Silver Fox Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 This is my latest effort built really as a comparison between this and the Monogram, Heller and Kinetic/Italeri kits. I think the general shape is very good but the detail parts are very bland. It builds well the only thing I would change is to get some metal nose gear as the kits part is prototypically fragile. The decals are poor, they adhere well and are very thin but they are the wrong colors for USAF machines which is a shame as they are colorful units and include the UK based 20th FBW. I used the latest Superscale sheet to depict an aircraft of the 509th FBS, which went on really nicely. Thanks for looking. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Thanks chaps,for the kind words. Its the Hobbyboss kit Tony, it doesn't seem to have been very popular, I struggled to find one and I haven't seen one built. Seadog, the dark green doesn't suprise me if the kit decals are for a camouflaged aircraft, but it is a nightmare colour ito work with f you want NMF.
