Are the clear parts actually clear? Can’t tell from the photo. Windscreen looks pretty good. Side windows look frosted. Hope not, I would love to get one.

Got mine through the post last week in super quick time, and I have to say, It's a lovely kit. Looking forward to getting cracking on it.

All of the transparencies in my kit look fine.

 

Cheers!

$NZ80.00 for a small kit.  Try not to sell them all too fast, I've got some saving up to do.

I’ll stick with mine from @Army_Air_Force . It looks much the same

As you'd expect it to Martin.   I missed the boat on these the first time around, not sure how much they cost now, but if they were still available I'd look at them favourably, I remember them as being pretty nice.

Thanks, fightersweep. Placing my order now.

It's interesting to see how someone else kitted it. Would be nice to see both built and next to each other.

And that may now be highly possible :). I just need to source some Senegalese markings

It arrived today! It looks very good but I am concerned about the "transparencies". 

 

Sorry, Colin @Colin @ Freightdog Models, I didnt notice you were selling them or I would have ordred from you and walked up the village to pick it up

I'll certainly be building both yours and the Combat kit. Maybe I should do a side by side WIP once I get around to them. I've done a little cleaning up on the Combat kit, and even though it has a full cockpit, cleaning up the area around the windows is scary as the resin is very thin there. It's all sturdy enough once the wing is fitted but something to be cautious of. Your approach of the solid clear resin for the glazing is way more sturdy, and being a high wing jobbie, there won't be much seen at eye level anyway.

 

Either way, I had been waiting for a Broussard for ages, then two great little kits come along almost at once. Happy days indeed!
