Especially interesting is the fselage width. Greetings, AaCee Good evening AcCee26 I did not take the time to compare this new kit with the Mongram one .. Today after some dry fitting tests of the wings I decided to place the lower part of the wing to the fuselage first These dry fitting tests showed that I will have to use some putty ..

TEMPESTMK5 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Good evening This morning I placed the upper parts of the wings and horizontal stabs As you can see I will have to use some putty and even some plastic card to fill the gaps (I must admit that I was expecting this ) ..

TEMPESTMK5 Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Good morning Yesterday evening I tried to fill the gaps and after all the putty was sufficient of course I will have to do some sanding today (if I have enough time ..).

Got a couple of these on order and having built the old monogram and heller H75's im looking forward to doing a comparison. I still love the Heller kit so if you have any views between the two, id greatly hear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning Hardtarget My modelling time is currently spent on finishing the SH Mirage F1CR but as soon as I have completed it I will concentrate on the H75 and I will try to do some comparison as I have both Heller Mongram and Revell kits in my stash along with the AML H75 A4 ...
