Thanks!

I may be a little too critical, but the test kit nose profile looks a little off...as in wide and rounded, when the "G" model nose looks to be narrower and "sharper" in profile. Am I off-base here? The box artwork appears to present a more accurate nose profile if I'm not mistaken. Unless there was a difference in nose contours between the "H" and "G" models. It looks like the contours are closer to a "D" or "F" model.

Full Disclaimer: All the comments are based on the test fit pictures, so the angle of the photos may be giving me distorted impressions.

I really can't wait until these are released! My Dad worked on the EW and self-protection systems on some of these ladies. I just hope I am wrong and the nose (and other) contours are correct.

Cheers and All the Best!

I totally agree with your observations, kinda disappointed about that. The nose is quite distinct in its appearance. Hopefully this is not the final production design. I'll pass on this if this is what we can expect. I actually pulled out the older italiari/ertl/amt out last night to reexamine.
