MikeC Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Those sprue maps (from memory) certainly look like the Revell kit with some extra resin bits. Edited October 20, 2021 by MikeC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's a large Polish importer that started repackaging kits from different manufacturers a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing lines up with the clocks put it away till find a resin or 3D printed replacement Without wishing to hijack this thread, I seem to recall that when the Revell kit was originally released, either the panel detail or the decals were the wrong way round, ie a mirror image of what they should be. I recommend a Yahu panel, I use them rather often these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing lines up with the clocks put it away till find a resin or 3D printed replacement You can always cut the individual instruments and then glue each one separately...It happens to me all the time in 1/72...

Max Headroom Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 The base kit is the Hasegawa Vb from the 70’s. Revell then produced a new set of ‘A’ wings to make a Va (in the 90’s?), which I believe were then also used by Hasegawa. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
