Flyboy72nd Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Well I thought this confusion deserved some typing!!! So I e-mailed MC and asked if stores were getting their kits soon, also mentioned it was not good form to send retailers their kits but forget the folks who coughed up cash to help them! This is the reply;"it will be ready in next month,best regards"Â ???? So I replied asking if stores were getting their kits? Don't have much hope of a reply based on previous comms with them...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 So far it is not even sure when Hobby Easy has them in stock. But it would be not very clever to send it to the vendors first. It would be a good way to prevent any future preorders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundowner14 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Well, I have my sticky mitts on the kit which has come to me in Dubai, direct from Hobbyeasy. It’s decent. Some really quick observersations;  Good packaging with the internal foam protecting the wings and fuselage parts. The wing parts are really thick and substantial; can’t see them warping over time. Panel lines may be a bit heavy for some, especially as this is a stealthy aircraft. Airelons/speed brakes are posable but basic. The cockpit detail does not compare with the previously posted renders; it’s decent, the seats more than adequate unless you decide to up the upper access hatches; the etched instrument panel, which may not be seen once everything is closed up, is really well done and I particularly like the fact that the screens are in switched off mode. Need to check again, but I don’t think the wheels are weighted. I’m not sure of the accuracy of the bomb bays and rotary launchers, but they are well done. I’ve read elsewhere that the Mk.84 bombs are really poor. I don’t think they are poor Mk.84s, but they are average B.61s or B.83s... Intakes and exhausts are full length. The bays can be posed open though would need detailing. The instruction sheet does not have any colour call outs at all, apart from the main fuselage colour and listing white for bays. Otherwise the instructions are decent. Three decal options although all B-2s are listed on the sheet. Decals are Two Bobs and also appear to be decent.  Overall, it’s a weighty bit of plastic and not a bad effort. It’s not Tamiyagawa or Z-M, but it’s much better the The Italeri/Testors offering. I will be interested to see what they do with the Bone.  That is all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
