JdalianisTotally disappointed. Is Academy a toy company or a model making company. ? I wish they'd make up their minds. I understand they want to entice kids to take up the hobby but you can't pabder this kind of product to modelers. This kit is a toy with some nice details. A little better than Revell's build and play models. Sure it's cheap but I want to build scale models not toys.

GlennIts a shame they can make some pretty good models when they put their minds to it. Pity as this subject may not get another tooling from other companies? HobbyBoss? Trumpeter?

JdalianisThat is what pisses me off about Academy they can make amazing kits. If they want to make it simple for youngsters and newbies to modelling they should go about it like Bandai does. Simple to assemble, stickers AND decals and superb details.

HyunMo KooFIY there should be "Modeler's Edition" coming later with proper waterslide decals and better details that require cement.
This is on of their MCP line of kits (which means Multi Color Plastic so I guess it's a misnomer here. A better example of "M"CP line of kit would be their Titanic MCP kits which have already color separated plastics and snap-tight construction) so I'd say it's construction is very appropriate for the line up. And this is super inexpensive (Something like $10 here in Korea, I don't know how much import sellers charge overseas though.) so I have no problems with it.

JdalianisFirst off if it was $10 here in Canada I wouldn't have said a negative word😜.
I paid $48 CDN with shipping because i like new snazzy airplane kits and this one intrigued me so I guess I pulled the trigger too fast. I also ordered the resin wheel bays for another $30 because I like my planes with wheels down.
I should have waited 😢.

HyunMo Koo$48 Canada bucks is plain extortion IMO. God damn it. Maybe the importer got greedy with the fact that it's about only kit for newly released protype jet. If I paid $48 for this I'd be mad too. 😡

JdalianisIf you are from Korea maybe I can ask you to purchase new Academy releases for me and I would pay you up front for cost and shipping 😜

HyunMo KooHaha. Postal service here in Korea quotes the price of shipping a 40x10x30cm box to Canada to be around $35 CAD. So it'd be something like $45 after I ship it to you. 🤔
(It becomes $18 CAD if I ship it via sea though. Then it'd be something like $28 CAD total.)

ER34GTTThis product is positioned between the model and the toy. Don't buy this product expecting a precision model. You will be very disappointed. I will look forward to the release of the precision model of KF-21 one day.
