Sabrejet Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Looks very nice - deserves to do well and great to see something interesting in a market flooded with Spitfires, P-51s, F-14s and similarly excessively covered types. I think I am going to buy one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to do a few of the O-2 versions too. Based on the Reims FTB-337G, it is not the same as the Cessna O-2 version. I hope they do their homework and add all the new parts including new fuselage for the Lynx version. Also please have better luck than I have had in finding shots for a proper interior.

sinistervampire319 Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Well that is disappointing. Fuselage is wrong for the Reims Lynx. Reused the O-2 fuselage parts. Wrong wingtips. Can't tell if they included them on the new tail parts tree. Looks like they forgot the rear engine's exhaust deflector. Don't see much for the interior. No ammo boxes and feed system to the guns. No gunsight. Hard to tell on the rest. Need to see the instructions. I'd still get it probably though. Even though the fuselage would be a pain to modify.

dcrfan Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It does look like there are new wingtips and a new bulged pilots window. Anyone received this kit yet? I ordered it in late September but still no sign of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone received this kit yet? I ordered it in late September but still no sign of it. Had another look at the sprues and I see now what they did for the back windows. Still the O-2 windows but they added the outlines for the 337 windows. This why I want to see the instructions for this. Are these the new wingtips? I see now the new outlined windows.
