Anders_Isaksson Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Ooh, this one looks the part! Wasn't there also an Alfa announced by GWH? Perhaps that one was in 48th scale. Either way, I'm looking forward to get my hands on this Delta soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK which year you can ask. As far as it is know in 2019. So it is just around the corner. According to the FB postings I’ve seen, those are production sprues and the kit is in production to ship in the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zactoman Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 My first impression (wheels aside) is that it looks impressive, especially for a 1/72 kit. The panel lines and surface detail looks nicer than some 1/48 offerings. Will be interesting to see it built up. The spine termination and bulges above the wing pivots look a bit too pronounced, but the lighting on the plastic seems to highlight and possibly exaggerate these areas. I think they might look fine under a coat of paint. AIM-9 look pretty good for 1/72, though the connector ring at the front of the fuse is overdone. I would have preferred having 2 of the front fins separate (like the rear) so that they could be molded thinner. The one issue that jumped out at me was the intakes. While they do appear to be OK in shape and detail (they even have the obvious gear strut locking detail, missing from even the best Tomcat kit), they have 2 big, ugly holes for mounting the fuel tank pylons. The problem? They also have molded-in mounting points (4 small circles) for the pylons that don't match those holes. Their rear set of mounting points is off and should align with the forward set, but the 2 big holes would have you attach the pylon are in the wrong location. I hope they fix this for the 1/48 version (and the 1/32 to follow!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The connector ring at the fron of the fuse is thick, that is what I see wird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Manuel's post of the Moxdao link. It takes forever to load (if it will load at all), but contains many closeup photos of the kit parts, including the wheels.
