GreenDragon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Kinda sad the Happy Hooligans are flying Learjets now. But I do like Lear 35's! Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTON Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 OOH she glides like a smooth bird. Pretty. NOICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelglue Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Looks like there are quite a few lumps and bumps that go unused. Cool, but I think this might be a long shot to end up in my stash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenDragon Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Some are for the JMSDF U-36A version. Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Looks like the parts for a Finnish one might be in there. It also looks like Mach2 might have stepped up their decal and molding quality too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philp Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Kinda sad the Happy Hooligans are flying Learjets now. But I do like Lear 35's! Paul Harrison At least they still get to fly jets. My favorite guard unit (MTANG) get to turn in their Eagles for C-130s. I don't see the canopy in the pics. Clear parts seem to be one of their banes so anyone know how the clear is in this kit? I would love a 72nd Lear so hoping this kit is a new leaf for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 It also looks like Mach2 might have stepped up their decal and molding quality too. That was my first thought too ! Those sprue shots seem to show a somewhat better kit compared to what Mach 2 offered in the past. I hope so as their subjects are always very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev67 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 This may help in showing the positions of the aerials from my Rareplanes kit, although correct on this version, other Learjets may have a different arrangement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyp Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Would love a Lear45 or something more modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I've wanted a Learjet in 72nd for a while now. But... this is Mach 2 we're talking about here: poor quality moulding, crappy clear parts, and well overpriced. So... I'll be to waiting to hear the build-up reviews before I'd bite on this one.

Colin1967 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Well, I took the plunge and have ordered the Argentine one from the big H. I too think the molds look better than some of their other offerings, so, I decided to support Mach2 and buy a copy.

philp Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Been waiting to see how the canopy looks before I bite. Always loved the look of the Lear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
