Surely you haven't bought the Eduard propaganda that the scale issue and other minor things are the "only" problems, Prof of Death...say it ain't so...JimD wrote:It's like 1/46 scale or something. The panel lines in the wrong place and crud like that wouldn't bother me but being too big compared to other builds I have in the same scale would give me fits.
MY biggest complaint is the total lake of "rake" forward of the landing oleos...and not only is the kit wrong, the VERY expensive Eduard metal strut "updates" that come out only a month after the kit weren't even corrected, despite Eduard admitting the error!!! Instead the linked to a build blog showing several steps of required "surgery" to fix the problem...that, in my book, is unacceptable...and it's not rivet counting...
I dropped several hundred dollars on that kit and the resin sets, but I'll never make that mistake again...had they got it right, like they did with the Spitfire, they--as you like to say--would have had a license to print money for decades to come from 109 lovers. But instead there is quite a noticeable lack of buzz about this release these days. I'll wait on the rumored Zvezda kit...and build Hasegawa kits in the meantime...
