Great Wall Hobby G.W.H L4827 1/48 Su-27UB “Flanker C” Heavy Fighter
dehowie replied to haneto's topic in Jet Modeling
Its fantastic to see GWH going full steal ahead with the Flanker family! The SU-35 is a fabulous kit and cannot wait for the UB and single seater. Beautiful kits that 5 or 6 will find there way into my large Flanker family. Great stuff! -
So glad they didnt do the J. The sky is the limit with E/H renditions from Ski equipped air guard kits to gunships. Cant believe its taken so long to get a new tool Herk if Kinetic had done this instead of a unwieldy hugely expensive C17 that nobody can build due space they would of been up to the 5th C130 boxing by now and counting their cash. Great work Zvezda.

What demand for 1/48 Black Box sets?
dehowie replied to Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy's topic in Jet Modeling
Probably best value is to dress up some of the very nice oob cockpits we have now. Use the seats and detail parts on the base plastic. No fit issues, some great looking detail and far faster build. -
Simple A model madness! love it..great work!

well if you believe that dine put your Monogram F-105 against a photo Or set of plans..lol. Mmm spine, horrendous, nose shape incorrect, canopy completely incorrect. So your example of a good kit is actually worse than the kit you claim to be worse..lol..how ironic. So mate what is wrong with the KH F-5? Shape wise its basically spot on. It has numerous parts to allow you to build numerous versions of the F-5 oob. The F-5 was more complex than a Bf 109 from variety of antennas, IP’s etc so your saying given its shape is fine that every kit shou

Lose sight, lose the fight.. Murph nailed it..but then he should!🤪

To unload generally means to apply slight forward stick to reduce the amount of lift needed reducing drag. This allows the aircraft to accelerate more rapidly than in normal straight and level flight. To properly unload a zero G push occurs zeroing the requirement for lift decreasing drag significantly.

Academy 1/144 B-1B Lancer #12620 - New Mold Kit Release
dehowie replied to Dutch's topic in Jet Modeling
The KA models B-1 burners are fabulous. Got mine via HLJ...outstanding set that lifts the entire rear end. recommended. -
To each there own but for $45 a kit with beautiful detail, great decals for 6-8 options, a set of masks and color etch to me is the bargain of the century. If detail missing from the interior of the radiator puts you off go buy the Tamiya or Hasegawa kits.

Seriously if you think the Eduard Mustang is disappointing good luck ever being happy with any injected kit to ever be released in the future. As for Eduard... To the OP.. They started off doing PE. Thus expanded in the mud 90’s to low pressure limited run injection kits. This expanded into not so limited run stuff. Injection pressures went up quality improved sales increased. They pioneered colour PE. id guess around early 2000’s they spent a huge Amount investing in CAD and high quality injection machines. This allowed a large jump in quality allowing

LOL based off the F-14 im sure id rather just give my money to ICM..

Trumpeter...disregard accuracy the Revell kit is a royal pain to get together... Life is to short for junk like that Revell kit. Hard to believe its from the Same company as the 88 etc..

Jjst hope the team that put that debacle of a 32nd Hornet stay well and truly away from the beloved Blackbird. Hypersonics should be the ultimate rendition of the SR-71 but until its in the post on the way nothing is certain so we will wait and see if Revells A team is on this. Hopefully we finally get an accurate SR-71...please...
-
Staggeringly good news as long as the team who did the 32nd F-18E dont touch it.

Im not bitter what i am tired if is guts openly denying the existence if clear and plain issues with the kit? The kit is “perfect”..blah blah. Complete denial of reality. Im not selling my kits but it doesnt mean you cant have a cold rational opinion on exactly where it stands in relation to other 48th Tomcats. Something many modellers are completely unable to do. As i said im sure we will see and we have seen some great builds of the kit that doesnt mean its “perfect” by a long stretch.
-
i think you add quite happily to the toxic environment by ignoring clear issues that people who gave spent good money on kits gave with multiple kits. Passing off their issues as tiny because this kits “perfect”...utter rubbish. You think sink lines that run the full length of intakes are a “tiny thing”? incomplete and variable depth panel lines are ok. I have four AMK F-14’s all with extensive and visible sink lines and marks. There are other production issues ie decal misregistration and inconsistent panel lines. So please dont dismiss clear and prominent visual is

Try building a Dagon PZ IVE if you want to see horrendous instructions.. Kinetics instructions are stellar by comparison..and they updated them which you can download the new versions.

Any Chance of Downsizing your Guard Herks to 1/144
dehowie replied to Drifterdon's topic in Caracal Models
Talking about Herks love to see a few Antarctic/arctic birds from the New York guys. Several had nose art and lots of flouro. There was one sheet done buts long long out of print. -
You dont need red lines to see the problems with this kit. Thats the problem. If it needed red lines to point them out it would be fine.
-
Nice to see. Modelsvit kits are very nice indeed the Blinder, MD-11 all have lovely refined detail. Im sure this will go very well for them!
-
Well done.Chris on the breakdown of the differences it is interesting to see. Id say its not a deal breaker either its more like a missed chance for AMK. For the hard core guys though its again lost sales from the guys who buy 4, 6 or 8 kits as many will look at the back end and once seen you can not “unsee” the issues. Im sure we will see some superb builds of the kit its just a pity they ran out of money, motivation or ideas or all three and failed to deliver on the promise. Is it a nice kit..yep. Is it the best F-14, nope. But i do think we wil
