Here is my latest purchase. I am impressed with this kit, have never purchased a GWH kit, it does have a couple of annoyances though which I will explain as we go through.
( Right click and select view to see the full sized photos)
It has a rotating top turret
Moveable control surfaces as shown by ''no glue'' icons.
Pe air brakes open or closed.
Flattened tyres.
Did GWH get alot of 'Flak' about their previous P61 kits? seems by the box info this has been addressed
The sprues.
Very crisp and clean, looks like very minimal clean up required, (double sprues not shown)
The kit guns look very nice indeed
Glasswork is pretty nice although the curved section - 3rd row 1st piece is a little distorted, not all that clear,
Future coat may improve? but not too bad
GWH gives four pieces for open or closed rad flaps - nice
the new opaque glass nose - beautifully packed and protected from damage
the big sprue!
broken down so you can see the details better
The Pe
supplied decals
flash 'enhanced' to show the thin line of carrier film
Large pic - 2000 pixels shows the writing nice and clear
Supplied mask sheet
Two versions
1st annoyance - let down - no rotating props - will have to fix that! or use a prop blur.
2nd annoyance - let down - no supplied counter weight as shown on instruction sheet
coloured sheet in the box
And a very nice bonus - a 14'' x 8 1/2 '' coloured print that begs to be mounted into a picture frame.
If this kit goes together as good as it looks - well done GWH.
another nice touch is all sprue bags are resealable.
Paint callouts are a tad confusing as GWH show an old GSI Creos corp colours - EG Olive Drab=C12
where as GSI is now owned/bought out by Mr Hobby? who's colours all state H letters.
And a question/help -
what is Zinc Chromate type 1 colour code GSI C351 and Zinc Chromate Yellow C352 - I think the later is Mr Hobby/Aqueous H 58 ??
All in all I think this is a great kit - I'll be starting this one in Feb, you will see my thoughts as I build this beast!
