I like it. and just so you know, I spent all day friday cursing your name. because I had to watch al 5 of the aztec dummy videos. I was up till 1 am 😉 totally worth it

I will be following this one.

wow that's pretty bad. this whole kit development has been one big dumpster fire after another.

I would recommend a different lens. I switched from the 18-55 to a fast prime a few years ago. typically I use a sigma 50 1.4.at f/16 I am getting 1/15 sec. shutter at ISO 100. you dont need to spend much cash for a good prime. nikon makes a great 50 1.8 that is only about $200. link

gorgeous as usual Chuck. well done

great job.

Beautiful job

I asked at the 2 local shops here in Vancouver, neither has heard anything. you might have to light a fire under the sales rep.

thanks Raymond. do you know when they will hit the Canadian distributor?

thanks for that Craig. the main reason I was asking is because my local hobby shop owner was saying that the reviews were not so good. maybe he thought I was asking about the AMK tomcat?

thanks Brad. I have seen the finished builds on the kinetic group. I am hoping to get an unbiased review from a regular modeler that shows any flaws or ill fitting parts.

since they haven't shown up in my LHS yet, I am curious how the kit is. it looks good on the sprues, but has anyone actually started building one? I did a quick google search and wasn't able to find anything.

Canada has been an also ran for many years now. we can provide token assistance at best. our military is well trained and motivated, but we suffer from having minimal resources to do the job. it took 30 years to replace the Seaking

thats good news. the only pictures I have of a 2 seater is of 824. and I also just picked up a 2 seater kit yesterday. you are making me very happy with this one.

ok I might need 4 sheets how come you aren't adding 824 the 2 seater?

at least 2 for me

are awesome!!! I destroyed the decals for my Lightning kit, sent them an e-mail asking if I could buy a new set. they sent me a new set of decals and a new set of instructions with no charge. god on ya Sword models

word

yes

I am as surprised as anyone. according to the FB page, the original artwork was still on the helo. they took it off and put on a reproduction vinyl piece so the original would not fade in the sun. the museum wants to preserve the aircraft as close to how it looked in service in Afghanistan. here is a link to the post FB link

I saw these on the facebooks today. I thought those of you not on there would like to see. it should go without saying that I would love to build this one in 1/48 scale

hobbyeasy it is on the front page currently

Alex. that is the best example of what is wrong with that part of the kit I have seen. I said from the beginning that it wasn't the hips being wide, but the aft part having a weird shape.

fantastic job

after a brief search it turns out Xtradecal does quite a few Lightning sheets. also aeromaster did a bunch that are no longer available. the worst part is that aeromaster did sheets for the 2 schemes I posted but they are long out of stock everywhere.
