delide Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) It's certainly a Tamiya new tool, the test build really looks spot on, it is the only one so far that has picked up the strangely different angles of the pylons , among many other shape issues that previous kits all have got wrong: wing fuselage transition, very slight curved spine/top fuselage instead of perfectly straight, nose side profile... it all looks right here. OK, it's official now. Edited September 30, 2022 by delide Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 I know that it is new tool kit. But such information there is not on website you linked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

habu2 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) No way it's an Italeri rebox. It's obviously a rebox of the Meng kit.... /s added in case that's also not obvious.... . Edited September 30, 2022 by habu2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So you know that it’s a new tool kit, but you were questioning people before about it being a new tool kit because you didn’t see it written anywhere? What? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FlyAndFight Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Looks like a new tool kit to me... 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You questioned whether it was a new tool kit, and then you later said “I know that is a new tool kit”. Is that not correct? The answer is yes or no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanW Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Page number 2 and no single word of criticism while it's obvious that the RAM panels are unacceptable. I guess that's why some people are questioning whether it is Tamiya tooling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
