RobertF Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Well, as the title implies, I am curious to know if anyone has already seen and built this new kit. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 There is at least one in the 'Work In Progress' forum, looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Yeah, I've seen (online) a few completed already, and the comments are generally "Nice kit!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BushBrit66 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 (edited) I have one. It's nice but does not make the Hasagawa/Revell redundant, especially if you have the Daco upgrade flying surfaces. Its a bit like the Eduard vs Airfix P51. It's better, but not £15 quid better.

NorthBayKid Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 It’s a beautiful kit! I have three of them here. The only disappointment is that they didn’t include accurate CF-104 parts (skinny wheels/tyres and ECM blisters - and dare I hope - a Vinten camera pod and some US nukes?). But overall it’s a really nice kit. I like the surface detail a lot more than the old Hasegawa kit, and I don’t have to spend $75 on a Daco correction set for it.

reini Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Great kit for sure. It's not cheap (but not expensive either) - but it's very nice and detailed and builds up very well without any major issues. Only minus points for the manual - it's a cheap black & white thing (coloured one available on the website, makes me wonder why it isn't included with the kit). Also some mistakes with the paint codes. But other than that, instructions themselves are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting comparison on price! I think it can't get more expensive than Hasegawa/(Revell)/Italeri/Eduard + DACO!! If you want a later Italian or Canadian variant, then there is no other option though currently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BushBrit66 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 You can buy the wing/tank sprues from the Daco set separately. About x10. So a, little cheaper overall depending on the YenmEuro at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
