Aussie-Pete Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Which kit do people think is best? The Kittyhawk has more brass bits but the Meng is supposed to be more detailed? Looking to buy this weekend Thanks for your thoughts Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldog 09 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Meng hands down. Ram panels are a little high, but otherwise an outstanding kit overall. Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Kittyhawk kit has several shape issues, especially around the tails. I have yet to fondle the Meng kit but sprue shots are promising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the conclusion page translated with Google Translate. Basically, the Meng kit is miles ahead of the Kitty Hawk one. Quote Summary MENGoverall combination of excellent, sharp details, although some research has been inaccurate (air intake, nose). But the overall small details of the highlights do well, enhance the details of the three-dimensional, improve the overall details of the sharp and rich level. Thanks to the precision of the mold technology, reducing the difficulty of making the production, especially the upper and lower body combination is very good, the combination at one go, implement the happy model, but the front landing gear wheel slightly feel a little lack of detail, there is room for improvement. After the overall effect of the group is good, heritage MENG has always been a good quality, it is worth to start at this stage 48 ratio F35 models. Rating: 10 points composition of: 8.5 the vertical tail wing combined with a small gap, the bomb bay wheel well sham group carefully re-adhesion, an excellent combination of the rest of. Details: 8 minutes and wheel wells, pipelines Details General bomb bay, air intake, research head slightly inaccurate, but overall large is good. Production Difficulty: 9 minutes and several large parts of the portfolio are good, basic need correction can be completed portfolio. Pay attention to the body of the bomb cabin and the wheel of the nozzle, must be handled properly, otherwise it will affect the follow-up parts installation, the whole machine group I probably spent a day can be completed. Accessories richness: 7 bomb bay comes ammunition detail is good, if to do to fulfill mount style, under the wing of ammunition to be purchased separately. Kitty HawkAs a result of the mold age (perhaps this time a friend said 12 years of open mode how can we say is long, then you called Hasegawa, Tamiya and other classic feelings ah?) I explained here, "long" is relatively small eagle this Brand, in order to combine with the new product for a division, say back to this F35, compared to mass production, the feeling and the model has nothing to do, and closer to AA-01 or AF-01 models, but if you look at , Looks like these two models, the model can not do the corresponding, because the feeling is that these two models fit. Parts details are partial meat, and with a certain amount of plastic, feel the plastic sheet density is not enough, positioning holes are basically not credible, many have to be re-amended, the general combination of parts (hatch actually not fit, PE tail spray small The box is the introduction of the hole, the manual error has been extended to the recent emergence of new products, (obviously the left part, but gives the right part of the number) wing with ammunition, pylons manual Are not marked, the basic guess is done. Rating: 10 points composition of: 4 more out of the hole, parts rough comparison, some sheet deformation, the correction to violence, details: 4 wheel well, the bomb bay details are okay, but it models. The The Basic YY, 4 generation machine to you to install a 2-generation wing, tail hanging a lot of big, a lot of art creation nail line, PE tail spray look very beautiful, but the actual installation up ~ ~ are not as plastic parts, The hole process is quite painful. Production difficulty: 4.5 production process are basically with the introduction of holes, parts of the war between the deformation, the body up and down combinations, tail and so need to remove the interference, repeated fake group, filling the grinding, to complete, the whole machine group I probably It was used for five days. Accessories rich degree: 3 minutes PE tail spray is basically useless, the shell with ammunition details is also OK, is the wing is relatively thick, the introduction of more holes, wing pendulum ammunition and other instructions did not indicate how to make.

habu2 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I picked up the Meng kit last week from Squadron, USD$48 with 20% off code. Looks good in the box, sadly that's where it will stay for a while until I get to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
