Thanks!

I picked up the "combat" one and photo etched set. The kit itself looks very nice.
The photo etch look nice but is really a very small sheet, personally I think they should have just put it the kits, instead of trying to milk a few more bucks out of the modelers.

Hi Michal

Thanks for the News! I'd missed this release completely, but ordered one of each kit today from HLJ, where they look really good value. Being on a tight budget, I couldn't justify going for the etched accessories too (it's out of stock at HLJ anyway) as they're over half the price of the kit itself...

All the best

Oh, me want! (I still have my 1/48 Ohka by Hawk/Testors -- tinted clear 'rocket plumes' and all! )

They are very beautiful and extremely accurate, but the price is just insane... $70 +?!?

They tempt me to try to convert a Tamiya Betty into a G4M2, a colossal and nearly impossible task...

Hi Gaston

I don't know where you saw that price, but they are about $27 at HLJ...

All the best

I paid $55.99 for the kit, and $29.99 for the photo etched set.
I paid about $75.00 for the KORA 1/48th resin kit- and it comes with just about the same photo etched set. (It's also a beautifully molded resin kit.)

Of course as most know, I'm not a rivet counter, and believe if it looks like an F-4-- it must be an F-4. So I'll just build them, and enjoy it along the way.

The box-art for the unpowered one is a bit dodgy.. How could an unpowered glider with tiny wings get above the mother plane?? If the mother plane was a small single seater and went into a power dive I could see it, but a lumbering twin-engine bomber.. "I don't think so TIm"

I guess you didn't hear about the economical crisis around the world yet.

I also think that such a small fret should be added to the kit.
