Dudikoff Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 (edited) Now, that's interesting. I expect better detail and same or even cheaper price than Trumpeter (whose latest kits seem quite expensive).

salomon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I have to doubt about that. Trumpeter/Hobby Boss doesn't make any progress in improving for their models because they know their products will be buoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assembled model will be 438mm long, 270mm wide and 97mm high. Now, let’s check its details and features.

Jagdtiger1 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 @foxmulder According to Scalemates it hasn't been released yet. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/meng-model-ls-002-chinese-j-20-stealth-fighter--1481873 HLJ say a November release and Der Sockelshop say 12th November for continental Europe. No idea about the Americas, sorry. James. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxmulder Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Maybe not, my friend said his order from China was shipped yesterday. Edited October 4, 2023 by foxmulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salomon Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 My order also from CHine isn't ship yet, if everything is ok the parcel wshould be ship next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagdtiger1 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Meng are a Chinese company, so I'd expect the ebay sellers from China to start selling it much quicker than anywhere else in the world. There's about a 4-5 month gap between Takom releasing a kit and it becoming available in UK shops. James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale Modelling News Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Hi all. I'm new here. I will be glad to share my news and observations with you. According to my information, the model began arriving at Chinese distributors on September 28th.

foxmulder Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Just received. Very reminiscent of Hasegawa F-22. Raised RAM details, inner parts engineering, and layout of parts are all great. Exhaust breakdown is similar to Great Wall Hobby Su-27/35 series with multiple parts. I am pleased, should be a fun built. Hopefully aftermarket will come up with a nice exhaust and external pylons / missiles / fuel tanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salomon Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Assembling the pieces is a pleasure. However, I am looking for the real color of the camouflage, there are so many color changes in the images on the internet. The colors recommended by Meng are not accurate.

foxmulder Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Beyond the exhausts from FAB Scale, do you guys aware of any other aftermarket for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salomon Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 This my my WIP. Everything comes along and the fit is just perfect until now. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
