mike romeo Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Box art makes it look like the windscreen is depicted with the correct horizontal angle to the base . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bradley Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 ...but highly unlikely they corrected the moulds...... Still, we can live in hope! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Maybe the box art is a copy from an actual photo,hence the correct sit of the canopy.The mistake in the model is still there i suspect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ththtttu7 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Their box art for the F1 and NF21 are pretty good renditions of the type. Its a shame that whoever did the paintings, didn't do the mould tool drawings aswell! Edited May 1, 2015 by David A Collins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazinio Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Just seen it for the first time on UK EBAY and bought one. Not too bothered if it isn't super accurate after we might not get another mainstream IM kit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to see one of these built OOB with no aftermarket corrections, then placed next to the Classic Airframes kit that I have modified. Yes, there are dimensional and detail differences between the two, but I'd like to see how obvious/or not they are to the observer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
