Evil_Toast_RSA Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Just to clarify, before I go off and touch myself inappropriately over this news, this would be the Hasegawa kit in there and NOT the Italeri/ESCI/Eisenhower vintage kit? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eisenhower vintage - that got me thinking about building the Aurora (or was it Lindberg?) kit back during my misspent youth. Now those were the days!

Rob Bray Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Anyone got any insight on these? Are they simply the hasegawa sprues in a H2000 box? Or are they (as I really hope) the result of a bit of retooling to address the awful panel lines and detail on the belly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No usually these are re-pops in H2000 boxes, Ive not heard if any re-tooling since they started about 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The panel lines get a bit faint towards the aircraft centerline and the catapult attachment well is missing. https://www.scalespot.com/onthebench/f8e-eduard/build.htm I ordered one of these last week from Exito in Poland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Well that's it then, combined with the windshield & canopy error it's Fatally Flawed(r)(tm)(c) and completely unbuildable now... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Bob Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 You will need the Wolfpack airbrake conversion, or was that for the Monogram kit? I have one somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McArthur Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 Got my kit today. The box is huge, much larger than the box Hasegawa would typically use. The Hasegawa sprues rattle around in the box. All parts are in one bag with the clear sprue is bagged separately, but inside the big bag. Sticking with my current practice, I'm not opening bags until I start the kit.. I didn't see any damage to anything. The only difference in this kit compared to the equivalent Hasegawa kit is a small sheet of wheel and canopy paint masks. And, this kit was available at a reasonable cost ($43 including shipping from Poland to Kansas) which cannot necessarily be said about the Hasegawa kit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have the kit and won’t be buying one as I already have the Hasegawa kit in the stash but I’m guessing the other plus to this re boxing is that the decals will be much more user friendly.

The box allows to store at least 2 additional Hasegawa Cruzes in their original box... so its great! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
