I almost always replace wheels these days. Not only are the resin ones more details, but they often come with separate tires and hubs which makes painting so much easier.

Mizar Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 hope they will not pull a Tamiya and completely ignore the other 2(+2+1) variants Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 If I can see correctly, there are no bomb racks for weapons pallets. So there will be difficult to attach any AG weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anders_Isaksson Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Finally got the moxdau page to load so I borrowed a pair of images (source in each photo) of the details previously discussed here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anders_Isaksson Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I see the mounting points for the fuel tank pylon seem to be positioned dead center on the intake underside when it really should be sitting slightly outboard of the centerline. It’s a minor point, and I believe most 72nd scale Tomcats also has this detail wrong. Edited July 9, 2019 by Anders_Isaksson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aside from the few problems already noted, this looks like a very nice kit. I am amazed at how small they got the sprue gates on many of the small, delicate parts. If this is what GWH can do at 1/72 scale, I can't wait to see what they can do in 1/48. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Kit contains very poor armament: only 3 pairs of AIM-9, AIM-7 and AIM-54 missiles. There is no air to ground weapon or targeting pods. I am thinking about potential ordnance of this model with regards of available aftermarkets. I know I can use GBU-31 from ResKit and GBU-38 & GBU-12 from Eduards, also they have got available Litening pod, but I am not so sure this pod is proper for Bombcat. Anyone can advice?

And in this photo I think the spine is less pronounced, so maybe not an issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
