Roden 144th C-124 Arrived today, June 27 2012 at 10:14 PM		Jaime Longo (Login 6thccu) HyperScale Forums from IP address 98.165.54.63


Ok I just gave it the once over to me it looks ok but I havent checked it against the Welsh or Anigrand kits or the Ginter Book yet, one thing I noticed was that the fuselage portholes/windows have raised outlines to show you were to position the porthole decals kind of reminded me of them there Olden Days of Modeling, also there are a number of parts not used like the wingtip heaters, vents & what looks like whole nose door assembly that I dont know what youd use for unless you cut off the closed doors & then cut it apart to build them open but theres no ramps Etc. theres also what looks like two spars, maybe Roden changed the molds during the tooling. As for the decals the MATS Globes I think should be replaced, [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]
