CF104 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 The multi part canopy post on FB was in July 2016 with all of the replies more than a year old. Personally I think the 3 piece canopy is a fail for me. Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Over engineered for 1/48 and something that would be okay in 1/32 or larger.

I do recall that now.... I thought there was something new, like people were saying the shape was off or something. Thanks, Jamie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Red Dog Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) looking at that wing makes me happy because that's exactly why - i'm happy to thrust AMK - i'm happy to wait - i'm happy to have passed that Tamiya no risk release :) Edited February 9, 2018 by Red Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anj4de Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Looking good...so we already have a "dirty" AM wing set that might even fit Tamiya as it looks like! :-) I am looking fwd to the next steps now... cheers Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stalal Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) That wing is looking awesome. If thats the way the model kit will be in terms of detail, its going to beat Tamiya. Tamiya kit is too plain for today's plastic model kits anyway. Edited February 10, 2018 by stalal Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superheat Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Gents, HobbyEasy now shows a release date of March 10th, and seems to still be taking pre-orders: http://www.hobbyeasy.com/en/data/tare0bal4idjzfrztyrj.html Cheers, Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
