habu2 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Nice. Any comments on the build? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warthoglvr Posted March 21, 2022 Author Share Posted March 21, 2022 Beats Hasegawa Hornets. Better fit and comes with weapons included. Folded wing option provided (and isn't glued down in the photos). The tails are press-fit into place which makes painting and decaling easier. Weapon pylons come with pins that connect to poly caps inside the gas bags and LGBs making it easy to switch loadouts. Highly recommend this kit. It's a real pleasure to build (very much on par with Tamiya's Tomcats and Phantoms). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

floridaplastic Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Nice build and finish my friend. I wonder how you got that cheatline to such a consistent width? ("custom mix for orange stripe along fuselage spine"). Friendliest regards, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
