CRAZY IVAN5 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 3 hours ago, somebody said: I've started the kit already, but now I'm relying on 3d printed IP on most large scale kits......i can't go back to painting + decal. not possible to reach the level of details, at least at my level I'm in the same boat so to speak, I've become "addicted " to all these 3D instrument decals and there's no way I can even come close to painting this by hand. Good news from Quinta studios in putting out these for us mere mortals! I'd like o see some 3D printed missiles ,I hate P.E. fins somebody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 All- Just saw on the book of faces that Snowman Models (Takom) has released CAD renders of a forthcoming IAF Saraf version. So if you fancy that, stay tuned! Snowman has also indicated some fixed-wing releases in the future, too. - Dennis S.

somebody Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The kit is so much fun to build. so many details & tiny, tiny pieces that are impossible to trim/cut/glue or even to just hold in the finger tips.....good thing & bad thing. complex & tricky assembly with slightly vague instruction drawings due to poor isometric views.

Not sure I would call that fun lol. Tiny, fiddly pieces + bad instructions = modeling nightmare. Guess I have to ask myself how much patience I have. Otherwise, might have to sell both kits and hope the Meng is more forgiving. But dammit, hard to resist a Saraf Longbow! Love desert schemes.

I've been spoiled with tamiya kits..... The kit is challeneging due to small details, not misfits or terrible quality or clumsy construction. I would've thrown it out after a few steps if the kit was challenging for wrong reasons. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been spoiled by a bunch of easy builds recently, as well (as I get older, I have less patience/time to wrestle with bad kits). But I really love the Apache so....guess I'll just man up. :-) Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 for me, one of the most enjoyable kits for the price that I paid. I'm new to the helicopter models. The rotor assembly is so fun & nerve racking at the same time. looks great when all the tiny litttle pieces come together. can't say enough about the fun factor. scvrobeson, Kagemusha, Porkbits and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
