    What is the best engine correcting set for Academy A-10C?

    in Jet Modeling

    Posted · Edited by PlasticWeapons

    As mentioned above, the Sierra Hotel Models A-10 resin intakes for the 1/48 Academy kit are nice. The DEF and Wolfpack sets are nice too but the Sierra Hotel ones were designed by modelers who have worked with the aircraft. The print quality is top notch.

     

    I also have the PHR set but had issues with the print quality (broken fan blades or short shot prints). 

     

    I’d go with either DEF or Wolfpack if that’s what you like but for accuracy and print quality, go for the SHM set if you can afford it.

    Sure would be nice if somebody made some better looking 1/48 ADEN guns for the Kinetic Harriers. Just saying! :>)

    :woot.gif: Drat...!!! I'm Gwen Phoenix, PW. How come you might not ship to Argieland? :hmmm:There's a whole market for your bits down here. Not just me, but another six or seven fellas that are interested in these here 1/48 Aden guns. Say yes.

    Cheers,

    Sorry Gwen, you’re confusing my reply with Jonathan Smith’s original post. He’s the guy with the 3D printed Aden gun pods. 😉 I only shared my photo of the set I just bought from him on eBay. 
     

     

    Hobby shops near Travis AFB?

    No more hobby shops near the base, Nick’s Hobby Shop (formerly Don’s Hobby) closed up shop in the early 2000s. There is a gaming shop near the Michael’s store across from Solano Mall but not much model stuff.

     

    The Loose Caboose would be a fun trip to make, just note that Bottle Rock will be happening on May 24-26 so expect lots of traffic in and out of Napa during those days. 

    AV-8B to GR. 5?

    If you can find the out-of-production AMRAAM Resin conversion (released in the late 1990s) for the Monogram kit, you can make either a GR.5 or 7. They used to have the Harrier Plus conversion as well.

    As I can see you have just issued intake for F-2A.

    Nice, but I am affraid those outward intake cover looks a little bit more coarse then Hasegawa's one. Or maybe it is just picture?

    Have you got maybe better picture of those parts?

     

     

     

     

    I’m sorry, I don’t understand your question regarding the F-2 intakes.

    Yup! I received some test shots last week to check the intake fit to the kit and the resin fits perfectly. 

     

    I have seamless F-16 NSI and MCID intakes in progress for the Hasegawa kits. I have huge stash of those and thought it’s about time they get some love again since the Seamless Suckers aren’t available anymore. 

     

    Seamless Tamiya F-16 intakes are on the bench too but I need to finish at least one Nats build before I can concentrate on the intake projects.
