Looks like a impressive project :snoopy

Big model, lots of little parts. Excellent...

Is this one of their later releases or an older kit in a newer box ?

 

[moon puppy]

It's got 2013 stamped on the inside. I dry fitted the cockpit and it looked ok but the fuselage really sealed up nicely without any glue, had to pry it apart again
Honestly, doesn't need a replacement cockpit, really nice detail out of the box.

I figure I build up both the kit and the resin cockpit to see what fits better.

Gotta break out my Luftwaffe colors, haven't used them in a long time.

The one on the right looks a lot bigger, is it? :idonno

 

[moon puppy]

Closer to the camera I guess. They are the same size, almost looks like the resin one used the kit parts for a pattern.

Kit has low part count for the size Chris, not like the CyberHobby Emil I have. Of course no motor makes a difference.

 

[phantom II]

The cocpit structures look quite good. Hard to tell hom many parts there is .

Personally , I think the high parts counts is over valued if it does not add to the detail of the finished kit.

I have recently read some very positive comments on recent Revell kits and they're always on the affordale end of the spectrum .

Great choice and incredible VFM. This kit and the new Spit IX and brand new P-51D all are around the same price with excellent detail. Looks to me that Revell are aiming very precisely at Tamiya & Hasegawa and offering builders a large scale subject to build & paint quickly at about one-quarter to one-third the price of the Japanese kits.

Bob, you'll enjoy this one, it's a great kit and really 'sits' well. Looking forward.

Oh here it is. Forgot where I was building this. Sat down at the work bench tonight, had to find myway around again. Got RML66 painted and some wires highlighted. Maybe something photo worthy tomorrow.

Trying to get this cockpit to line up in the fuselage. Not really drop in ready.
