baldwin8 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 With the exception of a couple of airframes, all were painted in the same scheme. Mr Color has made it easier with these colours, the lightest grey being for the radome. They package these as a set too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldwin8 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 My DXM decals arrived yesterday and look to be an outstanding addition to this kit, a small correction decal was included. The small stencils are included but only enough for one aircraft and are printed by Cartograf. The Finemolds decals will likely be the standard well printed but thick style we have become accustomed to. I am not sure if DXM do reprints so if your heart is set on them don't wait too long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 I too have ordered from their web site with no hassles. Blackbirdmodels also stock their decals, but not that many at the moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, that was my thought too; however, not so hard to replace with some fine stretched sprue (that's my plan anyway) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilwell Posted January 18, 2022 Author Share Posted January 18, 2022 Looking at HLJ, it appears that they are now expecting the F-2A kit to be released in May 2022 rather than February. Hobby Search (1999.co.jp) likewise. Jonathan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldwin8 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Although HLJ and HobbySearch now show release is May 2022, nothing is mentioned elsewhere of the change from Feb. Here is the latest mould update. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
