Skyediamonds1985 | 03-Feb-16 18:20 | Found out the real aircraft wingspan measures 26 feet 7 inches, but the kit's wingspan is 24." What's even a bit more "interesting" is the kit provides decals for the fuselage roundels that are slightly bigger than the scale drawing. I carefully placed the ruler such that you can easily see the difference in dimensions. Had to order custom decals from John Brantley. |
David Duckett | 04-Feb-16 04:52 | This, too, is common. Guillows has been trashed here and other sites for many things over the years but nothing has ever changed. Decals many times bear no relation to the box art, at all, but that will never change. Try suggesting it to them. Decals for the Mustang kits are especially wrong. Often the decals colors do not match when being made so you might see white where it shouldn't be. The good thing is that when made correctly Guillows decals are great and they will gladly replace faulty ones. Most of my models have at least one. |
Skyediamonds1985 | 04-Feb-16 19:37 | Thank you DD for clearing that up. I've experienced some of Guillow's decals many times in the past, but had no idea that it was widespread in the manner you described. Hopefully, my order for custom decals through John Brantley will come through. Thank you DD. |
