Sabre Freak Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Pffft... Marketing 101-1 Set an expectation that you can exceed, then exceed it. Marketing 101-2. The Quality Clause The Quality Clause is:. Their is NOT one but 2 parts to quality. Part 1. What's in the box. Part 2, and of equal weight to Part 1. Did you get what's in the box done when you said you'd get what's in the box done? Duh, the first time you said you would get it done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mstor Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 It looks very good except for the beaver tail. Flash and a large sink mark. Hopefully that will be address in the production runs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) yaayyyy! it exists. I see a couple things that have piqued my curiosity. 1 it looks like we will have to select the wing sweep position before assembly. the big spar pieces look like they are not moveable. 2 the intake trunking/ engine cowl is the full length, but there is also the cowling on the lower fuselage. I am assuming that one piece is mounted over the other. 3 the gun gas vent is molded to the forward fuselage, so no early tomcat kit unless they retool the piece. I am glad to see that they have FINALLY gotten the plastic done. now all that is needed is a safety review ?? Edited August 19, 2018 by dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whiskey Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Now I feel even more like a schmuck for the misadventure I am embarking on with my Monogram Tomcat after seeing this. What's the MSRP at right now for this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
