LSP_K2 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I do look forward to seeing the model, but in all likelihood, will not be getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vulcan32 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 110+ parts for an 1/18 kit, seems to be pretty basic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Colvin Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 The 1/32 Hasegawa kit is around a 100 parts......if it is at least that good........it will make a great starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Looks like sprue shots are up on the HB page. Doesn't look very impressive as far as detail goes, especially the faint detail on the IP. http://www.hobbyboss.com/index.php?g=home&m=product&a=show&id=1356&l=en Also in stock at Squadron. https://www.squadron.com/HobbyBoss-1-18-Focke-Wulf-Fw-190A-5-HY81802-p/hy81802.htm Seems like it's pretty overpriced for what you get in the box IMHO.

Like I said back in the beginning of July, it's basically a toy like the stuff 21st Century Toys put out years ago. Tony T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 This might make a cool ceiling queen, with a sweet paint job. They make any 1/18th pilots? BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Yep, as predicted, it is essentially a toy. I'd love it if I were 11 yrs old. Hope it sells to aunties and uncles and encourages their nephews and nieces into the hobby Tony LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phasephantomphixer Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) Hanging from the ceiling of my shop, I have the following 1/18 scale, 21st Century Toys planes: F-86 P-51D (x2) P-47 Razorback TBM Avenger Spitfire Mk.I A6M2 P-38J Ju 87B Bf 109E (x2) Bf 109G (x2) Fw 190D-9 Always dreamed of a 190A, but haven't bought anymore of the big planes in years. This would be a great excuse to get one and, being able to paint it how I want from the start, is also appealing. I am anxious to see more details when they come out. I'm trying to stick to 1/32 scale (just finished a 190A-8 this morning, in fact!), but this is probably my all time favorite plane, so having a monster version is going to be difficult to pass up! John True, similar to you I have the big stuff hanging; 21st Cent. Me-109E 21st Cent. Spitfire Mk.1 21st Cent. P-38 McGuire 21st Cent. P-51D Old Crow 21st Cent. P-47D Bubble 21st Cent. F4U-1D 21st Cent. TBM Grey 21st Cent. BF-109G-6 21st Cent. FW-190D-9 Black 12 21st Cent. P-40B British 21st Cent. Me-262B Night Pegasus V-1 Pegasus X-1 21st Cent. Mig-15 21st Cent. F-86 21st Cent. F-104 George AFB Sure to get this FW-190A to join the Squadron of flight history Edited October 24, 2017 by phasephantomphixer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) This might make a cool ceiling queen, with a sweet paint job. They make any 1/18th pilots? You can usually find the carded (and loose) 21stCen pilots on ebay, but certainly not for the $1 they were going for when the company went under and the retailers were closing them out. I got rid of most of mine when I dropped to 1/32, but I still have the Corsair and the Sabrejet. Looking to sell those, but the Corsair took a dive some years ago and broke the wing hinges (never worked quite right anyway) and part of a landing gear cover disappeared off the Sabrejet.

cbk57 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) The instructions: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10487291 Jari I looked at the kit at this link and it is what everyone thinks it is. It looked like a really big 1/48 kit to me. You may have seen it Trumpeter did a 1/48 U-Boat which is fully detailed inside and out, Hobby Boss could have done a lot more with this kit. Years ago I built the Eduard 1/48 FW-190A and it had several times the detail this does, complete engine, excellent wheel bays etc. The fit was dicy, but more about skill of the builder than fault of Eduard. I was able to get mine together and looking good but the motor was not easy. I look foreword to a high quality big 190 as it is a subject I really like.
