reeftaAnyone built it yet? I am very worry of throwing away that much money at revl kit after their F18 screwup

Stephen GI'm almost finished. Would have finished before now, but one of the intake cones was a weird shape and needed a replacement.
My honest opinion? It's better than standard Revell fare. But - their design team (who have made clear progress) is being let down by their factory and plastic quality, in my opinion. Some things not picked up on in most reviews:
- The panel lining can be VERY shallow in places and any sanding will result in the need to re-scribe, and in a couple of instances the lines just randomly stop...
- There are some bad sink marks I've come across in a few of the parts
- If you look carefully you will start to see little dents, marks and deformities in the plastic. At least mine had around half a dozen.
There are other things about, but... it is a Blackbird and it is better than any other option. The fit is decent, the only filling I had to do was the engines to the fuselage. You do get a decent stand for it. The decals are fine. And there aren't that many pieces, so it's a quick build with a big end product.
Would I buy another Revell kit on the back of the experience? Probably not.
That's my two cents!

Kevin JohnsonYeah it looks like it might need rescribing in places. I don't have any problems doing that, really, but this kit is fairly expensive and more effort could have been made.

reeftaI almost finished mine
Its not a good kit by any means, so many seamlines just about everywhere to fill, sand and re-scribe.
For around 100$ kit i would have expect a much better kit

Erik LeijdensHave this kit too, looks good in the box. Busy with the Italeri/Testors YF-12 at the moment, wonder how it compares to the Revell SR-71 when building it.

Thorsten UngerechtsMaybe big thumps? Happens to me sometimes. But when I see it I change it and put it to the wishlist.

Gerry SinksHello new guy here.
Has anyone heard anything new about this release?
Maybe delayed due to COVID?
