[Mikester]

Looks pretty nice but at $45 I don't see myself picking this up.

Usually see some metal frets to go along at that price. Still, looks good.

This one will be ordered as a sample for you Mike. I hope you enjoy looking at it.

Thats a nice looking pit in the photos... But that price... OUCH!

[nmayhew]

Waaaay overpriced

What are Eduard on?

For that money it needs to be pretty much perfect

 

Personally, I am far more interested in the white bronze landing gear for the Revell 109

 

Anyone notice these???

 

This is a far more significant release for both Eduard and us modellers: SAC are generally crap / aspire to mediocrity; GFactor are great but bloody expensive and difficult to find

 

If Eduard's stuff is any good, it could be a massive boost

 

I trust we will be getting a couple of these sets for our 109 experten to review?

[Mikester]

One piece metal landing gear would be a huge upgrade, the kit supplied struts are awful in terms of strength!

[nmayhew]

gear is already out of stock at hannants (doh) but hopefully Eduard will be churning them out!

have to say that £27 plus postage for a 109 cockpit is just too much imho

but each to his own...

Question:

 

Did Eduard get that vent corrected and in the right position???

[Paulster]

Sprue Brothers has them in stock at $20.49 USD. After buying G-Factor's for my Mk. IX and F-105G that doesn't seem that out of line. Especially seeing as it also includes gear doors.

Those are nice pair of legs! I didn't know that they were out yet...

 

Hmmm, now do I order some now?

[Mikester]

The gear look really nice, but......

 

If the main hit on Hasegawa is the price these add-ons make the Revell kit much less of a bargain.

After spending about 5 minutes looking at the kit legs all painted and formulating brake line approach and considering re-sanding legs for re-paint.  I caved and ordered the Brassin set.

Cockpit upgrade cost more than the model. Just put in a pilot

[Paulster]

I love cockpit upgrades. Sometimes I buy them before I buy the kit itself. No one ever told me this was a cheap hobby.

Glad to see all that money you save drinking watered down beer going to a good cause!

Certainly nothing wrong with the kit supplied cockpit, except the silly molded on seat belts and the joystick.  The resin sets tend be a little better detailed and have sharper molding, some people are fine shelling out the extra money, some aren't.
