(keep on scrolling)
the trumpeter mig 19!!!
i love the kit, i loved the fit, i loved the detail, i loved the accuracy. i didnt love how some parts were damaged, i didnt love how the surface was rough (hell the hasegawa 1/72 f-15 has the best plastic ive EVER used/seen) i didnt love the lack of colour schemes.
now the mig 15… on the other hand… fit was ok. cockpit= 4 parts WTF a $50 for that? the engine was incorrect (8 chambers instead of 9) surface was pebbly, like my next door neibors house, and there were some dumb mistakes. its still ok tho
the worst fit ever: the dragon ta 152
worst detail for price: hasegawa me 262 (engines were nice, cockpit ok, but rest was crap)
worst condition (of parts, flash, etc) icm spitfire mk ix
best boxart: accurate miniatures p51 (i got it at $12 canadian, it retails at $29 american. it came in a plastic bag)
nah best boxart was italeri me 262
most mold release: icm spitfire mk ix
finest detail: dragon he 219
lowest price: RoG 1/144 phantom: $2
best value: acc mini p51
most sinkmarks: icm spitfire mk ix
I recently bought a 1/32 F-22 Raptor for $29 it was a lot of money for me considering im only 15…but it was a piece of $&^@. Almost nothing fit right, I spent most of my time holding the parts while the glue dried. The freakin thing took me about 3 weekends to complete and since it didnt come with a piolet and the hobby store near me didnt have one I had to gey my dad to make one out of Crayola model magic…it looks alright but if we coulda gotten some real modeling clay it would have turned out much better.
Yikes! Bad luck with the Raptor, Parfectputter!
Was that the kit sold by Testors? I seem to remember seeing one years ago. Must be a very big kit! There’s nothing worse than a large, poor-fitting kit to just drive you nuts. Glad to hear you finally got it all together.
No it was a Revells Kit I was really dissappointed
Anyone know where I can get some good references on the DC-10?
Many years ago I bought a 1/250 doyusha battleship + aircraft carrier (Yamato & Shinano) : huges plastic kits ; huge work for detailing ; huge price … I definately consider that these kits aren’t good quality in comparison with other japanese 's plastic model kits. But these kit are good bases for whom get the patience & enthusiasm to complete the hard job of bulding and detailing one of these models.
