Nice box art. Paul C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowen Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I don't know if I'll pick up another one of these or not. I have the strafer version in the stash. I built the original glass nose version. It's an awesome kit! Highly recommend. If anyone is pondering this and has never built this kit before, it's definitely worth it! -Ro If anyone's interested, here's my build: nmayhew, MikeMaben and dutik 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice box art. Paul C $260 shipped? Wasn’t the original glass nose release only about $160? That seems pretty high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreightDog Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Just finished my motorised glass nose (original boxing) and agree with everyone who recommends building this... the wing join design is absolutely amazing and seems to be a HKM thing. The ONLY thing I disliked (hated actually) about this kit was the engine; the implementation of the engine wiring harness which involved each individual cable, and the rocker covers which despite following the instructions to the letter just didn't fit. As I was always going to display it ready to taxy it wasn't the end of the world but it'd be great if they've fixed that in this version.

I didn't have a problem with those rocker covers though it did take me nearly two weeks to build the engines. It was a slow process. LOL! -Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I too loved the kit, but didnt really like the look of the engines either, and it made it even worse looking with the way too small engine nacelle openings. Personally I thought the too tight engine openings looked worse than the actual engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Browne Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I will be picking one up once the price settles. Are there AM nacelles and engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
