caudleryan Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The two that i have go together really good. The YF-23 that I'm putting together fits like a dream so far. However, there are a few minor sink marks to deal with and the surface is slightly rough. It's pretty much the same with the 1-32 F-84 as well. I can't speak about accuracy, though, as I don't really care about the fine details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 The newer the kit usually the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Detail is usually very good, fitting is also near perfect, but they usually have problems in decals (poor and wrong) and shape/accuracy/dimensions. My latest experiences was with their F-84F and SAAB J32 Lansen, both in 48 scale. For example the Lansen builds up like a Tamiya kit but has some parts from an A 32, a complete different variant! And the F-84F comes with refueling receptacles on both wings! So you need to double check your references to build a correct kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The hornet is very basic. But the fit is good, and the surface detail is crisp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hegedus Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Like any manufacturer, some are better than others. The 1/48 F4F-3 and F4F-4 Wildcats are very good kits, and the 1/48 Avengers are also good kits. Others - not so much from what people here and on other sites have noted.

The simple kits vs the better kits can be differentiated by their stock number. For example their 1/72 F-14 / F-15 / F-16 / F-18 kits are rather simple (not bad just not as detailed) all have stock numbers in the 802xx series. Their A-7 and most (all?) of their helicopter kits are more detailed, they are all in the 872xx series. I'm not as familiar with their 1/48 kits to state a similar description.

82Whitey51 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I have the A-6A kit and it is pretty incredible looking on the sprues! I'm looking forward to building it...'Nam style, big black radome, tons of bombs! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their decals are nice and thin but usually suffer from poor accuracy. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy Snap Captain Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Their Rafale series in 1/48 is very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 They have gems and dogs. And they make models you will not find in the range of other manufacturers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm back and forth on the wings folded, or spread with all that flap and slat showing?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
