Paul J Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I built one from the original issue some years ago. Result was satisfying but much prepping and dry fitting needed. I quite liked it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXANTOMCAT Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Amodel always seem to do interesting aeroplanes that appeal to me - including ones that wouldnt normally appeal to me but do when I've come back from the pub. Hansajet and Falcon I'm looking at you. I've got money on a Bae 146 or HS125 next TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_W Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I have one on the shelf of doom. Typical A model, some soft details, fits where it touches and requires much filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajmm Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Oh excellent - it demands patience but this is a really nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Are there two slightly different versions of the Amodel fuselage? One with an open rear door and hatch and one with both moulded into the fuselage? Looking at various vendors on ebay some seem to show a sprue with a sealed up fuselage while the majority seem to show a fuselage with the open door and escape hatch. Thanks. BM.

ajmm Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I think that’s right. The -B and other longer wing variants have opened up fuselage. The short wing early variants are sealed. But I’d have to double check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Monday Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Thanks. That being the case, the ASW version might be the one I will go for. Probably has the most complete set of sprues of all the versions available, including what looks like underwing stores. BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
