Mike Esposito Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Yeah...those decals are incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 It could be worse. Did you see the CyberHobby 1/200 kit? I know some fool who has almost finished his 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawsonsauce Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Halfway decent would be worth it, but so far this looks pretty good to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Let the nit-picking begin! Dammit: too late 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallBlondJohn Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Some what-if decals would be nice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 That would look nice in 1RAAF "Diving Duck" markings ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 If you've not built an Armory kit before, they are definitely short run productions and need lots of filler and independent research on schemes and decals. Their Bf-109E Foreign Users boxing has a completely fictional Hungarian scheme as its cover art! However they make a lot of subjects not otherwise available in 144th and the etch parts are usually very good, so they are worth the effort.

dnl42 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 If we're good boys and girls, perhaps @CaracalModels will offer a proper set of markings for this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly7 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 I wanted to get this kit but it's $82 bucks from Hobby Search ( shipping is very expensive ). Does this sound right to you guys ?. Does anyone know a cheaper dealer, I'm in the u.s. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Or rebelalpha on eBay. He's here in SoCal. No affiliation with either of the above but a satisfied customer of both. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 obviously get the best deal you can (I know I would) but bear in mind that an XB-70 in 1/144 is still larger than a mere piddling B-58 in 1/72, so it going to be a bit more expensive than one might instinctively expect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
