razgriz Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Sprues were on display at the Shizuoka Hobby Show. Pics were posted on their Japanese Twitter as well. https://twitter.com/meng_model Apparently the Japanese market gets its own boxing. http://hobby.dengeki.com/event/381476/2/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They kept it under wraps for the most part and now shortly before the release they're showing sprue trees. THAT is how you do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used Google Translate and got this result from the comment under the intake photo: "There is no glue on the mouth of the combination of water, but this product is not plastic products" ?

The caption basically says that this shows the intake part dry-fitted to the fuselage but this is not a snap-fit kit. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) One of the things I wonder about is how do they know that the external pylons look like? Being at Hill AFB and seeing the 34th FS and 466th FS flying, I have yet to see any of the Lightnings flying with external store's yet. This won't prevent me from buying one.

More than a couple have been flying with external stores, but during the testing phase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
