Jeremy WiltcherFINALLY!! after pre-ordering and paying for it in 2016, and watching it change due dates or disappearing for the new release lists altogether, I finally have it....... Now of course it will sit in the stash for 3 more years!! So thanks to everyone at MRS Hobbies (my local shop) for all they do and for calling me as soon as it came in..

Share Holger Kranich Always nice to be happy about a desired kit! But dont let us wait too long till you build it!
20. March at 13:17:36
Sören Reifert Cancel it if you can...
Sorry but you dont hear anything good about this kit - best example:
The instructions tells you to remove flash or file off around 0,5mm of large areas.
And sure we are all scale modellers etc., but we are still talking about a 2019 NEW TOOL kit and this from a huge manufacturer and no short run producer
20. March at 13:25:59
Sören Reifert No it's a Revell new tool with sadly also some shape issues etc.
Revell is losing more and more ground to the others in the industry (like ICM, Eduard and Co) in my opinion
20. March at 13:49:32
Holger Kranich Just had a apeek. Well the joints from canopy to spine does not look good... Oh Revell, what have you done? Ok, pizza box looks way better than Trumpeters, there is light and shadow.
20. March at 13:56:41
Roland Revolvermann i dont know why everybody is parrot-fashioned repeating alleged issues. maybe im wrong but no "mate" has completed this kit. The majority not bought this kit yet. Im not a Revell fanboy, but this kit isn't better or worse than other.s I got this kit, too. I dont regret.

10. February 2012 at 21:09:12
Andrew Brown Fabulous Mr P, I'm glad to hear of your new love affair with Xtracrylics, they are my favourite paints of all time, I only wish that they had a bigger range of colours or that I could easily purchase Agama Paints in the UK.
11. February 2012 at 13:51:02
Thomas Poelkemann A short update today. Working on the Wolfpack Seat with a liffle nasty surprise they didn´t fit into the cockpit. The seat´s are 3mm wider than the cockpit is. UPS!!!!!!!! I sand off the details on both side of seat. and then it fit´s. not that good but it looks good to me.
16. February 2012 at 22:19:58
Holger Kranich Oh s..t, it wont fit! Sorry to see that the seats dont fit the way they should! I would cry if i had to sand all the detail off!
