Caution Wake Turbulence Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well according to Wonderland Models, all their remaining kits are also unbagged with broken seals, so I guess that's just the way they come. I imagine I'll end up getting the Revell kit too, when it comes out. Hopefully it'll have a more comprehensive set of decals, with window frames etc. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMG Offramp Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 All of the Zvezda 1:144 airliner kits I bought came sprues unbagged (except the clear sprue) in a shrink wrapped box. I cannot wait to get mine! Oh, btw, Jennings, can you post additional information regarding the wing/fuselage fairing having some problems like you said? Thank you.

Actually, it reminds me of something: in Switzerland Tamiya kits are sold boxes unwrapped but all the kits I bought in Asia were shrink wrapped, maybe is it an importer thing?

JohnHull Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 mine haven't arrived yet i feel so left out! i'd take an unsealed unbagged kit right now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan P Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm holding off for Revell's before I spend any money, having seen the pics of the Zvezda parts. I suspect Revell's will be an order of magnitude better. I wonder why?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMG Offramp Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I wonder why?! Maybe is Jennings involved in the development of RoG's 747-8 kit? I really hope so, RoG would be silly not to rely on Jennings and his sizeable amount of Boeing datas. Cheers, Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
