[Rosie the riveter question]

Petr recomends the yellow and black handle tools for 1/32. I have the pdf guides if you want I can E-mail them to you.HTH Mark

I saw the other day that there are quite a few sizes of ROsie the riveter tools. There are two different tools that do the rivets for 1/32 scale. One is the "white line" which does 1/32 and 1/48 and there is one that does just 1/32, but that is a little bigger. Currently, my only 1/32 builds are a Hase 109G and a Fw-190A. I'm hoping that someone can steer me in the right direction...

Thanks guys!

[Aires F/A-18F Super Hornet cockpit set Mini-reveiw]

The set is #4279 I got mine from Spruebrothers.No it does not have the ACS but the instuctions show options for early and late versions of the instrument panels.Heres another look from the side. The height of the seats and the rear IP is perfect.Remember all I have done is removed the casting blocks.Buy this one with confidence.HTH Mark

Almost finished with this one. :wacko: Any input or suggestions welcomed.Thanks for looking..Mark

[Academy F/A-18 1/32 intake and LEX / Shape - flaw?]

I noticed the same things.The LEX shape is easy to fix.The intakes are another story. Mark

Hello all,

I really think that kit is absolutely great, and a dream to have come true finally, especially for all Hornet fans.

Two things I stumbled across this splendid kit though are the shape of the intakes and the LEX.

The intakes look to me as if the necking is too close, especially at the lower part of the tube. Another thing is the shape of the LEX's edge just below the LEX fence, forward of the Leading edge flap. On the real thing, this looks smoother or more rounded than on the kit.

Can anyone confirm my observation? Again, I really love this kit, and still have to build one, it's just those two subjects that I was always wondering about, when looking at all those gorgeous models build by this outstanding communities members.

Well, if those turn out as real flaws, correcting them would be quite challenging, especially the intakes :)

Thanks for your feedback!

Can someone tell me where I can order these spures? Thanks in advance. Mark

[Tamiya 1/32 F-16C Barak]

I have done more work on my F-16.I build at a slow pace but this is the best kit I have ever built.

[Academy F/a-18c "iraqi Freedom"]

My Hornet looked just like yours before I filled the seams.I would recomend the sheet plastic shim and superglue method on the LEX and intake seams.I feel your pain my big bug fought me every step of the way.I will finish it after my IAF F-16 is done.Good luck...Mark

[X-tracolor]

I used Testors Model Master thinner and it worked great.I was amazed at the nice tight lines I could spray with Xtracolor and the tin I used was at least 10 years old.Great paint.HTH Mark

[Tamiya F-16CJ fit problems...]

I had the same problem.I glued mine from the inside with superglue and lots of finger pressure.Still needed some sanding and rescribing.HTH Mark
