Hasegawa 1/48th Ki-43II 'Oscar' from the CBI Theatre

Hasegawa 1/48th Ki-43II 'Oscar' from the CBI Theatre Lovely kit, let down by the decals which simply didn't want to work - in the end I only used the 2 tail numbers and masked and sprayed the rest. Nice bit of stress relief after the problem with the trumpeter harrier . Build thread is available  here Peter

Poor kit packaging, and replacement parts

Really pissed off with Trumpeter at the moment - got to the stage of fitting the canopies to my 1/32nd Harrier, opened up the packaging and found this : All that from a sealed bag, still with all the parts wrapped in bubble wrap. I've contacted Trumpeter directly and via facebook with no response other than being told to arrange to make my own copy of the parts - bit difficult with clear parts.  So i'm left with an unbuildable £80 kit, and a £19 cockpit and £15 of Photo etch - not happy, and will be avoiding Trumpeter kits now.
