Some nice ideas though with the Weapons. yeah, you are so right, I mean have you seen how shitty Meng kits are in general ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He doesn`t have the right attitude and this brings back memories of how much hate went towards AMKs F-14 when people questioned fracking EVERYTHING !!! The box art is not right, look at that takeoff angle etc etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I hope that model will have all rivets necessary. For now there are no rivets on the renderings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanW Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Having an option for old and new style wingtip formation lights would also be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seriously, I really like Meng a lot, their kits are cutting edge in many areas, but just regarding shape accuracy, their are 2nd tier at best(except their scanned P-51D). Anyway, I will not hold back my observation of the limited pictures of the CAD, compared to Hasegawa and the real thing, Hasegawa still looks better to me here: Edited November 27, 2020 by delide Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And nah, no way I’m going to any one of them up :-) Anyway, the kit’s a surprise, I believe it will do well, hopefull Meng will then work on more unique subjects, or subjects that can be greatly improved, shapewise at least, Hasegawa’s is one of their best, if not the best.

THAT's a fault?🙄 Yes, the difference's small, but the hobby is literaly about small things… It does show Hasegawa has done a great job 15 years ago, but I’m sure there will be small areas where Meng will look better.

RichardL Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I think I'm one of the very few who appreciates and welcomes all the flaws pointed out to me, whether major or minor, so I can make necessary corrections if possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joeltc Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I asked them in their initial post wether it will have the newer style nose gear doors that we've seen in a lot of photos in the last few years but they said it won't. So if any aftermarket guys feel like stepping up and giving us some it will be most welcome. Also some for the Hasegawa kit would be welcome too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then they can have parts for both Block II and III. If theyre not, they'll conduct a 3 year pre-order extravaganza 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
