Benner Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have to report that this kit has been sent to the 1:48 AMARC, there was just too many things wrong with this "thing" ... everything is wrong. The landing gear was the last straw .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticWeapons Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I have to report that this kit has been sent to the 1:48 AMARC, there was just too many things wrong with this "thing" ... everything is wrong. The landing gear was the last straw .. It looks like an Alpha Jet, Benner. Keep on it! By the way, is there a Benner Fan Club? :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azor Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My respect Benner. I have the same kit and I've just dared to open the box to browse at its content but no hand of mine ever touched those...parts. It's more that a simple challenge. It's like suicidal to me... But your work is helping. Truly revealling, as it proofs that damned kit can be tamed... Keep up the good work amigo!

giles Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 ... umm, proof that it can be tamed? I basically said I gave up :) Hey Ben, I saw the Alpha Jets (and Mirage 2000s) fly by (Islamic weekend) while in Doha last Thursday. The pilots were practicing their routine for Qatar's National Day (tomorrow) flypast. We are waiting for your Alpha Jet to take off:D: Cheers, Giles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Ridpath Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Dont lose hope.. BTW I am sure I saw in a Scale Aircraft Modling mag a coupke of months ago that a new 1:48 Alpha jet is on the way next yet :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 We are waiting for your Alpha Jet to take off:D: My Alpha Jet will never take off ... it's still in my 1:48 AMARG awaiting disposal for parts :) Dont lose hope.. BTW I am sure I saw in a Scale Aircraft Modling mag a coupke of months ago that a new 1:48 Alpha jet is on the way next yet :P hmm... do you mean the 1:48 Alpha Jet from PJ Productions? http://www.hyperscale.com/2009/reviews/kit...previewbg_1.htm Unless it's a new better injection kit, I won't bother building a Qatari Alpha for my Desert Storm collection. Until then, I have this Mirage F1 to represent Qatar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dahut Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) I have the old ESCI Alpha in the stash - half started and tossed back in the box. One of the worst, to be sure. Your completion of it will inspire me. PS - The new PJ productions resin Alpha looks to be a bed of trouble all its own. In it's favor is that many of the more troublesome parts of the ESCI kit look to be molded on with the PJ kit. SO far, it seems, the score is with the Alphas: Troublesome Alpha kits 2, Modelers 0 Edited December 17, 2009 by dahut Quote Link to post Share on other sites
