stevej60 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Hi folk's this GB caused a dilemma, Like the advert I like getting my moneys worth so looking at options down the LMS prices guided me.I've a good dozen or so built 1/48 Airfix,Revell and Tamiya 109's so looked at Eduards offering's as I only have one but all the above mentioned kits are around the twenty quid mark not far off the price of Revell's 1/32 G6 sat on the shelf.10% discount off Revell kits and I was sold. For what turned out to be £21:99 you get a lot of kit! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Was wondering what you'd bring to the party Steve and while I didn't expect this one it's come as a pleasant surprise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Very nice choice Steve, and a very nice price too! Will you be building it in the box art scheme from JG-5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mottlemaster Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Good to see something other than the Eduard and Airfix 109's and in 1/32 thats even better . Built one of these when it first came out and i remember it being not as straightforward as i would have thought but good fun and just the right size for a intresting paint job . Cheers Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hi folk's this kit spurred me on to taking down the G10 build from the ceiling and repair it so a new arial post and wire required. And first session with this kit was spent on the cockpit,paint and drybrush only. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col. Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Nice progress Steve. Sounds as if this is one of Revell's better kits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Good bit of solid construction there Steve, should make for a nicely aligned wing joint. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
