kopperhed Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I assume there is no relation to the Flying Machines kit. Regardless, sign me up! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davmarx Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 The sprue shown above looks different from the Flying Machines ones. look here for the Flying Machines' kit Ciao Davide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuger91 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Yes I have the Flyng Machine Kit The sprues are different, the canopy is vacuformed and there is a lot of resin for interior and gear bay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73north Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I totally agree - its a Plastic injection - simplified version of the Flying Machines kit - with no resin to play with , and the Flying Macjhines Kit had a vac-formed canopy if memory serves me right I think the one to go for would be from Special Hobby , frankly ( it should be far more detailed ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73north Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) I built the Special Hobby Fiat G.55 - accurate and a blank canvas for super detailing - I built it for a Commission - http://www.stormomagazine.com/ModelArticles/FIATG55/DavidWalker/FiatG55_1a.html really good fit and a nice model Edited September 19, 2019 by 73north 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks more like a scaled up clone of Sword's own 1/72 kit. Or a scaled down clone of PCM's 1/32 kit, that was also made by Sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73north Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Going to eat my words and say the Sword seems a better kit , especially with the 2 part canopy - and attention to detail The Special Hobby kit has astonished me with offering it with the dumb one part canopy , don't model companies realise you want the canopy open to view the cockpit interior nowadays ?

Graham Boak Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) No, I don't want the canopy open and ruin the lines of the aircaft. Perhaps they are aware of a slightly wider market that you suggest. OK, I don't model in 1/48 either. But I don't think that model companies are dumb to produce kits for those who like that sort of thing … Or if I did, I wouldn't be so dumb as to post the opinion on a website. Jeez, have you never heard of a razor saw? Edited November 20, 2019 by Graham Boak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phas3e Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I would rather the option of having it open without risking damage to the only canopy they supplied 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, have you never heard of a razor saw? I simply think , that the vast majority of modern kits have the cockpit either as an option of it being closed or posed open - and it saves a bit of time having to source a Vac Form Canopy from Squadron - which I have done in the past for the Hasegawa Raiden J2M 1/48 . Special Hobby - clearly took the comments posted on Facebook and have rectified the problem - provide a 2 part canopy option I posted a simple opinion based on my experience of different kits and building them in 1/48 scale - feel free to differ its not a problem for me . Anyway - I am just glad the 1/48 Re.2005 is getting some love . Edited November 22, 2019 by 73north 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
