chezzie Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Hi all, I've both of these kits in my stash but am realising I probably will only make one. I'm wondering what the feeling is as to which is better to keep and why? Many thanks in advance to the hivemind! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I would build the Revell kit to avoid CA glue. Bill Cross, ivanmoe, LSP_K2 and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm struggling to find a cockpit at all from them (and struggling to find the canopy in stock anywhere) Cheers David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 While the resin canopy is desirable, it's possible to build the thing without it if you can't find one: chezzie, rafju and Phantom2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splatman812 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I wish Revell would do another run of this kit. The ebay offers are pretty pricy..... chezzie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I got one second-hand a few months ago. Never had the opportunity to open the box. But considering the shape of the canopy, it wouldn’t be too difficult to put it together, using the kit parts and home-made masks. Of course, it’s your wallet YMMV chezzie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
