Kagemusha Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Gaston strikes again... Gaston Marty The nacelles are way too long: Wait for the Zoukei-Mura kit which has just come out and is way better... The guy's pure genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Never heard of this 'Gaston' who is he? I'm assuming he has a reputation for bad mouthing kits...? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Never heard of this 'Gaston' who is he? He "discovered" a previously unknown version of the Zero, which was longer/shorter/whatever than any previously documented version, all by the highly scientific process of lookin' at some photos, no factory drawings needed, just like his comment regards the Revell He 219 nacelles being waaaay too long, no need to check it against some factory drawings or against the real thing, as the employees of Revell have no doubt done, what fools.

LSP_Kevin Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Never heard of this 'Gaston' who is he? I'm assuming he has a reputation for bad mouthing kits...? Matt Yeah, he's become a bit of a joke in the modelling community. Most people (should) ignore him now. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dekenba Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Gaston strikes again... Gaston Marty The nacelles are way too long: Wait for the Zoukei-Mura kit which has just come out and is way better... Wow. Revell must be really worried & are no doubt recalling all the plans to send to this idiot genius to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT-14 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Sweet, that's one nice looking plane. Those guys at the Gerber/Smithsonian facility really outdid themselves on this one. I hope it gets completed soon...what a showpeice for the Smithsonian. That paint job is exquisite, and authentic if I know those guys! They're almost as exhuastive in their research as Gaston...almost... Gaston-100% Gerber/Smithsonian-94% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas V Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not in any way boosting his credentials, which he has none, he did from time to time raise valid questions regarding accuacy of different kits, if only by accident, by means of his proactivity. This however should not incourage one to seek his posts, because majority of those are truely ludicrous. Back on topic, could someone tell, or see from the parts layout if Revell plans to issue A-O version down the line... Thanks in advance Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Completely unrealistic looking I must say... on the basis it has no wings, or is it the meticulous attention to detail in the restoration? Happy to say for the kit version David weighed in with some of our stuff to help out in the cockpit (I want one soo bad...) Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
