gioca Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 considering the previous announced CR32, P39, P36, Siai206 ... well, I'm a little bit disappointed by this ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRK4m Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Which tool? Heller or Fly? Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I gather that KP is now regarded as the "lead" brand in the AZ family, so I'd expect it to be a new tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or question is, if and which model was used as a base to prepare a master for new model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wooksta V2.0 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Does it matter? The old Heller kit holds up well for it's age, despite the wheels, and the raised panel lines on the rear fuselage are more prototypical of the real thing as they were indeed overlapping which assisted the airflow. Plus the KP kit should be around the same price as the old Heller one but cheaper than the Fly one. I'd be surprised if KP don't go with a post war Czech Air Force one as a decal option as they did fly a few. I'd like them to do an RAF option as we used quite a few for communication in Germany after the war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Callahan Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I suspected strongly that it might be the Fly plastic (which I've never seen in person). I think I still have some aftermarket decals for civilian 108s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, two posts above charlie_c67 said that. Edited December 25, 2016 by Botan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
