John R Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Really nice work. When was this kit produced and is it still available? I assume it was before Musa started using resin. It looks a lot better shapewise than the ARTmodel version which I bought a few years ago and failed to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this kit was issued in 2003 Initially about 40 kits were produced before the forms wore out. My kit was from the second batch - another 50-100 kits produced around 2004, all sold out many moons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flankerman Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Excellent 'Ye-8' Pin - great build and superb finish. I have one in the stash - I was planning to make it and display it alongside a Eurofighter Typhoon and a Chinese J-10 - with the caption.... "Who is copying Whom?"

goggsy Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Top work. I’m always impressed by anyone with the balls to attempt a vacform, I’m still trying to work up the courage to tackle my Airmodel Varsity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prop&Jet are miles ahead in terms of moulding quality, almost as good as injection moulded, so apart from cutting the parts from the sheets the build was pretty straightforward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
