I sometimes feel the same way, but I've learned to ignore it and just build my stuff oob (mostly). You don't HAVE to fix these issues if you don't want to. I had to teach myself that and it helps. Build for yourself, build for fun, fix whatever you want. And those wo do want the most accurate F-18 or B-24 will be happy to have all the info they can get. Best get back OT now I think.

Sent him a PM on Facebook, hope it's nothing serious...

Have they become rare now? Seems like yesterday stores were selling them for less than half of the RRP...

Mine just arrived, what a beast! Even with the aforementioned flaws there's a lot of value for money in this kit! Shame they didn't include seat belts on the PE fret.

Recently got my hands on Zvezda's La-5. Can't say how well it goes together but I was impressed with the amount of detail you get for the money. No PE for the seatbelts but it has a pilot figure you could use instead. Me-262 series from Hobby Boss also gets a vote from me. Though, once again, no seat belts.

A big thanks to the LSP team and all sponsors for organising this! I assume the usual 25% rule applies?

If you're not allergic to 1/48 they're also doing a new tool A-26 Invader

Happy dance!

Awesome news! I'm far more likely to get one now.

Site says Feb next year at an RRP of 35,000 Won, about 31 USD or 27 Euro. Not bad at all!

I read somewhere that some PE parts for the floats are missing from the kit, any truth to that?

Here's a pic of the Hasegawa D:

I'm becoming more of an OOB builder as well. Maybe a minimal amount of etch or some fabric seat belts... Spending time researching/fixing inaccuracies and dealing with fiddly AM parts has more than once been a mojo killer for me... As for this one, I'll gladly build it as it is.

Got myself a few cockpit detail sets from the Eduard sale.
