dwh Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 Not new kit. Still same about 10 years old Plastyk/Chematic from Poland. Did not realise that, does that mean it is the same for the Seahawk and the Hunter also mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Not new kit. Still same about 10 years old Plastyk/Chematic from Poland. If it's a ZTS Plastyk repop then avoid at all costs and pray to the Gods of Airfix that they will do "the decent thing". Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Does this kit have it origins in the Frog kit from the early 70's? If so, I too hope Airfix will do the decent thing (and reduce the Sea Vixen to the proper scale at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Headroom Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 It's not a direct copy but having built both over the years, there is *ahem* inspiration involved. There are minor differences in the blunt end, the canopy and ZTS has engraved detail with awkwardly place sink marks right over an airbrake and horrid stickies.

Selwyn Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Strangely the Mister Craft Javelin on amerangs website is a FAW 7, not a 8/9 so is this really the chematic/plastyk kit or something new? Selwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
