Rick Griewski Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 (edited) I picked up my kit at my LHS, Model Cave on Thursday. I bought the Roden kit on EBay. This time I decided to be patient and buy local. Nice kit. I like it a bit more than the Roden kit. But do not get me wrong I am happy to have both kits. My Roden kit is assembled and ready for painting. Rick Edited November 14, 2020 by Rick Griewski Spelling and added a thought Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read or saw somewhere that there was a problem with them lining up or fitting to the upper wing. I too have bought both kits, but they are not started yet. Thanks Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to check before painting, else a potential mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 My biggest challenge with the Roden kit was wing alignment and getting all struts in place with everything still lined up. Without a jig it would have been impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
