Rick Griewski Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Maybe we could bond as brothers while building our Revell George kits during the “Blue Box of Happiness” group build next year. I plan to build mine. Nice addition to ones display shelf; the Rex and the George kit. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Revell kit is the early mid-wing version whereas Hasegawa released the later low-wing one. Ahhh ...OK. Well, for what's in the box and intending to only build one, the later version suits me just fine! Gary thierry laurent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) Mid-wing "George" = N1K1 Shiden Low-wing "George" = N1K2 Shiden-Kai (modified Shiden) Essentially two different aircraft as was previously mentioned with the same pedigree.

A bit like the P-43 Lancer and P-47 Thunderbolt are the same really. Easy mistake to make. (tongue in cheek0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I got my Revell N1K1 for $50 plus the Rex conversion from a guy on this same tread! But I’m not telling who is! Lol. Approximately one year ago to the day almost, eh? D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pennausamike Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) I guess my question always is, "How good does it have to be?" I built my Revell George and a Revell/ Combat vac Rex (along with the old Swallow low wing George) and I'm happy to have them on my shelf. But, I am not a rivet counter nor super detailer. I build basic kits as a form of recreation and relaxation.

fastterry Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Looking at ebay in the last couple of days the prices are now in the $150+ range. I don't need one that badly. TRF D Bellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
