Mr Matt Foley

By the time Chris worked out all of the details to convert the Trumpy kit, it would most likely be cost prohibitive. I just can't see Zactomodels doing any such thing. My suggestion would be to branch out more into 1/48 scale.

Exquisite paint and detail work. Thanks for sharing this it is very inspirational and parts of the technique(s) can be used on on other Sukhoi exhausts.

Something to think about during your build.........

Not very good ones I'm afraid but here are some from Zacto's Gallery Page 2 down by the bottom of the page. Some day I'll set something up as a photo area or booth and put my Nikon to serious use.

Amen to that. I pumped a lot of Zacto/Aires et.al into my Su-27. The average builder at a show wouldn't know the difference I'm afraid.

Ok, ok......I do enjoy the drama....and yes AMK has been responsible for a good portion of that on ARC.

I have to unsubscribe from this topic. Too many notifications. Someone please send me a PM when it is finally released and the rivet counting is complete. Ugh.

I was wondering the same thing

Thank you Sir! I'm stoked to see what you've got coming next. As for the "Plugs" I used thin sheet styrene on the inside with a two part modeling putty (the type for figure making) to level it on the outside. It worked out ok, not the easiest solution, but it sure would have been nice to have something from the manufacturer to at least make it an option. I'm using the Kitty Hawk pods on this build to just move it off the shelf. The Pods look beautiful. I'll be one of your first orders for a pair as well as some 1/32 goods.

Check me in as a spectator.

Looking great Chris!! I know you're busy but have you had a chance to think about other improvements for the kit? New Pylon stubs would be great.

Jim, Do you have any intakes in that aftermarket tease? If so will you sell separately?

So now the Echo is available and in the wild from GWH. This thread has some outstanding information regarding changes to the airframe, avionics and cockpits. I thought I would give it a bump.

GBU-53 I believe will do what you refer to Ken.

Where are you located?
