randypandy831 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) calling all Gustav experts. been looking into building a G-6/AS but understand the nose section shape is a bit different. I'm looking at 1/48 or 1/32 options. are there any G-6/AS sets out there in either scale? could the G-10/14 kit be a donor? thanks!

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) In 1/48th scale there is the MDC nose conversion. If you can't find it let me know. I may have an extra. May. Floyd Edited April 17, 2014 by Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlCZ Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Fujimi made it in 1/48. Review: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/98533.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The Revell G-6 kit is pretty modular, hopefully they will get around to releasing a G-6AS/-14AS in the future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Mikester Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 In 1/32 you can use the Hasegawa G-10 to build a G-6/AS with some minor mods. You'll have to source some earlier propeller blades and oil cooler and you may have to trim the oil line bulges off the lower forward end of the cowl. The G-10 kit does include the smaller wheels and wheel bulges though. Maybe re-scribe a filler hatch or two as well, don't recall off the top of my head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Fujimi made it in 1/48. Review: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/98533.aspx Stan built a G14AS shortly after he wrote that review, and it turned out very well. A little later he quit the board and sort of dropped out of sight. Wish we could get him to post over here as he had about as much knowledge as anybody I've seen on 109's and 190's. I have several Fujimi 109 kits in my stash, and there are two basic types. The one he reviewed, and one that has a separate tail section. Absolutely the best decal sheet in a kit came in one, but like most Asian decal sheets; they tend to yellow. Wish some after market guy would copy the sheet! gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGB Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hello, I think that you get the standard props to in the Hasegawa G-10 kit,but are you sure that the G-6/AS should have the earlier blades. Cheers Boris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randypandy831 Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 thanks everyone! I see hasegawa did a G-14/AS but is it even accurate? thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mhorina Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) thanks everyone! I see hasegawa did a G-14/AS but is it even accurate? thanks! Randy, I believe the Hase boxed 14AS is the G-10 kit with 14AS specific decals. I t would have the correct CWSD on the starboard side a/c both positions are there. However it only has the larger oil tank fill position. The 14AS requires the lower fill position to indicate the smaller oil tank. However you would need to reshape either/or the rear of the canopy or the fuselage section it meets as some think this area is not correct or you could just leave it as is.

Mike Horina knew hasegawa would do that. thanks for clearing that up. guess I'll try and track down the fujimi kit. Edited April 22, 2014 by randypandy831 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
