firefly7 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Thanks for the review Paul. Nice kit, but i think i'll get the Hasegawa, simpler & cheaper. LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Darren, Im glad you enjoyed the review. These SWS kits give me the same feeling I used to get back in the day with the Monogram kits with Shep Paine diorama brochures inside, ( early 70's) that same sort of excitement about the possibilities for displaying all the detail creates another level to the project and ups the entertainment value in my book.

Nice kit, but i think i'll get the Hasegawa, simpler & cheaper. I already have the Hasegawa, which I got to replace the Revell kit I built back when I started building again. I doubt I will buy this unless it can easily be made into a J2M2, which is the only major produced variant I think a company would bother with, if at all. Aren't the differences mostly in the engine used and the type/placement of armament, with a dimensional change around the cockpit and nose at one point as well (because the two engines were different lengths)? Assuming one really needed to model every variant that got built? Edited July 24, 2019 by CATCplSlade LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming one really needed to model every variant that got built? Sounds about right for the changes between the versions as I read it, I'm just glad we have two excellent kits to choose from. Great time to be in 1/32 Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
