I've built one too and still have 2 in the stash. But I'm waiting on a XIV conversion before I build them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't beat Tamiya. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Phil. Yes, buttoned up tight. The removable panels are too gimmicky for my tastes. I either button 'em up or leave 'em off altogether. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for highjacking your thread JohnB. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 depends on how confident you are with your skills I suppose?! I have the set mastered by Radu Brinzan and it looks pretty sharp up close, but not sure my skills could mate it with anything and it not be obvious it was a hack job hence i will be using the cheap as chips Revel IX! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
