If the fit is anything like the 1/48 kits I have encountered, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Life is to short to endure kits that over engineered and bad fitting.


Which of the KITTY HAWK 1/48 aircraft kits did you build? Just curious...

I understand that their 1/48 F-35A, B, and C kits have issues- I can't comment on these three on a personal experience-level, but as I stated before, I encountered NO problems with my F-94C build...

BTW- How do you like over-engineered 1/35 Armor..?


JAS-39 Gripen, Sepecat Jaguar and F-35. Didn't agree with any of them. From what I've read, the MiG-25 isn't that sharp either.

I generally would rather have too much detail that I can discard than too little where I must get AM upgrades or accept over-simplification. It's why I generally don't care for Tamiya kits: they build themselves, but you sacrifice detail.

I'm with Hisham: these kits and the various resin weapons upgrades from Live Resin and others.

Hope for UH1N and UH1Y in 1:35 scale for next kits to use for OIF/ OEF period.
