1/144 Creations Chaubet - Metal kit

1/144 Creations Chaubet - Metal kit

Jacques has been busy producing some new kits, i think these will enable you to fill some holes in your collection. Some people are a little shy of metal kits, but there is not too much to worry about, they are a little more sturdy than resin kits and once primed should present to many different problems to comprable resin kits.

The releases for may are as follows: Usually they can be ordered in kit for or built form, obviosuly built form costs more due to the extra man hours.

Currently there is a special offer: 5 bought kits : the 6th free one

• Nakajima A6M "Rufe"(Frençh)


• Nakajima A6M "Rufe" (Japan)


• Vought OS2U3 "Kingfisher"


• Blackburn "Skua"


• Grumman Jf5 "Goose"


• Breguet XIV

1/144 Sanka MK.B by Platz

======================

I have been waiting months for this kit, but each month the release date was later and later.

I got the "Sanka MK B" from Platz today! It is an interesting kit,The 1/144 kit is of similar size to the J7W1, detail is ok - but not great.

It has a solid canopy...., no clear plastic or even vac-form :( It also has some metal parts such as; under under carriage & propellers

Its not cheap relative to some other products..... you must really like the Anime movie, or want an interesting Luft'46 or Nippon'46 style product?
