Treehugger It is unfortunate, or perhaps, improper I think, to have the graphic for this kit, having text in it, also saying something about not being a kit, but perhaps a cockpit only kit.

Wim van der Luijt not quite, if you bother to check the website, you can see that there is a version with a full interior and one with just the cockpit details

Treehugger I just realized I misunderstood the text. It seem to mean, no landing gear, no internal stuff, just a canopy on the inside having been modeled, if I understand this correctly.

Toshihiko Shimizu There are landing gear parts in this kit. I wanted to mean that middle and rear fuselage are empty. I have no inside data of this awacs type.

Toshihiko Shimizu It is 3D fabricated so there is texture on the surface. Smoothing surface is necessary. By using putty or resin coating, texture elimination is easier than sanding only. But it is not suitable for just assemblers.
At the very least, I think an extra label to warn consumers or something ought to be used, for crudely printed 3D models.
Apparently, this (and other recently added kits) is in fact a 3D printed kit with the typical uneven surface known from 3D printing, not resin, not injection molded. I think, this is either maybe a novely that warrant extra attention re. this website, or, I think, I as a modeler have no interest in such imo crude looking kits, but maybe later if things improve greatly. This kit is also apparently sold via eBay.

Wim van der Luijt If you don't post this on the admin wall, the one for feature request is best, it will probably go unnoticed in the stream of posts
