LT Motta Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Werner, Here you go... I am talking to Italians modelers (salut to google translator!) whom have built some AMX 1/48 Warrior models. They warning me that both (Warrior or Duarte models) are not correct... specially when we talk about panel lines and you can't compare them with the blueprints on internet because they are wrong too! You have to check for pictures of the real bird... But they are good kits even they are the only option in 1/48th scale. I will try to fix them as much as I can but I won't die trying... Even I'm not a "black belt" modeller and this is my first resin kit I'm confident that I can do a nice work here.
