Hello Comrades

There is a big difference of scale between the GHQ HIND-D and the HIND-D of other 1/285 manufacturer.GHQ model is at least 5mm taller at the tail.

So owners of GHQ HIND-D, Do you have already remark this difference ? and do you know if GHQ HIND-D scale is correct or not ?

thank you

Hi --

I own Hinds by pretty much every manufacturer. GHQ and CinCs are both 1/285 and about the same size. [edit: yeah, now that I put them side by side, CinCs is smaller] Those models from the British manufacturers (I have Skytrex, H&R and one by someone else I can't ID) are nominally 1/300, but vary a bit from each other. Generally, they are all smaller than the equivalent 1/285 models by more than the 5% that the scale would indicate. The same applies to many other (but not all...) aircraft; I know it to be true with the various models of Tornados (I have many and was just looking at them).
