Type 40

Mine arrived as well - it's an amazing kit! The level of detail (especially around the cockpit) has to be seen to be believed... and don't stress about the much-maligned panel line across the upper fuselage: it's slightly too heavy, but I reckon it'll look almost perfect under some paint. The photos that were posted here seemed to exaggerate it's depth/width... it doesn't look like a major problem in the flesh. Well done GWH - we need an Su-30SM next! You know one of the best things about this kit? One of our own had a big hand in making it a reality. @y

You might be thinking of the Kittyhawk II/IIa... that's the RAF/Commonwealth equivalent of the P-40F/L. The P-40B/C was called the Tomahawk, the P-40D onwards was called the Kittyhawk. From what I understand, there's no difference between the two Airfix releases, except the decals... although I'm not 100% sure! The RAF/Commonwealth versions used .303 guns of course, and I seem to remember the pitot being different from the US versions? I have the Tomahawk boxing, and grabbed the Master set (http://www.master-model.pl/product/am-48-136.html) as well. I'll be doing an RAAF versio

Get off your high horse, for God's sake. You're a victim, we get it. It's absolutely clear to me as to why this forum is dying.

Another thumbs-up for AMUR Reaver; I've got a lot of their products (Su-27/30 nozzles, Su-35 nozzles, photoetch etc.), and the quality is absolutely first-class. The nozzles you've linked to are designed for the KH Su-35; hopefully they'll fit the GWH kit too, when it's released. I've ordered directly from the manufacturer each time, and had absolutely no issues; Rust (the owner) is really friendly (and quick to respond to emails), the items are packed really well, and the shipping time from Russia to Australia is lightning-fast. Faster than products shipped from the US or UK to

Hi Gunny, Don't know about resin sets, but I used two of the following Dream PE sets for my twin-seat Kinetic F/A-18B: http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=DMC48025 They're designed for the single-seat models (both "A" and "C") produced by Kinetic... so I just used two of them for my RAAF "B", and they worked really well. From what I understand, there isn't any noticeable difference inside the cockpit between Classic variants... well, not enough to make me lie awake at night, anyway! Hope this helps.

Scale Aircraft Conversions make metal landing gear for many different types... have a look here at Hannants: https://goo.gl/FyDA3q Looks like they make a set for the GWH F-15B/C/D... I'm not an expert on the Eagle's undercarriage, but perhaps this type would be the same as an E or I model? Then again, I'm guessing that since they carry heavier loads, perhaps the U/C is beefed-up more than the fighter versions? They do make a set for the Academy F-15I, so perhaps that could be an option for you... Hope this helps!

Couldn't agree more! The packaging is superb, as is the quality of the parts... not that I'd expect anything less from AMK! I also concur with the recommendation about Sincere Hobby: I'd never bought from them before this, but I definitely will do so again. Fast postage to Melbourne AU, items well-packed, and excellent customer service.

For what it's worth mate, I laughed myself silly when I saw it; I haven't been Rickrolled in ages! It's a dying art... B)

Ignore it; it's a RickRoll - i.e. not a video of the Blue Angels. The uploader (Thanks Micro - the early 2000s called and wants its meme back!) has removed it since, anyway. In case you don't know what a RickRoll is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rickrolling

Looks like another example of Kinetic reading the forums... didn't somebody suggest this a while ago on here? http://www.luckymodel.com/scale.aspx?item_no=SW-48029 8 x R-73 Archer 8 x R-27ER Alamo 8 x R-27ET Alamo ...and a bunch of pylons to boot. Looks like we'll be able to have a full set of pylons and missiles on our Kinetic Su-33s after all... with spare Alamos left-over to hang off our Iranian F-14s! ;)/> Bring on a US/NATO set: I'm sick of buying aftermarket resin ASRAAMs and they being warped beyond saving!

Delete reference: a quick clean-out of all my cookies did the trick!

I know I'm quick off the mark (!), but your pre-order link is redirecting to your C-45 Expeditor page: http://caracalmodels.com/cd48079.html.

Mate, you should reconsider - Japan is amazing! It's a completely alien culture to what you're used to at home, but that's half the fun; combine it with amazing infrastructure (300km/hr trains!), terrific food, and possibly the most courteous people on Earth, and you've got an experience you'll never forget. Get over there! :D/> Oh, and did I mention that pretty much every second shop is a hobby store? :woo:/>

Hehe - I went there for the first time a couple of years ago... I actually had to buy a second suitcase whilst I was there in order to get my haul home! Thank god kits aren't really heavy, just bulky: exceeding your luggage weight allowance can be expensive. Ask me how I know... ;)/>/>/>
