide if this is what he would like me to do, i would have to invest in some better lighting!!

Flanker . Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 That was my point Lee. I feel that as we have such super flying shots there is no problem with less quality for the others - a mix. For ME I would prefer some low grade photos if they TOLD the STORY. Due to quality worries we got none and the review was poorer for it - not to knock YOUR work me old mate, there was nowt wrong with the copy ! Prod ED boy....

Steve Houghton Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm with Flanker on this one, as one who enjoys building models rather than buying boxes. It should also be compulsory for every plan build article, or review, to include at least one photo of the radio installation. I remember from other threads that the Ed prefers not to show these, but I believe the heart of a model, and its personality, comes from the installation. I love to see what brand and type of servos are used, how the RX is mounted, how the pushrods/cables/loops are connected, how tidy (or otherwise) the radio bay is - this is where modellers can express themselves and others can learn from their efforts (good or bad). Pictures can speak a thousand words! Whenever I read a build article or review, I first 'skim read' to find any text references to these items. I long since gave up looking for the installation photos, although to be fair there have been a few more of these recently than we have had over previous years.

I'd take it back to Smiths. If they cannot find you a complete copy from another branch then you should get a refund..... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
