Flyhawk amazes me. The detail inside the launches is wonderful. Their molding could hardly be improved with slide molding.

LOL...it would be hard to improve on these kits! The barrel openings is nothing really...i completely forget about it when you look at all the detail overall.

One BIG improvement they could make for this kit would be to release it in 1/350!

Looks like another solid Flyhawk collectable. My only complaint is that they're producing these when I'm already getting too old for many more 1/700!

What Dave said.

Unlike Biggles I have already reached the point I cannot see well enough for 1/700 scale that fine.

Cheers

It would be fantastic to see them produce something...even one kit in 1/350! If they are close to what they have in 1/700 scale details, the kit would be incredible! The whole seeing thing....yeah, not getting any easier the longer we build!!
