gunnyax Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It is the only one on the market, and every kit has it’s issue. I hope there will be some aftermarket decals. Maybe kits and world. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they plan on shipping out metal inners to purchasers at a later date (I highly doubt it) this is what we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cees Broere Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 A good opportunity for the aftermarket. How nice of HobbyBoss to make it so easy for them. Cees adameliclem, PhilB and monthebiff 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis7423 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I feel like there's been a little confusion here, so I want to gather some thoughts into one comment so folks can be up to speed: 1. The wing airfoil is the wrong shape. It would take considerable retooling to fix, so you better be able to live with it if you want one, or be ready for extensive surgery. 2. The front turret is completely frosted, with the "frosting" on the outside. It will need to be polished to be more correct. The rear turret does not appear to need any polishing. The seams in the turrets in a whole other issue. 3. The interior core pieces for the landing gear legs are molded in plastic, and appear to have been intended to be molded in metal. Whether they show up in metal in later boxes/releases is yet to be seen. HTH - Dennis S.

Personal recommendation always helps. I was trying to avoid buying one of these on space grounds, but a price like this is really putting my resolve to the test!

Iain Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Collected a pair of these last night - mine have the plastic, rather than metal, undercarriage inserts as well. And the frosted turret an interesting 'feature'. But, hey, a 1:32 B-24 - and a galaxy away from the vac kits I have in the loft!
