Default MC Models and Patrick Deslandes

I would like a TA-152 and had seen this kit.

http://mcmodels.free.fr/nouvelle_page_2.htm

It is the only full fiberglass kit I've been able to find. Besides being very expensive, does the kit or the company have any short comings I should know about? I saw somewhere on here that the lines of the kit were off, but I can't find the post now. From the pictures, I can't see it, but want to know before I get my heart all set on this kit and then find out they're hard to deal with, plane flies poorly, etc.

Thanks in advance!

I have tried to contact him about this plane, but haven't gotten a response back. Not sure if his site is active any longer. FYI - ESM will have a Fw-190D out this spring that should be nice in case you can't find a TA-152. It will be sold through VQ Warbirds and YT International. It's an 80" wingspan plane with molded panel lines in the fuse.

Yeah, the 190D seems to be slightly easier to find than the 152, and if I can't find a 152 kit that suits me, I'll probably try to pick up this kit from SiSt

The detail on those pictures are really amazing, but for some reason, I just really like the 152's long narrow wings.

Yeah the sist kits are nice, but WOW are they expensive. Nice detail though. I just got a composite P-47 from Jeff Miko at mnbigbirds.com.

Very nice fully detailed kit. He also is working on a Hellcat and P-51B. A little less cost since they aren't imported.

Yeah, for some reason the Allied planes don't do as much for me.  Probably because I've seen them more. 

Fliteskin will have a model 152 sometime this summer/spring.  It will have a fiberglass fuse and built up wing.  I may just wait for that and be happy to have a 152
