  1. Really well done. I've built this kit and used Belcher Bits conversion to make it a CH-149 Cormorant... it's not the easiest to put together but this looks great, especially the interior
  2. I built this kit using a Belcher Bits conversion to make a RCAF CH-149 Cormorant. It was challenging, even with the conversion pieces provided for me. Nice job what you've done so far... can't wait to see the end.
  3. Hmmmm….. maybe. Haven’t done a group build on here in a while but I’ve got a Kinetic F16 in the stash somewhere.
  4. 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
  5. 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!
  6. Bump for DonG. Great guy to deal with.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. Second this.... ordered a kit from him Feb. 5 and it arrived Feb. 11. Super!
  10. Mis-read the request.. I have some USAF F-15 decals I don't need, but not JASDF. Sorry,
  11. Consolidating my stash .... Everything is 1/48. Prices listed do not include shipping form Canada. Willing to ship anywhere at buyer's cost. Not looking for trades at this time. Due to Covid restrictions I might only be able to get to the post office once a week - but I will ensure clear communication on what happens. Please PM me for questions or other info. Many thanks. Kits: 1. Kinetic F-16E Desert Falcon Block 60. (with conformal tanks) Markings for a UAE jet. All parts in original bags. $35USD 2. Eduard Spitfire Mk.iXc (late
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. I have a partial sheet. Did one jet (su-34 red-26). If you want the remainder let me know.
  16. I’ve got a nearly complete set. Made one jet and I think you could do maybe 3 more. PM me if you’re interested
  17. X-1 is my go to for Alclad NMF. Works very nice. Not sure about other NMF brands.
  18. Just be sure to keep the parts for each kit organized and in order. It can be easy lose them or to mix them up..... ask me how I know 🤨
