Academy ACA12515 Model Kit, Various

I find it infuriating that people do not research a product before buying and leave negative reviews. Ok this probably the most accurate assembly (yes, you have to build it). Although it is "snap fit" (great for younger modellers) this still builds into a great kit. The decals aren't the best being a little thick and don't really want to stick. The bombs aren't quite right but apart from that a good model. It's moulded in 3 colours and also has stick on markings, again great for those wanting a quick build or those new to the hobby.

While this can be built entirely as a snap kit, some of the more fiddly stuff like the missiles and racks really need a drop of glue to keep from falling off constantly if you are going to be handling itIt is also molded in color and can be assembled without painting and instead relying on the waterslide decals or stickers.That is probably as useful option for people who do not like to, or cannot paint for whatever reasonHowever, for the more devoted modeler, do not let the snap together/pre-colored aspect fool you. This is a very nicely detailed model and for those familiar with Bandai snap kits, this definitely rivals them in detailThe only issue I had with the kit was the decal coloring seemed a bit off for colors like red or the dark grey walkways. Not sure if there was any alignment issue or not. It might have just been my sheet though. The blacks/whites were perfectCockpit and ejections seats are nicely detailed and I did not feel the need to look for after market upgradesAlso, while I did not use the stickers, I found they made great paint masks. For example, I primed black, added the stickers where it should remain black stripes like along the fuselage behind the canopy and on the nose, then painted the base color and peel offA nice touch that many kits do not give is to build with gears up or gears down. Most kits are tooled for gears down and it is a pain to close up the landing gear doors, but this was engineered to easily do either optionLots of armament as well so you won't need any aftermarket supplemental weapons packs unless you want a different loadoutThe only real thing I think the kit is lacking is pilot figures and a flight stand for those wishing to build it in flightI wound up using resin pilots and a Hasegawa flight stand for the in flight pose

Un modelo con increíbles detalles de esta puntera marca. La ventaja poco vista de tener el fuselaje superior en una pieza evitando escalones en el montaje. Mi máxima puntuación al detalle y construcción.

I bought this for my 14 year old son who is an aviation lover. We really liked it a lot, it's the first time we've put together a scale model and it was very gratifying to be able to do the whole assembly process, there are some quite small and delicate parts but the challenge makes it much more interesting. A suitable kit for beginners like us.

Pocas piezas y precisas en en ensamblado. Muy pobre interior cabina, cristal cabina no permite hacerla abierta y el cristal con marcas del molde en zonas más visibles. Buena marca que no justifica su precio.

This is a superb kit. Although it is only a 1/72 scale model, its fine details rival that of my Tamiya 1/32 scale. I highly recommend this product to those who appreciate high-quality, highly detailed models.
