rafju Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Hi All Just received one from an eBay seller in Poland. First review out of the box: - Lot of sprues in a small plastic bag in a large cardboard box with a great box art in the cover, no pb all content absolutely well protected. - First personnal impress: parts and runners are flawless. That means production process quality (and/or control?), and one other remark: sprues are "heavy" (good plastic fill in the mold cavity). Great surface detail too, looks like the O-1. - clear parts are thin and transparency is here, the windscreen is perfectly molded and very thin too. This is what I can say from now and I repeat: from my own copy. Rgds LSP_Paul, phasephantomphixer, LSP_Kevin and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Yes, it looks a whole lot better than before. I also notice that the window retaining flanges do exist but are located on the fuselage parts, which allows for them to be inserted after painting - though the roof one may be cussedly difficult still. Thanks for posting the mini review Tony Out2gtcha and rafju 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Looks nice on the sprues. The big thing is going to be how it goes together and how structurally sound it is, especially on the rear gear. Is there an IP decal included with instrument faces? TIA.

Hi Dave, yes ps: the rear gear is a plastic part of 1.5mm thick, to my opinion it can be easily reinforced if necessary with a piano wire or something like, Edited December 12, 2017 by rafju LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Looks like the original worries were stemmed from a sub-par review with really crappy pics done by someone who was unfortunate enough to receive a kit either damaged at or near the factory somehow, or damaged in transport.
