Alley Cat Bf 109 upgrade
While the new Revel Bf 109-G6 is a great improvement over the Older Hasegawa offering it does suffer some issues. Amongst them improperly sized cheek bulges and poor supercharger intake scoop. Also a poor chin scoop and bomb rack. The Spinner is the proper size and shape, but Revel made it strangely, Instead of gluing the base on a natural seam. It would also be very difficult to make a spiral or mask the spinner.
While any after market part will fit on this kit Alley Cat give you an all in one correction set. Everything you need to make your Revel kit better. They even give you a new seat back with no straps and a properly shaped seat bucket.
Packed in a nice sturdy cardboard box you get 4 pages of instructions and pictures printed on 2 double sided pages. A raft of resin and a metal template for making some none existent panels and doors.
I bought mine straight from http://www.a2zeemodels.co.uk/
The Alley Cat range is pretty nice and the resin is nice and crisp and well detailed. Armour guys can find interesting things in their Rhino brand. I dont think the price $24.30 is too shabby either. A very good deal and set.
