Comments

Bernhard Schrock
I've always been curious. Therefore, I was curious on the comparison between the MRH of JS and Reskit.

The parts are printed in a very stable cages, which provides good protection during transport. It is important to take your time when separating the parts.

The absolute highlight is the printed hydraulic and electrical lines. Absolutely filigree and authentic. At first glance, it seems to be a challenge to keep the lines undamaged until the final assembly. In my case this was not a problem, as the material was not completely cured (very good). So everything could be processed very well.
All 5 different types of blade joints are designed correctly.

The division of the parts is slightly different than with JS. There are fewer number of parts, the assembly is easier and faster. However, this product does not offer the flexibility of JS, f.e. installing the blades with angle of attack (flight position).

I like the building instructions and the small sheet with the colored symbols for the individual joints very good.

The only suggestion for improvement is the connection flanges for the blades. The star-shaped flange with the ten screws is only half modeled.

The blade is very easy to attach, but you can immediately see the difference between the two half's of the star / flange: excellent detailed half of RK and the half of the kit without details.

Summa summarum: very highly recommended.
