More progress on the Moebius kit. I'm making it so that the canopy can be opened or closed, I made a hinge device for it that required some surgery.
Looking over this kit though, it's such garbage. I get that Moebius is maybe trying to price their kits lower, but even for a $25 kit the quality is atrocious. They must outsource their work to China too, because the parts say made in China, which is why the tooling is such garbage and has such poor fit. They must manufacturer the molds as well, instead of Moebius themselves making them.
Look at this for example too, the circled red area is a panel line that should keep running all the way to the edge of the fighter, but for some reason stops in the middle of the panel for no reason at all. Chalk it up to shitty chink machinery making a bad tool, and leaving it uncorrected. The pilot's seat is also laughable bad, I've seen far superior detail in your average $5.00 1/72 kit. It's also inaccurate compared to prop photos / CGI renders of the Mk. VII.
I mean honestly, I'd gladly pay 2-3x the price to just get a well-detailed, quality kit of these same subjects. Too bad such a cheap company got the Battlestar license.
