colin Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Really. just googled and there seems to be ones which look as the kits, fully loaded, and others with nothing slung underneath which look higher on the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveJL Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Looks good. I just hope the fit is a marked improvement over their earlier offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReccePhreak Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I may have to save up for one, if they don't do a "Banshee" on it. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzaob Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 as mentioned above, if a bit of work on the lower windscreen / alteration of the struts is it, then a massive improvement...cannot wait to see the first build review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIO Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 The side wind screen will not put me off this one... I would expect for the experts though to comment on the correct (or not) version representation... (For now, definitely in my shopping list!)

DIO Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I think it is important to compare against exactly the same type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rui Silva Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hi all, It's plain to see the difference in the windscreen sidepanels shape, oddly the box-art depicts this correctly; about the ground stance one can see that the actual nosewheel fork is about 70º from the vertical but the kit's fork is about 45º! How can such glaring errors pass all the checks is something I can hardly understand. I hope this kit will build up nicely or I will pass buying it.

What I don't understand is how the kit has inaccuracies that the CAD it was based on didn't have. The angle of the wheel fork was ok on the CAD too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvd Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 If these are the big problems then I dont understand the problem the canopy is easy fixed when one mask it and the landing gear is also a easy fix. We as modeleres should be a happy gang looking at what is being released the last couple of years. . We should also stop complaining and start building instead of complaining about the kits. I mean even brands as tamiya and the likes will not make THE PERFECT model. So please enjoy the hobby and be happy that there are still companies that bring us the models we can enjoy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So please enjoy the hobby and be happy that there are still companies that bring us the models we can enjoy Hi robvd, When I buy a model kit I'm paying for it so I have every right to want the best possible product for my money. And if we, as customers and modellers, do not point out these and other mistakes progress will never happen so it's not a case of simply "enjoy the hobby and be happy". Are the faults easily fixable? So much the better but even better would be not have anything to fix. I hope this model builds nicely as I want one in my Soviet Air Forces collection.

Well compared to the other kits of this type, this will probably become the 'best product'. I'm still apprehensive about how the fit will be, but, something about the test build suggests a slightly better fitting Kitty Hawk kit than usual.

Dudikoff Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Looks good enough for me to ignore that I have an OEZ kit in my stash already together with a Pavla cockpit. Good thing I didn't spring for the CE wings/flaps set. Edited January 20, 2017 by Dudikoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 really looking forward to building one of these! no major issues it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Looks good on the sprues, just hope it goes together well. Not liking the look of the fuel tanks, some replacements will be required I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Looking at Mike's review the windscreen on the review sample appears to have rounded corners, not as pronounced as the CAD's but more so than the test shot build to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
