Creepy Pete Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's Italeri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The dragonborn Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 It's Italeri. Good kit except for the annoying extra canopy frame it's easy to remove it if you are used to remove mold seams from blown canopies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaker Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeap! Italeri with new decals.(Esci moulds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvrle Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I'm gonna do a smartypants here and say it's a common misconception that the Italeri F-100D is the ESCI mould. While the two are very similar, the sprues are differently set out, and wiser heads (whom I believe based on the evidence) have concluded that the Italeri F-100 is based on the masters for the ESCI kit, but new(er) moulds. That's enough smartypants comments from me for today Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The dragonborn Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 ^ One thing about the ESCI kit is that you get the long fuel tanks(335gal.?) that is needed for a Vietnam bird, while the Italeri retool got the short ones(275gal?). Also i think that ESCI got the canopy right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
