hopkp Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Each to their own, I guess, but not for me - I find it hard to work up any interest in these things or even to see them as real planes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I built the initial release (in Revell boxing ) with Caracal decals in French colors. I really liked it, buit I do hope that they updated some parts, like the landing gear.... to the Block 5? or higher standard ..... fingers crossed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I built the original release from Skunkworks. It's a nice kit, goes together well with few problems. I've also got a 1/72 version, which makes an interesting comparison to kits of tactical jets in the same scale. Or parked next to an RQ-4. Those things are big. I just wish someone would release an injected RQ-4A (which is significantly smaller than the RQ-4B), and an MQ-4 Triton (which has a lot of OML changes, the Platz "RQ-4N" really doesn't capture the shapes). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Revell bird was looking very tail down after a few months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Revell bird was looking very tail down after a few months See the landing gear here Hinged and with a damper for higher gross weight? Not all have that feature though! French ones do photo: http://www.rodbearden.com/Berlin2016/ILA/General Atomics Block 5 MQ-9 Reaper 1.html I think the ball sensor turret also changed quite a lot since Kinetic tooled this kit! - Aftermarket to the rescue!!!!
