More Miniwing Releases!

More Miniwing Releases!
==================
Two more kits coming your way from Miniwing!

One an interesting French item, not typically seen in 1/144 -

The Dassault Super Mystere, I think this has the making of a sleek looking aircraft and has a nice set of decals.

Another, this has been done in various Gashopon, and was done by Fe-Resin, however I notice some details that have changed so it could be a remodel rather than a reissue?

1-144 Fi-103 (V-1) (Miniwing)

1-144 Fi-103 (V-1) (Miniwing)
====================
A nice little kit, with an interesting twist of having the transport trolley.
The kit is straight forward, and the trolly is a very finely cast - i suggest you have a fresh set of blades to cut through these and a steady hand!

Interesting kit, the V-1 Looks to be well proportioned, no decals are provided.

available now

1-144 Grumman XF101F-1 Jaguar (Miniwing)

1-144 Grumman XF10 F-1 Jaguar (Miniwing)
================================
A new "eary jet" from Miniwing, this experimental aicraft as one of the first sucessful swing wing designs. This provide effecttive, even if little else of the aircraft did!

Minigwing have produced a nice kit of the unusual item, allowing for straight or swept wing, I imagine most people will still go for the swing wing option! The resin is freshlu cast and the detail crisp and clean. A seperately moulded ejection seat and accompanying cockpit decal should add detial in an often over looked area!

It comes with striking decals from Kura at Y-Kraft and they help make for a striking kit.
