John Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Placeholder for now. I bought this kit as part of my contribution to the fantastic FROG Group Build. According to Scalemates, it was from the unreleased FROG tooling. Turns out it wasn't... Looks like a Monogram clone. Techmod decals though, so it should be nice once built.

John Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 This is hard work. The plastic has a resistance to Tamiya Extra Thin and needs Humbrol tube glue. Even then there's very little "grip", almost as if it isn't reacting to the cement. It does eventually bond very firmly. Parts fit isn't brilliant and the fuselage halves seem to be slightly different sizes, leading to a lot of fettling and smoothing.

John Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 This one's in the recycling, I'm afraid. It's fighting too hard and I don't think the result will be worth the effort. J 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Shame John, but as you say, more trouble than it's worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
