Differences of instrument panels in Lloyd C.V

Uselink · 25 December 2009, 05:00 AM

Hi everybody!

As i have two Special Hobby kits of Lloyd C.V i searched great difference between 1/48 and 1/72 appearence of instrument panels. As i have seen the pictures of Lloyd C.V instrument panel i can say that it is almost right in 1/72 version of the kit. And simply incorrect in 1/48 scale. I attached the picture.
Please comment this strange situation. Or the 1/48 kit is special type of Lloyd or unknown one?

that really is strange, I built the 1/48 CV (I dont do 1/72) without any references, you cant find much on that plane.Its strange that the larger one is less detailed/wrong. maybe the 1/48 came out first? Then they got better references and did a better job on the 1/72? I am curious. do you have the ability to post the photo of the real control panel? so I can check out the real deal.

No, ferrets are not from the same manufacturer

1/48 photoetched is Eduard (marked as "Eduard 2002 Made in Czech Republic"). The upper text line in the 1/48 photoetched is "MPM SH 48013 Lloyd C.V". 1/72 photoetched has upper text line as SH72119 Lloyd C.V Serie 46 and lower text line as "Special Hobby 1/72 Made in Czech Republic".

I'm still trying to figure out where the ferrets get into the kit boxes, they are not very big (the boxes that is).

Happy new year everyone.
