fightersweep Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 That's about the price of the 1/72 kit isn't it? Bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomohawk Kid Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 The 1/72 S&M kit is £15 so around the twenty nicker mark is great value for the quarter scale version. Thomo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patjb Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 I saw one on sale at the Milton Keynes show on Sunday, £26 ish. It looked like the trader only had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Julien lifted one, his first comment was it needs a smaller box! He might put up a review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yes I picked one up Sunday from a trader for £26. Well worth the money, typical Mikromir plastic, it does seem to rattle around in a much too large box. Not an issue though. Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invidia Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Got mine yesterday, very nice kit. Found a problem.... the kit provides 2 part pe15, rudder pedals, you need 4!!! I have just spent 5 minuets looking for them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homebee Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Take care. Canopy fit is b......t . 🤬 Would be very interested to see how you assemble the canopy. The windscreen shape (curve) doesn't fit with the shape of the two (yes two... ) parts composing the canopy. Did MikroMir ever test built or test fit the kit before placing it on the market? I do have some reservations. 🤨 The clear parts mould has to be redesigned to say the least. V.P. Edited May 28, 2018 by Homebee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Aftermarket for a MikroMir kit? It could be a long wait. To my deep regret I can only advise modellers not purchasing this kit until MikroMir decides to provide a new and corrected clear sprue. V.P.

Work In Progress Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The cross section of the windscreen arch is a lot better shaped than the front arch of the sliding section. But that canopy is weirdly engineered in its breakdown, as well as its shape. I can't think of any good reason to make it three piece in that format. It should have been either one piece or windscreen / sliding section /fixed rear section. However, the sliding section would always need to be thinner than injection moulding can manage, in order to fit over the fixed rear section in the open configuration. What I'd do with that is just saw the back fixed section off, carve a new limewood sliding section and crash-mould it in clear sheet. But yes, for those who don;t want to make their own components it's a real shame they didn't do a standard one-piece fixed canopy, or vac-form it.

We will completely remake these details. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlamgat9 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I hope you will find a way to supply replacements to those of us who have already bought the kit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
