Very nice, I must admit from the box it is not a bad kit. But then again I have never really been out of the box type builder. I still have a mould for a better shaped canopy when I can get around to polishing it.
More detailed photos to follow as there is a limited internet signal at work.
Interesting things to note is the option to fit a electic motor to spin the main rotor head and the option of having it fully folded. Also there are no pilots included in the kit.
Well I now have three test shots on my desk in front of me. First impressions is very good, I have the instructions but no decals but that can be easily sorted. I will post some photos this afternoon.
I have built both models and I stick with my selection of the Airfix as the better kit (also easier to build).
The Xtrakit (which Special Hobby re-boxed with additional detail parts) is pig to make especially as many came with a canopy that just simply did not fit at all and Hannants just did not care.
But I agree with Bill though that the best F/A.2 is the new Kinetic 1/48 offering.
But if you did want to make a 1/72 model then a Italeri/Esci FRS.1 kit with F/A.2 conversion might be a better option although will require extra work.
