KingTiger435 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Hello! I was looking forward to making this kit but unfortunately I was sorely disappointed. The kit could be good but some parts have an awkward fit, the instructions are incorrect, the decals were of horrible quality and the decal instructions were wrong! I think the worst thing though was the fact that the instructions made no mention of nose weight being needed (and a lot of it!) and therefore I had to improvise a base. Anyway, I tried to fix what I could and I'm still quite happy with the result. I don't think I'm ever buying Hobbyboss again though...

woody37 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Lovely build. I was flying that in MSFS last night by coincidence, first time on the flight sim in a while! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Bummer about the lack of front ballast but the end result is really well done, I like it a lot, the Gannet too. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Really nice results, despite your travails. I like the Gannet in the background for scale! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingTiger435 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Thanks everyone Just popping in to say Please never buy this model, it's so awful. Currently reliving the bad memories of making it as I try to fix it (it's literally falling apart due to how badly the attachments were designed) I'm so close to just chucking it in the bin... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
