ChesshireCat Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I had a relapse a year or so ago, and bought the Eduard G6 kit. Got home and opened the box for the look see. Nice, but left me underwhelmed at the same time. Something about the front just wasn't right to my eyes. Rest seemed nice. Fast forward, and Tamiya decides we need another G6. Now I have six or eight 1/48th G6's in my stash, so I'm assuming they'll do a better job that the last one! (just glad I only got stuck with one) Knowing that Germany built more G6's than any other variant, and also knowing there are several other G6 kits out there. I really wish that Tamiya would have done a G14AS with optional tails (yes there were short tail G14's as we as tall tails). The G6 and G14 are close relatives anyway. Still had Tamiya done a K4; I'd been good for four kits! gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t believe how many new tool releases Eduard has in the works! Thanks for letting me know about the Facebook page! The P-51 and Tempest look great, as do the retooled Fw 190s!

stalal Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Are there any decals out there in after market sized for Tamiya G6 kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I asked as the kit has two pairs of decals for cowling. Its fuselage size and shape is slightly different from Hasegawa kit. Comparing Hasegawa kit with Tamiya, Tamiya looks more accurate.
