Robertone139 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Alright alright alright, I guess the artist used the Hobbyboss kit as a reference, hence the mistakes. I an not putting the blame on him for an inaccurate rendition. Love the sky and the clouds though. I am sure his other works are just fine. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a painting, it's not the model. thanks for the comment...well he just might have some reasons for what he wrotte...i used exact data from a photograph from the same squadron and it can be seen bellow...!!!

Constructive criticism is one thing, rubbishing someone's work is another thing entirely. also thank you my friend...well he mentioned that Fujimi is the winner anyway..so propably he works for Fujimi and all the rest is crap😁...all the best!!!

Mountain goat Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) I picked one up on discount and actually it looks quite good. The retracted slats don't bother me much because I was planning to make it as a Blue Angels bird - Can anyone recommend aftermarket decals for one of these?

edgardo gil Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I believe that the great contribution of Hobbyboss is the Lade Jessie decals, do you know how is the cost in ebay of the Fujimi kit with that decals? (if you have the luck to discover someone) last time that I discover one in an auction it was sold to more than $70. I would like to know if the Hobbyboss decals are correct in shape and colors.

amos brierley Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Hello everyone. Lets hope H.B get things correct for this boxing, because, if it’s like their 1/48 scale kit it will will be a DISASTER. Ney horror show 😲. I get that some of the weapons sprue’s are generic and that a Laser Guided Bomb is not appropriate but the 48th kit took the biscuit to another level. The biggest bug bear was the closed slats, then all of the bits and pieces that make the M Mike version weren’t supplied. As always a lot of weapons was supplied, but, either were just not appropriate or never seen on the M ike version. And then the painting and decal guides were lousy……. So, before warned that the 48th kis bad , but, until we see this new boxing, let’s give it the benefit of doubt. 🤨 Mt 48th W.I.P. Thanks for looking. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Dick Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I am staying away from HB scooters, Hobby 2000 1/72 (Fujimi repops) are far superior in price and accuracy for me anyway! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I include Tiger meet or CAG birds as well. I’m one that very much prefers to do his builds in active duty line schemes. About the only showy scheme's I do like are on Reno style Racer’s. I don't fault anyone for wanting to do these scheme's I understand the attraction however they're just not that exciting too me. The one exception being Japanese aggressor’s.
