bikerider replied to Kurt H.'s topic in General Discussion
Hmmmm….. maybe. Haven’t done a group build on here in a while but I’ve got a Kinetic F16 in the stash somewhere. -
Hasegawa 1:48 F-15C Eagle, 71st TFS, Desert Storm
bikerider replied to Benner's topic in The Display Case
Makes sense, ya. I'll give it a go. I've looked for aftermarket intakes that are dropped without much luck. I work on a pretty tight budget anyway, so tend not to use too much AM stuff. Thanks for the tip -

Looks great.... I love Eagles. I notice you dropped the intakes. I have my own F-15 models I'd like to do that on so wondering if you can give some insight regarding how you did yours? Thanks! -
Bump for DonG. Great guy to deal with.

1/48 FA-18A-D Legacy Hornet - Hasegawa or Kinetic?
bikerider replied to Joe Hegedus's topic in Jet Modeling
The Kinetic kit includes features the Hasegawa kit doesn't, like engine intakes, refuelling probe and the option to model the wings folded. Those features, plus the way the nose and windscreen connect, caused some headaches for me. There are solutions out there for making those steps easier, I just didn't find them before I built mine. Otherwise I would say the construction of the two is pretty similar. Both build into nice finished models. If I build another Hornet it will be Kinetic though. -
While it's true the rural and remote parts of Canada (a huge part of the land) do have challenges getting infrastructure because of the high costs building infrastructure of any kind to those regions, the vast majority of the population - 80% according to the most recent Statistics Canada info - live in urban areas. Even of that remaining 20% I would guess only a small percentage are not near a larger urban centre where connection to high speed internet is possible, though perhaps expensive The internet situation is not a mess nor rotten ... perhaps more expensive compared to other cou

I have finished a HB Hornet previously and yes when it's done it looks good. It's just a lot more work than the other brands to get it there.

I’m nearing the end of a Hobby Boss F-18 a that I used some extras on to make a CF-18a, even with folded wings. For the trouble I’ve had trying to make it look good and add the extras I wish I was working on a Kinetic model. Too much fiddling and sanding and putty for my tastes with the HB kit. I’ve built Hornets from all three and I think Kinetic gives the best options and more details with slightly trickier build process than the Hasegawa version.

Looking for Canadian LHS That Sells Aftermarket
bikerider replied to Brad-M's topic in General Discussion
Wheels and Wings in Toronto https://www.wheelswingshobbies.com/ not sure if they have what you’re looking for exactly - their aftermarket section in the shop is full to being overwhelming to search through. So is the kit selection for that matter. good luck. -
