Post by: GrahamB on April 27, 2015, 02:39:53 PM

I see in Hannants' newest arrivals listing there is this wonderful kit:

A 1/72 injection Gotha G.VII no less.

Tempting.

Cheers,

I already have it in my stash!Ordered at Hobby terra for about half the price(out of stock there now).This is a very nice kit,from the box art to the details it looks like a Roden kit.I would build it right away if I wasn't fed up a bit with applying lozenge decals since my Gotha WD7 build...Highly recommended!

Very interesting, and tempting...

Is the provided lozenge decal good, or will it need replacement from Aviattic?

Hi Squiffy,you can have a look at the box' contents on the Hobby Terra website.

Or:
(sorry I don't know how to cross link to another thread)
I took my own picture of the contents in the 'Latest Acquisition in your collection' thread on 8 April, reply #1362

I would say the decals look fine, but of course half the story is how well they go down.
When I get round to building my kit, I'm going to compare the Aviattic offering and have a think about whether to go for it.

Anyway, on the evidence of this kit, it's a very promising start from this new producer.
