What is the kit like? How does it compare to the Heller kit I wonder?

Well, you probably know the Heller kit so, i'll just say that IMO, detail is better in all aspects.
Don't know about how accurate the shape and dimensions are and i've never built either kit so i can't comment on that... the Tarangus kit does seem to be a bit more complicated to build but that's expected as it is a more detailed kit. Still, there are some aspects that may deter one from getting it but this review covers everything and is a good help to decide which kit to buy. https://www.modellversium.de/kit/artikel.php?id=11159
I already had the Heller kit but i wanted another one for a different idea so i decided to buy this one to have both options at hand.

It's a lovely looking aeroplane, no matter which kit you have.  ;D

I really must build one of my Heller ones.........................
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Indeed, it's another beautiful Swedish machine and which kit anyone chooses to build is irrelevant.  :mellow:

Review video on the Stolly. He's going to build it for his channel too:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Just received direct from Blackdog



I only ordered the Buccaneer box with the intent of adding the radar to the P.1121, but looking at it, I may change my mind about that. The box of the detail set for the Tracker was a complete surprise. I have one in the stash, I believe, and it could do with the detail set if I have not got too far with it.

its smaller than the Tamiya Brachiasur box,  and around the same as the Revell 1:48 Euro fighter or CH 53A box.
a goodly size, but not awe inspiringly massive like a Tamiya 1:350 Nimitz kit   :wacko:
