Dennis7423 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 First time the early G has been boxed, sort of. Looks like staggered waist, and stinger tail. Still yet to see 3-pane waist windows in 1/32. - Dennis S. Mount Juliet, TN USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Definitely an interesting marketing ploy. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoggz Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I'd say that was pretty comprehensive evidence! Phartycr0c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Griewski Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 I could go for one of the figures. Looks like it is well done. I already have the B-17 G kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Oh how I wish this model was better than it is, I'd definitely use it for my Fifinella ship (42-107030). Although it is huge when built, creating masks for the nose art (I have yet to attempt this) would be easier than in 1/48 if it's even possible to create nose art masks in that scale. I'll have to stick to my 1/48 Monogram "in-progress" build for the foreseeable future.

nmayhew Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 do we have confirmation this new kit has the staggered waist windows? Elizabeth looks good - she always did! - but from a modelling perspective, HK made a big 'miss' by never tooling something that could make the likes of a 'Bit O' Lace' etc MikeC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they have so far missed a golden opportunity to release the 3-pane waist gun windows in this scale. Which is odd, because they have them tooled in 1/48 already. - Dennis S.

Tolga ULGUR Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Did HK fix the excess rounding at the top of the fuselage? This issue was fixed at 1/48 scale, which was released later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
