chrish Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Just started tonight, whilst awaiting weapons from Sprue Brothers for the F-8E which parcel tracking indicates was incorrectly addressed and stuck in transit somewhere. Hoping to build it OOB and enjoy a nice smooth build (we'll see how that works out) And thats all for now Rocat, Greg W, MikeMaben and 22 others 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Eagle Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I had fun with the challenge of building this kit, but it crashed off a shelf several years ago. Still have all the parts- give or take. Thinking maybe I can use the PCM nose parts to modify the nose from the Italeri. Just a dream. Will definitely be obtaining this new kit- maybe two. chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, they've only the announced the 202 so far, but unless sales really tank, I'd imagine a follow-up 205 release would be a no-brainer.
