While getting to a complete airframe on the 1/144 Miniwing Nesher is probably easier than either the Cougar or the Texan, it's the rest of the parts that place it third on my list for this set of Miniwing releases in terms of ease of assembly. The ALPS decals are for two Israeli schemes, both with very colorful yellow and black triangles on its flying surfaces. There are 27 pieces of resin and two vac-formed canopies. Paint the cockpit and ejection seat, add the seat and cockpit decals into the cockpit-hole, and you can continue with creating a 1/144 Nesher. Since this is a delta-wing design, you have no horizontal tail surfaces to deal with, and the vertical tail surfaces are part of the single-piece fuselage. Glue the wing in place, add the intakes and there you have it. One Nesher. Yes, there is a separate exhaust, but I have yet to figure out if you can add this at the end and paint it separately. It depends on the amount of gaps, I suppose.
The other parts I alluded to in the first paragraph are a lot of smaller pieces. Main landing gear, wheels, gear-doors, along with the single-piece nose gear/wheel and separate nose gear doors. In addition, there are missiles and their launch rails, bombs and their bomb racks and external fuel tanks and their mounting brackets. There are more pieces that are smaller with this kit than both the Cougar and the Texan. Adding these will slow down the build a little - definitely slower than again, both the Cougar and Texan. Conclusion Another winner from Miniwing, albeit one that will take a little extra care than some of the others. Once finished, though, it should look stunning in the multiple-color camo and yellow/black triangles. Thanks again go to Miniwing for the review kit. |
