Post by Cherrylock »

it is a new kit from AMP, extrem small but very nice

there are some gaps, but the original one was foldeble and was transported in the trailer of a jeep, so this is real..

Well, there is something you don’t see a lot Of! Nice!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Man I love those 50’s/60’s concept vehicles like this. Way ahead of their time. Engineers pushing the limits of what could be built. Once again, CL has given us a seldom seen subject, and very nicely!

this is my first AMP kit, so can only comment this kit:
+ precut mask set include
+PE parts as part of the design not as a update with grinding
- no seat belts
+option of landing gear wheel or tube
+ 3 different markings with interessting date
+ good details
-some fit problems, no big thing (like short run kit normal)
+good decals
in germany it is not a cheap model (32 Euro) but it is a good kit over all and it is a seldom kit with new tools without a big market, is it ok, for me yes, it is a model on a show or forum to discuss upout the origin aircraft and the details...it is interessting an AMP will do more of this seldom choppers
