I am not gonna lie....I was pretty excited when I opened up a mystery box and found this kit!(along with 1/48 A-4M, for the next review!)
While I do like the looks of the Typhoon, I probably would not have bought the kit...other than for a good deal.
AND...it has markings for Ace Combat...the only video game that I ever got into.
Little side story...years ago, we were staying with friends when our house sold a lot quicker than expected or planned for. I rented Ace Combat 4 and got hooked on it. After the move, I bought a PS2 along with Ace Combat 4, and later 5 and Zero....then later versions of the Play Station came out and the newer games only worked with the later consoles...BOOOOOOO. A/C4 is still my favorite...GREAT game!!!
Anyway, back to the kit.
Looking at it in the box, I can't find anything to complain about, and was quite surprised to find a plethora of under wing stores...lots of options! I know Hasegawa likes to only give you fuel tanks, forcing you to buy separate weapons sets...that business model makes me order from someone else, just out of spite.
The box is PACKED full!!!
They even include a stand, to pose the model "in flight", witha couple different mounting options.
Marking options for 2 different schemes, with 4 different #'s for each scheme...giving a total of 8 different airframes.
