Rubbish Kit

[kitnut617]

I go along with Gary' comments, I've not seen a 'brand' new kit from Hasegawa in years.  And the spares service isn't that great either, I bought a RAF Thunderbolt II bubbletop sometime ago as it was supposed to have the HS prop included, but on opening the box, nothing of the sorts.  What was really funny about the whole thing the HS prop is shown on the instruction sheet with full painting instructions and decal placement.  I took the kit back to the shop and showed the owner who took down the particulars and he said he would get a replacement for me.

Well almost a year went by and I had long forgotten about it, (I even had bought an Aeroclub HS prop for it) when I got a phone call from the LMS to say my prop had arrived.  I went down to get and what did I get, a CE prop.

Surely you must have seen that 1/48 Japanese demo team kit (comes in Blue Impulse version and T-34 Mentor version)?  These are the guys running around at any airshow riding on bikes or motorcycles that have an airplane-like shell around the vehicle. The only ones crazy enough to purchase said kit probably inhabit this site. B)

Ah, these ones!  I've often seen these & thought it'd make a fantastic secret santa GB kit for someone!

I have to say quite honestly, no I haven't, at least not until I saw Simon' link to Hannants
