A nice release as the individual kits are very, very hard to find and Fujimi is the only alternative other than the established Academy standard XIVc.

 

That said I don't need three XIV's even if they only work out at around £9 each so would be nice if they could also release them again individually once the rush for this 3 kit combo has subsided.

 

Regards

Colin.

 

ps. any chance they might do a XII as well at some point?

Looks like a great multi-kit. This review mentions incorrect instructions. Is it the same for the 3 in 1 kit or are the instructions correct there?

The Xtrakit mk XII had a very Sword-ish feel to it so I assumed they made the moulds. If so they'd definitely benefit from releasing it under their own label.

The 3 in 1 option would certainly solve the conundrum of which one to buy!

Very happy with the decal options in the high-back XIV. 

Both the Burgwal 322 Sqn and the 402 (RCAF) Sqn ones are very welcome.
