f5guy Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm thinking of getting one, but AModel quality is always suspect for me. I've had, and unloaded, several of their kits in the past, and they looked to be quite the beasts to build. Not like Mach 2 barely build-able, but definitely not mainstream. Yes, I know that they take some work. Thanks, Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I don't have the C-12 kit but I do have the 1900C boxing that I will build as a C-12 and another to do as a RAAF testing aircraft, I have almost finished one of their PC-12s which went together OK, I found they have a lot of smaller parts with oversized sprue gates that make removing and cleaning up the part laborious. It is difficult to hold remove excess not required plastic. the other issue is not locating pins on parts, almost everything is butt joins. Having said that, their kits are getting better. My PC-12 that just needs some very small clear parts fitted and decalling Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My PC-12 that just needs some very small clear parts fitted and decalling Thanks Trojan. Your PC-12 looks great! I had their Mi-6 kit at one time, but realized that I would never build that beast. The C-12 is looking a little more do-able. Thanks, Fred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) Those sprue pics are much better than those provided by the seller on ebay. Thanks Robert! Fred. Edited June 20, 2020 by f5guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just started the same kit, but will do the SOCOM-version. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HAJO I is in deed, I also have another to do as the SOCOM version 😄 To their credit the SovaM rebox of the AModel PC-12HG sure packs in a lot of extras to make these two variants Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Well I bit the bullet and bought one on ebay. I'll see what it looks like in a month! Oh.... and I also bought that huge ol' 72nd Modelsvit An-124 as well! I might have to start that one! No idea where I'll put it though 🤔 Fred K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
