Making them now. Should be to SB by the end of next week if UPS cooperates.

Yes, We are making them next month for the Revell kit. The Tamiya intakes will not fit the reveal kit.

Gary, is there any chance of you doing the F-4E/G/K/M Belly Strap in 1/48th Scale. I know my favourite scale of !/72nd is probably out of the question, but I do have a couple of F-4Gs to do as they were aircraft originally used by the Royal Australian Air Force.
Thanks

Hi Phil,
Great question....YES!! Look for them in July at Sprue Brothers.

Sprue brothers ships to Europe. Before you say it costs more, yes it does a bit. Either individually or in bulk international shipping is an additional expense. I pay it too when buying outside the US.
Hope you decide to give them a try.
thx,
Gary

A new concept, please take a look!

For Hobby Boss: Throw away the short intakes that come with the kit and use these economical, full length, seamless intakes with intake fan set. Intakes are a drop in installation and easy to install. Just clean, paint, and install as the directions indicate.

Same as above, only for the Kinetic Legacy Hornet Kits

Full intakes for the Hasegawa Legacy Hornets are being made now and will be at SB in a couple of weeks.
Happy New year to everyone!!!

Hi Gary,
I'm glad to hear that you are at least considering doing cockpits for the big Super Hornet. I've been wanting to build my E and F, but have put those plans on hold until cockpit sets come out. Sounds like it might be awhile. Thanks, Fred K.
Hi Fred,
I would say it will been the next 12-18 months. I have an EA-18 planned to build and I won't be building the mock up until I build that kit. I am a one man show so It takes time to do the research and get new projects in the pipe line. Working on 1/32 A-10 item now, next is1/32 F-16 2 seat conversion for Tamiya kit, then on to Super Bug project.
I do appreciate the interest and suggestions.
Happy New Year!

yes, we currently make intakes for the 1/32 Trumpeter kits & 1/48 Hasegawa kits.

1/32 Cockpits are planned but not anytime soon.
thx for asking!

Hi Gary,
Will the 1/48 inlet fans for the A-10 Hobby Boss kit fit the Monogram kit with a little elbow grease?
Thanks
I do not know, and I don't have a Monogram kit to test. If you email me with the outside and inside dimensions of the pod, I can check that for you.

GT Resin is please to announce to announce not one but two seamless intake options for the fantastic 1/48 Hasegawa F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G Kits.
The first option is a full intake including exterior. Some cutting is required of the fuselage side panels.
GTR 48032
The second option isA "BASIC" intake with the beak at the paint line, simplifying painting with the convenience being seamless. Other than removal of the pour strip, the intakes are drop in parts.
GTR48033
GTR48032 is in stock, and GTR48033 arrives today.
THx

HI,
BY Popular Demand!!
GTR48024. MCID intake conversion set for the Hasegawa F-16's will be arriving today. IT is a full intake tract with a GE fan face. Some reworking of the lower and man gear wheel well top side are required, but very straight forward installation. The set includes front Intake, rear Ducting, GE fan face, and Detailed instructions. The intake is made to use the Model kit heater vane and lights.
The NSI intake For Hasegawa F-16's will be released sometime in October. I am making the molds this week with scheduled production next week.
Thx

The Bulls eye set is correct. ODS F-15's were still in the original two tone gray schemes with the early Stencils with you refer to as "HI-Viz". IN fact, many still had the original paint with the red-white-blue national insignia on them where as others had been replaced with the Black stenciled insignia. Just check your references. The low viz was part of the MOD eagle repaints after ODS.
Here is a great reference link:

Sure, G.W.H. must be very happy after this .
I don't think it's an error...it is too obvious. It's a direct attack on G.W.H.
Why is what I shared be an attack on Great Wall. I like their stuff a great deal and said nothin bad about them. What I shared is a flawed production approach that many of the new companies use. I am not going to make a list but I hardly think after 226 pages that his thread is a voice of support for AMK.
For those of you who understand higher math, all CAD based software is mat driven. Creating complex curves in a program is exponentially more difficult than straight lines. Much of data that CAD programs show us in complex curved areas is guesswork on the part of the software. When it is translated into the code for machining these curves are very difficult to translate and that is where these error occur. This is where knowing your subject comes into play. Think these companies that use unqualified consultants that with these companies for a kit or two are more to blame for the errors than the CAD crew. He real key to getting accurate measurement is to use laser scanning, even then the data has to be processed and interpreted by humans.

Thanks for sharing your experience working with Great Wall Hobby. However, this thread is about AvantGarde Model Kits aka AMK.
Mark
Hey Mark,
Yes, I know it is AMK, but the new 1/72 GWH F-14D that was just introduced has the same issue as this AMK thread has evolved. You misunderstand my point in that all of these new model companies use the same process and they all operate basically the same way. Since I am the writer is my fault for not being more clear.

I have been following things here on and off. After having been asked to consult on a future kit project by their US consultant, I understand now how they can make these serious errors. Almost all of their shape problems are in compound curve areas of the airframe. I declined because in a cursory, 5 minute review of the CAD drawings I found over 20 errors. These same error are exhibited in the line drawings of a popular publication, and in the conversation with the US consultant he explained to me their design process that relies exclusively on line drawings and photos. Essentially, their design process does not involve work with real airframes. They rely entirely in Line Drawings and pictures, and do not measure or scan actual airframes. This explains why they have difficulty with accurately shaping curved areas of kits. Some of you may recall that they had compound curve shape problems with the F-15 Two seat kit, SU-35 and Mig -29 kit noses, and now they have issues here with the F-14. The problem is two fold: they do not work with actual Airframes using traditional measurement making techniques or Lidar Scanning, and they use a US consultant that has no first hand experience with the Airframes. Their Mig-31 turned out so well because it lacks these compound curve shapes and is primarily just straight lines.
IN reality, GWH build their computer models from two dimensional drawings that may or may not be accurate and open source pictures. I addition they have a consultant with no first hand experience with any of these airframes. The same consultant has also worked with HK models, and we see the same sort of shape error in their kits...the B-17 forward fuselage being another example. The F-15 kit was fixed due to the ARC thread. The Tomcat is still open as I have not seen the plastic. Their problem is not that they are dishonest in any way, they just have a flawed design process and use free consultants that are not experts with the subject.
The project I was asked to help with, upon preliminary review exhibited the same sort of shape issues in the compound curve areas as the above mentioned kits. That project is moving forward and I wish GWH the best, but until they start using real airframes and hiring real experts..... not the self proclaimed ones but actual been there, done that experts and do their homework, they are going to continue to have issues with new products.

Hi, Please come by the GTR Tables and say hello. I will have some new items in both scales for sale as well as many kits...cleaning out my stash.

Hi Gary
I also need to order the F-15E Wheel sets and would like to know the differences between Michelin and Dunlop, is Michelin belongs to the more recent newer F-15Es?
Thanks for your help
With kind regards
Duke
Dunlop does not make tires for the F-15. Your choices are Goodyear or Michelin, and the choice is yours unless you have a specific reference you are duplicating. Tires are not assigned like engines. With the GT Resin wheel set, you get your choice of both sizes of lightening holes for the main wheels in each set. The set also cones with the shimmy dampener.

This set will fit all 1/48 GWH F-15 kits currently issues and most likely future release. The set corrects the size and shape of the kit intakes that are too small, and allows the builder to use either of the three Fan sets supplied or the kit plastic engine. Set includes PW 100, 200/229, and GE intake engine fans.
