Dave Williams Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Just curious how you’re going to remove all that excess resin around those thin wing fold bulkheads without damaging them. Also, so if all of this is extra, what are you getting with the base kit? Just a basic SB2C shape with no weapons, closed bomb bay, and fixed wings? I think the places selling the kit need to be clear about what you get and, more importantly, what you don’t get when you click on a buy link for a kit.

My guess is that we’re looking at printed masters for resin moulds. Yes, some more clarity about versions would be good. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m suggesting is that silicone moulds might be made of the printed wing folds, to produce cast resin parts in HPH’s “wafer” style.

STWilliams Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I am strangely unenthused by the prospect of this kit, even though WWII is my favourite period. I don't know why, maybe it just has a touch of the HpH's about it. Looks great in the box, costs a small fortune and goes together like a 2 million piece jigsaw that's been mixed with another 2 million piece jigsaw and then dipped in bleach for 24 hours to remove all trace of any graphics. The multiple additional sets for additional money suggest the base level of detail will be somewhat limited, otherwise why bother? Will this end up as a classic HpH type kit, bought in smallish number, built in very small numbers? I'll let others buy it first and build it, whilst I wait in the wings with all my natural cowardice to the fore. nmayhew, Basta, Rick Griewski and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
