RCI Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 (edited) it looks like they have some quality issues on the kit, i guess at some point they realized how many people are waiting for this kit. It seems one MLG leg is short shot on almost every kit, there are bubbles in the clear windscreen, panel lines missing, PW fandisk completely off. Lets see what else we will find... ๐ anyway still happy to have this kit. All issues are only minor things so far...

I canโt say that mine is short shot anywhere or has bubbles in the glass sections and about those P&W engines the blade shape is somewhat too pronounced but the shape is there in real life. https://www.airteamimages.com/boeing-757_OO-TFC_asl-airlines_369849.html ย But in the end it is a better option then the Minicraft or Eastern Express renditions.

misterblank Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just got mine and I love it! ย Yes the fan disks are questionable (PAS kit had same issue) but everything else looks amazing. ย The molding really captures the โcharacterโ of the plane very well, especially the nose/windshield. ย After years of wrestling with the Minicraft effort, this kit is a godsend. And the price is excellent too (take note, Eastern Express). ย Canโt wait till they reach my local hobby shop so I can buy five more. ย Thank you Zvezda!!! ย Best regardsโฆDuncan ย ps. Hey Zvezda, show some love towards the 707 and 727. ย We wonโt mind! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janneman36 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 @RCIย As I said to pronounced at certain points and that does make it look funny..so nothing wrong with your eyes๐ If the outerย rounded part of the blade would be placed with a little more forward than the middle should beย less rounded ..thenย it could be more like in real life as it has three different curvatures. In the end I hope there will be an aftermarket blade from Braz.model or Metallic details....canโt say anything about the panel lines though as I didnโt look into it .. ย cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich2010 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I've had four of these delivered and am very happy with my stash additions. I can't report any issues with bubbles or short-shotting. The fan blade shape may cause concern for some - but not me. Anyway, I'd rather they had including an early shape RB211 ('C' was it) as opposed to a P&W. ย A long-awaited kit and for <ยฃ25 a piece - what a steal.

But in UK soon there's going to be an extra tariff applied, so the prices will be increasing significantly. ย Assume that EU will be the same. ย Re this kit, not a fan of Demo/Test liveries. Sure I can find a nice aftermarket option though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
