Habu12 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 OOB with SSI decals. So, definitely not Tamiya quality, but it’s very nice and good value. The only shape issues I encountered were the main gear doors. They are flat, with no contour. You’d have a time getting them to fit for an inflight model. Fit was excellent all around. No major issues. The wings have no rivet detail, so it’s coreect for a newer bird with hadn’t had its coating worn and ablated yet. But also no rivet detail on the flaps whatsoever. Cockpit detail is good, but strangely NO effort was made to add a harness. No parts, no decals. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Looks real good 👍 ... I'm guessing lack of harness is because revell sees all the A/M and figured why bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habu12 Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Welp, looks like this may soon be an extinct kit: http://www.illinoishomepage.net/news/local-news/hobbico-files-for-bankruptcy/909851835 Hobbico filing for bankruptcy is a huge deal for the hobby.

Jackson Duvalier Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Really nice build, Habu. This is the first of the Revell D-5s I've seen completed.

My thought precisely but I still haven't figured out why separate injection-molded harness details a la Fine Molds haven't made it into production kits yet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
