ziggyfoos Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I did the same with AOA, since they are seemingly heavy into FAC craft, and have done the O-1 and OV-10 in 32nd already. Yes, I've been planning on doing decals for the O-2 since it was announced and also posted on FB a week or so ago that decals will be coming. As usual the plan is to cover only Vietnam ones though (grey and black) and also provide stencils. I'm still waiting for my kit though, I bought it end of Nov from same ebay seller as Kagemusha but tracking on mine shows no progress other than origination scan. Hoping it doesn't turn out to be a dog of a kit like that imodeler author suggests. Kagemusha, Out2gtcha and Phartycr0c 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Poor mouldings, poor transparencies, poor decals and not bought for full price Now, call me suspicious, I'm wondering if there's more to this, like someone shifting reject parts unofficially I'd be happier seeing a review based on a kit supplied directly by Roden, so I'm waiting Richard Phartycr0c and Harold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The guy on imodeler is just a drama queen touting for views, i have one, it will be great, Never trust a review that hasnt built the kit and has used a nokia 6310 for photos Out of focus shots too Lets do our own reviews pls RLWP 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Sorry, but it all looks even more aaarghhh! Glad I stopped at the O-1/L-19, which I can lend some love in the fullness of time We don't have to excuse crap kits; but the brave will endure them Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Can't wait for some reviews from members here. I really want this kit in a bad way. I can live with the easy to fix warps. It's the issue he reported with the clear parts that bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 A pretty shady review. I can see about 2.5 minutes worth of extra modelling required to sort out that warpage of the top fuselage. I can understand the clear parts issue as the same could have been said about the O-1 as the clear parts were packed in with the rest of the sprues and had some minor scratches that took as long as it took me to type this sentence to sort out. I am looking forward to getting this kit and building it. I have a RAAF pilot lined up to be its subject pilot as per my O-1 build.

Tony T Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Definitely one for the young and fit with gifted hands and good eyesight. If I was desperate to warp, whittle, fettle, sand and polish I'd build plank on frame wooden boats. But glad for those who like a challenge. Sorry chaps, but it appears to be the dog in the corner - ruff. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
