    Good/bad news for fantan fans!

     

    It appears trumpeter have quietly updated their q-5c kit with the correct wing tank mounts from their other fantan kits! :D

     

    the tanks themselves are still a suspect, but you dont have to make your own wing mounts anymore!!

     

    of course if your like me amd bought a whole lot of the early releases.....bugger!

     

     

    It would be nice if  Trumpeter did one in 1/48th scale!  Trumpeter, are you reading this?

    OK.............I've read and heard enough............and now I have the added benefit of holding the kit in my hands.....direct from Russia for circa 35 Euros.

     

    I have also spent more than enough time working with and flying in Hinds to know the subject and that I like this new kit. Sure, it comes in a box that is probably 1/3 bigger than it needs to be, the fuselage could do with the odd rivet or two and one or two modellers would probably like a little bit more detail in the cockpit but, personally, I think it's a great kit and great value for money. I have little doubt that the 'usual suspects' among the aftermarket fraternity will join Quinta (who have very quick off the mark) and produce some very nice resin and photo-etched goodies in the fullness of time for those with AMS but for the rest, you can buy with confidence !.

     

    For my money, the only companies that could surpass the level of detail and overall quality of this kit would be Avantgarde, Great Wall Hobby, Kinetic or Tamiya and I doubt that any of these will tackle this subject anytime soon given that Zvedza have now released their kit.  

     

    Well Done, Zvedza ! 

    Kittyhawk is doing one in 1/48th scale.
