THere have been studies that have shown women do better in close quarter environments than men... IE submarines specifically. The sexes are just very different. Women can do some things far better than men and vice versa... You cant deny that men and woemn are just wired differently... Isreal have used women in infantry and special forces for a long time with good results... But I think the US military takes a misogynistic approach.

It would be nice if the fightertown website worked

I find that I have had better results when I strengthened the plastic gear using a metal rod. I usually use plastic in kits that have both metal and plastic... mainly because they are better for painting and finishing.... but there are always exceptions... every now and again, the metal gear looks better... Like mentioned about the GWH F-15... those SAC gear are really nice. I just find plastic is much more forgiving and easier when it comes to glue... I rather use cememt on plastic than glueing CA metal to styrene...... as far as other AM..... I hate pre printed cockpits on anything lrg

I wish KH would slow down on their releases and take a little more time getting their projects completed and checked before release..... Accuracy is one thing.... but when the kit you release doesnt even fit together thats just sloppy shotty work..... In this day and age with the technology these companies have at their disposal their is no excuse for the horrific fit issues. They spend all that effort retooling something as boring as an F-35, but they cant even fix the atrocious problems with the Mig-25. I al starting to lose my interest in KH..... Too many kits have been junk

irds hav The green paint used on the Radiotransparent panels varies. Czec birds have an almost Kelly green. Soviet AC have this faded dark green. Akan has the best match for this IMO. This is not the same shade as the wheel color, and also a different shade than the heat resistant paint used in the engine.. just look as resources.. Noone makes a perfect color for the engines.... I usually mix custom. I use Japanese Imperial Green with a bit of white for the Rims on the wheels.

DOnt get either of them on your skin.... they absorb super fast into the bloodstream.... Both are really bad for you... but frim what Ive read Methylene Chloride is alot more toxic and a stronger carcinogen.... Keep these away from youngsters as they can cause a plethora of developmental problems

Yeah pictures are horrible for matching paint.... especially older pics... then you also have to consider something as variable as monitor calibration..

Im in the Oil and Gas Industry... and Living in South Louisiana where much of our Economy is Petrochemical based and our city, Lafayette is a Gulf of Mexico Oil and Gas Hub.... low gas prices are a sign of rough times ahead. Our state loses millions for every penny the price drops... and it has already hurt my take home pay.... SO I dont mind paying 4.90 a gallon, because it keeps food on the table...

It was a very poorly executed release.... I comment Kittyhawk for releasing interesting subjects... however I think they need to slow things down.... and spend more time refining their releases .... Innacuracy is one thing.... but a poorly engineered kit that is unbuildable without modification is non forgivable... just plain bad engineering... and those wingtips... what was that all about LOL

Around 2005 Eduard used to make their color PE with some sort of silk screen method... this old stuff was great.... and crisp... the latter stuff is all fuzzy looking and hjas this rough finish... the colors are never right... I do like the way they did the Mig 21 PM cockpit though.... with just a bare metal IP.... and decals beneath... finally they are on to something

Its amazing how people get so worked up by this hobby..... I personally like trumpeter.... While they do make some doozies here and there.... They are the only game in town as far as 1/32 scale is concerned on several diff kits..... Since I built mainly large scale planes... I have learned that part of the fun is researching and improving on wat are generally very solid kits... that go together well. I cant stand kits that's parts dont even fit together.. they use good styrene....and have strong parts.... Tamiya is marginally better on the large scale.... But I can work a trum

oN THE sU-27, The lower louvers only open when the aircraft is in an extreme AOA maneuver ... THe airflow is actually what forces them open.. A the AOA returns back to normal..... the louvers close ..... THese louvers have nothing to do with FOD protection like with the Mig 29..... The Su-27 could not perform pugachevs cobra without these lover louvers of airflow would stall the engine....

I guess I can chunck tha CAM tub in the trash now LOL this new one looks gorgeous..... Im just waiting on you to finish my Mig 29A and Zactoman upgrade

' Unfortunately I would have to agree... I had high hopes for Kitty hawk, but they have been turning out kits so fast lately... Some of them are just downright sloppy

youre comparing apples to oranges. a picture shot of a surface at an angle is just not reliable to use here.... the lerx is at a hugely shallow angle........ so its going to distaort the shape at this angle

I totally agree,,,, I see this everytime a new model comes out... There are always going to be issues... in the end,,., these are produced for a profit... and certain issues cannot be solved due to maintaining profitability... thats business, I hear people hosing companies for that all the time... but these arent charities... they need to make money to stay in business..I know if they fixed everything and hiked the price to reflect then people would complain about that... Back in the day we had to scratchbuild EVERYTHING if we wanted accuracy.... These days the models are far be

I think before you can decide on loadout which operator and unit are you modelling?? Many operators have limited loadouts

I second this... I only use levelling thinner and have great results..... Best paint I have ever worked with... I find That it behaves better thinned alot more than usual,...

The last thing we need is Eduard to release some crappy pre-printed PE sets....

Might I remind you of some of the airframes the US flys.... The B 52, KC 135, F-15, just to name a few...... Many B-52 pilots are flying the same airframes that their grandfathers couldve flown in... Not much can match the standoff capability of an F-14 with AIM-54s. The tomcat was a maintenance nightmare for the US Navy. But it is still got some of the best BVR A to a capability , especially if updated with modern avionics. Take a look at the numbers sometime for the percentage of grounded cats vs airworthy on any naval squadron at sea or abroad,,,, I guarantee Iran's neighbors wo

yep..... THis is my method too.... it preshades the bays and the gear nicely......

solid light gray paint jobs can lack depth ... I would suggest preshading... It will make a world of difference

What genius came up with the design for the wingtips??? that seam makes no sense.. it wouldnt be so bad if they actually made the wingtips and wings the same thickness.... or made them butt up against each other flush.. but there is a flash seam on the inside that needs to be removed.....
