Has anyone else built the A-Model 1;72 Diamond DA42 aircraft model? I am building one for my son who did his instrument rating on them.
The kit is very disappointing with some significant quality and fit issues due to poor injection moulding.
I think it will end up being acceptable but it will take a lot of filling and sanding. I am curious to know if anyone else has experience of it. I can’t find any reviews.

Hello all. I am looking for a Hercules 1/144 model kit. The only one I have found so far is the Academy kit (1/144 C-130J-30 Super Hercules, 1999-present 1263). I have no experience of Academy kits and there seem to be no reviews on here. It's a relatively cheap kit so I am wondering it is really old and basic. Judging by the instructions I have downloaded, it seems fairly basic.
Does anyone have experience of this kit or Academy kits in general? TIA.

I plan to build an A380 in 1/144 too. The trouble is that my 320 is in EasyJet Neo livery which is a pig to paint. I also have to get it right because my son flies them and will spot any discrepancies 🙂
Getting the correct orange is proving to be a trial.

If you need to use putty, I suggest trying out Vallejo putty, which isn't toxic the way way Tamiya putty is afaik. Make sure to best clean up excess putty, or use masking tape, to avoid putty going hard in places that would require more cleanup.
A sanding sponge can be cut with scissors into smaller bits, to get in between details.

Yes, it will need some filling and sanding to the joints. I usually use Humbrol filler thinned with liquid poly and applied between masking tape with a cocktail stick and sanded with sanding sponges. I will try the Vallejo putty next time I am shopping 😀
Thanks for your suggestion.

George, this particular instance of the kit is new but the moulds are indeed over 50 years old. This one is pretty good actually. The only problem is that there is no glazing because the moulds are lost.

Guy, the kit is very good. I can't recall any fit problems and there was very little flash. There are plenty of VERY small parts so beware the carpet monster. It's sometimes slightly tricky to figure out what goes with which option of two.
There are some internal parts that I don't quite see the point of, given there is no real view of the interior, including shells. The tracks are the rubber band variety which was fine for my first tank. It was a fun build. If I was bothered about the crew, a better aftermarket set would be a good option but I didn't want to ramp up the cost.
My next tank is a 1/48 Tamiya Challenger II so I will be interested to compare the scale and the kits.

Very prominent seams will have to be sanded and filled and sanded and filled etc. etc.

I really must learn to be patient. I didn't leave the primer long enough to cure so when I tried to rub down the filled bits, it went down to the red plastic and I have more filling to do. So, re-primed and leaving it 24 hours this time.

There I am the absolute oposite. "mhh - the acrylic paint is drying for 6 days now - better give it one more day just to be on the safe side".
