Why would they charge less than the Mitchell for a newer more complex kit? The solution of course, is to wait and watch and buy when they get more realistic, at £170 on eBay. No-one is shooting anyone … here … The distributor may very well be shooting themselves - in the foot, with overcooked pricing though! Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Well, Dennis, there's your turret! Are you sure it'll fit the -24? It does look good nice and clear Dennis7423 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckD Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Well, at the solid risk of repeating myself... I'm in. Time to rip through my current project to make sure the bench is clear. CRAZY IVAN5 and coogrfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dpgsbody55 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Thanks for posting those pics. The kit looks fantastic, and at least one version should be a must buy. Cheers, Michael Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog The RAAF had A's and C's initially ( shown with slim rear gunners cover/hatch and clear front nose and small front wheel ) and last small batch were G's x 20 aircraft ( A28-50>70) but the G's didn't have inspiring nose arts at all as the earlier versions did.. but I'm hanging out for the A-C version for obvious reasons ( NOSE-ART) These earlier marks was shown as a resin clear nose in some convention photos ( maybe a A-C prototype) for later release versions...

John1 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Overall, it looks pretty darned good. My only reservation is the "oil-canning" texture on the upper wing surfaces. From that one shot, it just looks to be way overdone. I'll reserve judgement until more pictures are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Juliet, TN USA I can confirm the next release is in fact the K version. BUT, never say never. although to produce the earlier versions the fuselage halves would require re tooling.

I agree with you ,does look a little heavy . My guess it'll "tone down " some after a coat of primer and paint. scvrobeson, Smokeyforgothispassword and Brock 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
