While I assume the Dragon/Cyber kits may be better in some ways, as far as I am aware, the Eduard kits still hold their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe anyone that would want one already has one or more. Dont have any of these but if your sending them out to a triff store ill give them a home. Hell i can even do a dual build with my 8yr old thats getting curious about my hobby LSP_K2 and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I may be able to find more books on Italian WW2 planes, as I have very little info on them in my library. Cheers, Michael Hope this helps.

Alain Gadbois Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 It is sad when a local hobby shop closes, and this time it is Hobby Junction in Montreal's West end, just next to Dorval Airport (now Trudeau Intl Airport). Went to visit last week and got a few kits plus various decal sheets in 1/48 and 1/32. These 3 kits cost around $ 220.00 CDN total, so about $ 175.00 US. Not a huge discount from the store, but still a good deal. The F-4 was just $ 70.00 CDN or $ 56.00 US and a lot of plastic for this price! Also got this on a previous visit. Just too cool to pass on. Thinking of combining with a plane of the era, a racer or something. Still need to work on this. An old but nice kit.

Much is gone now, but still hard to go through all what remains without missing something! The Sabre kit is quite impressive in the box.

denders Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I picked up that same F-4 kit last fall when I stopped in a shop in VA, while we were on a trip. It was $54, that seems to be the going price. Of course, I've added to the cost quite a bit with AM for it. Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a Red Wolf 3d cockpit decal set, some Kitworlds ejection seat decals, and GT exhaust cans. Other than that, oob. I thought it was a nice kit. Makes for a big plane...lol Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are nice kits, even if the tooling is ancient. You can search the internet for photos of the real thing to help paint in correct colors if you want and add accurate details. I found a Ford brochure with all the possible interior/exterior color combinations for the Ranchero. The pick-up looks horrible on the box top but is actually quite nice in the box. There isn't much choice for vehicules in 1/32, so these could come in handy for an eventual vignette with an aircraft. The Bugatti, for some reason is molded in red!
