Parts are made so that at least different engine covers and Erla-canopy can be expected in the future.

Do you imagine Tamiya releasing a G-6AS in 48 and 72?

It would be lovely!

 

With current fuselage mouldings I'd bet G-14 without AS-engine.

Was going to comment they'd need to retool the fuselage to make room for the taller tail, but I remembered I have Hartmann's 109G-14, and that it has a short tail.

Drooling 🙂 . I believe I´m not the only one to have leftover AZmodel high tails and Erlas to craft a late model G-6 or -14 out of these. With the canopy in open position there shouldn´t be any problems apart from removing the front part from the AZm part and the tail follows nearly the same parting line... maybe a bit of shimming or filing away, and a piece of plastic in the lower front edge, but... I can´t wait to get my hands on these! V-P

Got this kit the other day, and I just noticed something funny about the boxart :)

Hi,

 

Looks like that at least J-705 had the tall tail as well as J-706 but the latter had also an Erla-haube! So this version of kit will have both tail and canopy versions?

 

EDIT: Found a picture of J-706 with old style canopy :(

 

Cheers,

 

AaCee

Looks like a local rebox by a Swiss distributor. Sometimes the distributors add local decal schemes to the normal box for sale in their own country. I'd bet anything this is a case of that.

Go on, I'll bet my kids, and even if I lose I win.
