Jim Reagan Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm looking forward to receiving the kit to compare it to my Special Hobby version. I may combine both kits to make a P400. I have a special interest in 1920 t0 1940 as well as early WW2 aircraft. I'd also like to build a Thompson Trophy racer Check Squadron as they appear to be offering special sales. Anyone want to comment on kit accuracy as well as suggest accurate drawings/ Mushroom Models has 1/32 scale drawings available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imatt88 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Cool, I had no Idea Kitty Hawk was releasing a kit of this aircraft. I, too, will do a comparison with my Special Hobby kit. Should be interesting.... Cheers, Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been discussed ad nauseam already: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=58079 In short, it suffers from typical Kitty Hawk poor research. They used the same inaccurate data that SH did, and the kit is too short in the aft fuselage. This utterly perplexes me, since it literally took about 15 seconds on Google to find a set of Bell fuselage station diagrams with the correct data. But that's "Mr. Song" for you.
