    MENG Super Hornet kits question

    in Jet Modeling

    Posted

    Thanks for the input on the newer MENG boxing. I guess I will have to plan on getting additional stencil decal sheets from Furball. Dave I know what you are saying is factual due to having a conversation with someone who uses Microscale. I value your input on this! Thanks again guys!

    MENG Super Hornet kits question

    For those of you that have the later boxing of their SH kits VFA-2. Did MENG fix the decal sheets when it comes to the stencils? I have a couple of the first run kits and the kit decal stencils are just gray boxes and squiggly lines. Such a nice kit to have a half *** decal sheet. I know there are aftermarket decals that can be used to correct this and I have a few of them. I am just curious if the fixed this issue. 

    Paint question..

    I have always gone by the golden rule. Anything over lacquer and lacquer over nothing. I know there have been people that say they do it with no issues. But I am not willing to take a chance. You can experiment on a paint mule.

    I hope that you will be able to concentrate on your modeling now with the new med.  Steve just came back on board in the last couple weeks.  He is still busy but hopefully will be able to a little more time into ARC now.

    Thats Good! I hope CAM Pro has good customer service! Ordered some 1/48 Hornet decals. Got F-4G and A-4F decals instead. Now that project is off till I get the right ones. I have kits and decals for the GB but this was my 2nd build after the A-7 to see if I can keep going

    It is kind of a long story so I will direct you to this post:

    SBARC please come in......... - General Discussion - ARC Discussion Forums (arcforums.com)

     

    The bottom line is SBARC has not been on the forum much in the last year or so and he is the only one currently that can create a group build.  None of the other mods have that permission.  So, to keep group builds going they (f-16 and F-18 group builds) were proposed ion the General Discussion forum.  Each participant then just added his WIP to the In-Progress forum with the appropriate title prefix either 2022 F-16 Group Build or 2022 F-18 Group Build.  

     

    Here is a link to the F-18 GB:

    Here is a link to the F-16 GP:

    Link to one of the F-18 GB in progress:

    (2022 Hornet Group Build) 1/48 F/A-18F Blue Angel #7 - In-Progress Pics - ARC Discussion Forums (arcforums.com)

     

    Both of these are running for a year so you should have time to contribute.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the heads up and link. I need to see if I can finish this HB A-7A kit. I am a disabled vet with severe insomnia. Have not been able to concentrate on a build fora long time. But the past few days has given me a boost. The stuff they gave me for sleep has helped my concentration for building. I hope to have this thing in paint this weekend. Ill wait and see on joining in. Has anyone tried to email Steve?

     

    VF-84 F-4B from Tamiya Kit?

    in Jet Modeling

    Posted

    Not to hijack  ESzczesniak's thread but I have a question. I have the Tamiya B kit but I also have the Academy kit and that's where my question comes from. The original Academy B kit as built by instructions a late B correct? Which has the slotted stabs ( Fencing facing wrong way from what I have read ). SO if my understanding of this is correct and for those of you that know please correct or help me with this? The Academy kit can be built as an N correct? Other than the intake antennas and the slotted stabs. WHat other part numbers are needed to convert it to an N bird? I have plans to build the Phantom family that my Squadron (VFA-151) flew when they were in Phantoms. I have the B,J & S just need to convert one to an N and source decals for the J. Thanks for any information!

    May have already been asked....but can a F-4N can be built from the Tamiya kit?  I know the N parts are in the Academy F-4B kit....I just haven't pulled the plastic wrap off my new Tamiya F-4B on the shelf to take a look myself?

     

    Cheers

     Are those parts in all the Academy F-4B kits? I have the first kit Academy released. Was about to cut a deal with a local builder. If it has the N parts then I need to hold on to it for a while longer.
