| Showtime is here! Boy were you right Pappy. What a nice plane. There was a little gloss black overspray around the port side of the radome but it was easily removed by taping it off with that nice blue tape and a little acetone on a q-tip. You were right about the pad printing too. No decals here and everything is straight and true. No wonky landing gear! I read that HM is making one too now but I can't imagine letting this go. It's not even as big as I thought. Fits on the shelf just fine really. Very pleased and as you say, highly recommended! |
I got the HM Showtime today after much deliberation and wanted to post some photos of it next to the HM one. Here goes.
The FM has more tampo printing but the HM is more finely painted (notice the nose for both). Gray vs. black no skid. The FM is more matte finish, the HM glossy.Gear and canopy options with the HM. The front glass is blue on the HM and the FM is clear. Fm wings are swept up more. Fm gear doors have red paint on edges, HM is white. I like the red if it's right I don't know. I'm keeping both for now.
