FalkeEins Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 .. well that looks nice, thanks for your heads-up as usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SasaU. Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I have the main sprues already in my hands for a few days. They shows a very good level of details, nice surface and a very good fit even without any locating pins. There is quite some minor flush to remove - mostly very subtle and easy to get rid of. A bit heavoer flash on fuselage halves which is better to be sanded after gluing fuselage together. Here are some images, more in a WIP to be posted later. Edited July 3, 2016 by SasaU.

wurgerfan Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Looks promising. I really like the BU-181. I just wish someone would produce a SI-204D in 1/48th. As far as I know a i/48 version not currently available . I think MPM produced a vac with injected componets years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Just now, Paul J said: It is a nice kit. Ibought one from Freightdog Models. Sole UK importer I believe. A nice price too. Thanks for the plug Paul. I have some of these on order, unfortunately about a week too late for Telford but I do have a restock of the previous two boxing's which are now pretty much sold out.
