Buy/Swap Fujimi 1:72 Alpha Jet

Ian the Kiwi Herder · July 27, 2008, 12:47:38 AM

As the title says.... Not really bothered which boxing, but if you're looking to unload a teeny-tiny Fujimi Alpha Jet, then I pwomise I'll look after it

...... maybe !

Swaps or money, your choice.

Thanks folks.

Ian
(would consider an Airfix one if available....)

Ian,

There's a guy on ARC with a Fujimi AJ for sale for $5.

out of interest, is the Fujimi kit better than the Airfix or Heller ones?

Ian, I have the Revell pointy nose version if you'd like. I think it's a reboxing but I don't know the orginal tool.

Bad points..... poor wing/fus joint but nothing that a little PSR wont cure, ejector seats pure conjecture - look like they belong in a conservatory !, nose profile a wee bit thin.

Good points..... recessed panel lines, good overall shape - apart from the nose, very clear canopy, finesse of detail especially on the undercarriage.

On the whole (and this is just an 'opinion') I prefer the Fujimi kit to the Airfix/Heller one - but there isn't much in it.

Thanks Brad - may take you up on that..... I'll give it a few days and see what happens. Thanks

Thanks Ian, I don't need to go find Fujimi one then.
