Ayovan Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm looking to add an F-80 to my stash. Special Hobbies and Czech Models both have 1/32 offerings, although I have never built anything from either company. Which one would you rather build? Any recommendations ?

LSP_Kevin Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Same basic kit. Kev Ayovan, scvrobeson and LSP_K2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayovan Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 They are both about the same price point. I didn't know if one was a better kit than the other. Thanks, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayovan Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 Thanks, I'll be picking up one then. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Needham Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Same kit parts in different boxes and a nice kit overall but there are some fit issues with the intakes which you will need to work on. I have seen some superb builds of this kit; just don't expect a Tamiya style of parts fit. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Quote just don't expect a Tamiya style of parts fit. you are a master of understatement Gary! Fit the intakes to the fuselage halved BEFORE you join the fuselage halves together Harold, thierry laurent and Gary Needham 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Andy I ordered one today, as I was notified the kit was on this week's SH discount scheme special offer list. However, I found a UK supplier who was selling at very close to the SH price, but the shipping was far cheaper than any of the Euro post options from the Czech Republic. It didn't used to be so as I've bought several kits direct from the SH scheme in the past.

scvrobeson Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Yep, was going to say, the F-80 kit is listed as on sale this week from Special Hobby's webstore. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
