John R Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have just seen one of these listed on Ebay accompanied by a description that makes it sound wonderful. It stated that it was recent issue and made me wonder if it had been retooled. However the box looks exactly like the old one and having built one of the originals I can assure you that it is not an easy build although the end result may be accurate. Has a new version been released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 The Amodel Tu-128 is the worst kit I have ever made - and I've done a few Amodels in my time. The breakdown of the parts around the intakes and forward fuselage is a nightmare to get fitting properly. I would invest heavily in shares of companies that make plastic filler. Still, after a bit of pain, it makes up OK and even LOOKS like a Fiddler..... I'm such a masochist, I even made the Amodel Tu-128U Pelican..... They're do-able - but expect a lot of pain. Ken PS I have vague memories of tales of the moulds being broken - so maybe it was partially re-tooled - but don't quote me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e8n2 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Trumpeter is supposed to be bringing out a new Fiddler kit so hopefully something more easily buildable will be here within the next few years. Still waiting for their 72nd MiG 19. Later, Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
