James K Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 What are the good, bad, indifferent and best model Sea Vixens in 1/72 scale (I don't want to do 1/48 scale) I've seen Revell, Frog, Chematic and some eastern european models which have had mixed reviews on You Tube. I's like to build the complete collection of post war 1/72 scale FAA aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempestfan Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 To make your choice easy: Revell (90s boxing) and Chematic are from the ex-Frog mould, as very likely are the East European ones (possibly including ZYS/Plastyk). The recent Revell is a reboxed Cyberhobby I think. Apart from that, IIRC there was also one from Hannant’s kit brand ( whose name I am having a very senior moment on right now) which comes from the Czech Republic. I haven’t followed the discussion in detail but apparently many people consider the CH the worst - unless I am mixing it with their Sea Venom.
