Vaildog Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Squadron has them in stock now. Pretty quick turn around by Meng from announcement to release! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nachjager Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Interesting, but ordered mine from HobbyEasy at nearly half the Squadron's price and it is now at Customs in NYC to be delivered to my door soon. Edited June 29, 2017 by nachjager Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Looks good. I held off when the KH kit came out, too many shape errors. I liked the Meng F-106 kit, looking forward to this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B2Blain Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 It doesn't look like the flaps can be positioned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In step 17 of the instructions (see link above) it shows the leading and trailing flaps as seperate parts. The tail pieces however look like they cannot be positioned.

The tailplanes however can be positioned either neutral or deflected 10 degrees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B.Sin Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) There is a built-up and painted example over on hyperscale. It looks really good, then again Brett Green is quite an accomplished model maker. Edited July 4, 2017 by B.Sin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be interested in hearing how he managed the masking or if he used decals. The new paint scheme cannot roll out fast enough IMHO. That is the only part of any F-35 build I would dread...thus far.
