The tan/brown ones were single boxings...the greys were in the "JoyPack"(3 kits...no decals or inst).Manny1943 wrote:I love that BIG box of 109s and wish I knew why there are two different colors of plastic in it...
That has got to be the most colorful trios of 109s I've seen...the cals look really crisp and bright ob these MOFOs...Fermis wrote:They're not great, but pretty decent. A bit fiddly in spots (but, this is 1/72 after all!).Bish wrote:Nice looking build there. How do you rate those AZ kits. They have quite a selection of 109's and I have been eyeing some up, but no idea what the kits are like.
The only real issues...you have to trim down the rear radiator parts (noted in inst), or the top wing half won't fit right...and the pit is a bit too wide at front and rear bulkheads...gotta trim those down.
Control surfaces (except rudder, molded seperate) are molded in neutral position...I removed them and repositioned mine. Canopy is a one piece deal, I smashmolded a new center section, and cut off the front and back pieces from the kit part.
I really dig the marking options they have come up with...tons of good stuff...and the have really good decals too!
Each kit comes with 3-4 options, they also offer a "JoyPack" of 3 kits, no decals. The only issue with going that route though, is that you only have one set of stencil/data markings...a healthy decal spares stock will come in handy!
I can say that I'd recommend these kits!
Here's the first 3 I did...
The decals are quite good, in every aspect...only needing just a little extra help getting down into the panel lines. Micro-sol does a little bit, a swipe with a thumb nail does the rest. I'd call em slightly above the average!Manny1943 wrote:
