Work In Progress Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I am someone who said, and believed, the last thing the world needs is another 1/48 G-6. The engineering of that kit has changed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my thoughts, if they can keep the price down to that quoted by Hyperscale ( 3700yen=approx£25 ) but I'm not holding my breath, I will seriously consider buying one.

Biggles87 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm out then, I won't pay that much for a single engine 1/48 kit however well engineered it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiya kits are always expensive. Twenty years ago they ran about $25-$35 in the local Hobby shops. But spending $50 when the kit has no aftermarket in it gives me pause. While the review on hyperscale has been glowing, I've learned not to trust kit reviews there. I'll wait until more critical reviews come in from others who will go over all the pros and cons in a journalistic manner. I don't think I'll be buying this kit, but I have a friend who wants one, and he doesn't like the Internet, so I'll order one for him from HLJ and throw in some items I want. I paid about $28 for the Tamiya Ki-61 including shipping. I imagine that this uber kit will run about $40 shipped from Japan. Also if you wait a little while I'm sure you can find a good price online. I've seen Tamiya 1/48 F-14As selling for $80 with free shipping.

Plasto Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I’ll buy two to make up the shortfall from you boys... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plate will soon be full with the Pe-2 Peshka, a gaggle of Fw-109A-2,3,4, and a much anticipated ZM 1/48 F-4E. Then there's all the other kits I won't have time for! I'm sure Tamiya will sell many Bf109G-6s. I hope they use the money they make to invest in tooling for a P-38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIO Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Ridiculously overpriced! It is ok, I will wait for John to buy one and when he won't be building it, I will buy it half price.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonlanceHR Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Having fondled the plastic parts on SAM Publ. stand in Bratislava two weeks ago, I'll pass.

If people are going to remark that it looks wrong, I wish they would say why they think that or we could all keep finding something that ' looks wrong' in their opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlanceHR Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 As I am not yet in habit of carrying the scaled drawings and calipers whilst attending model shows ;-) I'll stand by my original statements - the beulen look off to me, and the rear fuselage looks compressed. You may or may not heed my opinion before buying the kit, your choice. Vedran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcop Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Sorry dragonlance.... ( Please, take the following with tongue in cheek...) I think that it's your brain that has been compressed and slaved to all the Eduard com...(related to their ULTIMATE Bf 109G Series.) That is the domain where they excel the most... But I think that only your wallet will be the most compressed. Madcop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonlanceHR Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 In fact, I am a huge fan of Zvezda +Vector I'll be happy to be proven wrong re: Tamiya. But until then, no buying. Vedran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABeck Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Hello, From left to right: Hasegawa Zvezda Eduard Revell Tamiya The three most left legs go with the early three bolt brake drum attachment and the spoked wheels. This configuration was only found on a small batch of early G-5s or 6 gun boats which went to JG 3. There is a Color photo in the net. Just as an Information.
