Being Italeri it's possible these are Cartigraf but I didn't see any trademark on the sheet to answer that. There's a lot of glass on the KA-6 so a good mask job will be essential.ĭecal Sheet - Solid looking decals with LOTS of options. So this will be a nice change.Ĭlose up of "A" - Good mix of detail but shallow rivets.Ĭlose up of Sprue "B" - Again, solid amount of detailĬlear parts - Nice raised detail that will make masking easier. Most 1/72 don't even provide the option for dropped flaps. One thing I'm going to enjoy about this kit is building it with wings folded. ![]() Sprue "B" - Wings, pylons, and antenna/pitot tubes. Sprue "A" - Main body, undercarriage, seats, and cockpit: So far this kit seems to be missing that type of flaw. That's not something I enjoy in 1/72 and adds more frustration than anything. You see that with some kits where, for example, a simple Sidewinder missile is 3 parts or you have to attatch the fins separately. By that I mean unnecessarily adding parts in an already small scale. Just a quick scan it doesn't seem like anything is overly engineered. Which is about what you expect from 1/72. Only two main sprues plus one clear part. I'll most likely rescribe most lines and for sure deepen the rivets with a needle in a pin vise. Panel lines seem crisp but rivet detail is shallow. ![]() ![]() Not the soft plastic you get on the new tooled Airfix kits. So far seems to be a solid plastic like found on Hasegawa kits. Heard good things about this tooling but it is over 25 years old (1994) so we will see how it turns out! This build log can be found on my website: īuilding up my first Italeri kit.
