... having found A-Model kits to be a cut below standard in casting quality. I have only (mostly) built one, the Yak-7, which was okay. |

I don't have the kit either but Glen Porter did a review on HS a while back and he pretty much agrees with what Big Kahona said. If you can get it cheap I guess it's a good alternative but if you want to spend the money the Fine Molds kit will fit better and and be an easier build. |

Actually, I think A-model looked closly at the FM kits when they designed their 109F and although it's short-run the parts clean up pretty well. In the cockpit and engine there is a lot more detail than FM give you. I also bought the 109E and K and they were crap. :angry: Heres a picky of the F

Thanks as always for the replies, and the pic. Hannants have them discounted at the moment. |

I think that might be 23 per kit with three kits available. |
