If you have a Hasegawa FGR.1-2 Phantom, and are replacing its exhausts with (what else) Reskit cans, the insert from the kit is close to the perfect size for the Reskit can. Bending the petals.....nope, too brittle... So I broke them all off, sanded an angle on the petals and the ring, superglued them one by one.....extremely hard to make a ' regular' shape, then the Spey popped into my head, larger diameter the a J-79..... And yes, it fits! As they say, "close enough for government work"

@mrvark apologies for tagging you again. I'm trying to 3D design a nosewheel bay, panel by panel. Working on the ceiling as we speak., just the basics. What I'm looking for is the pattern milled in the panel. From the 'structural descriptions', I can get a lot of info, even on how some panels should be milled, but not that panel. - Am I right in assuming the floor of the capsule is part of the nose bay ceiling? I have plenty of pics, but a few areas are missing. Can anybody help?

am I the only one not being able to grab the pics?

I ALWAYS forget to mention scale! All will be in 1/48. Thanks for the answerbtw, any tips on the best base kit to start with? I vaguely remember doing a Israeli TOW equipped 500 as a kid, probably a Fujimi.

Just recieved mine. First off, the parts are gorgeous, and I can't wait to use mine. As with the others, a lot of my parts were loose, but I seem to have everything. The printed cage is next to useless, as it was not deformed or damaged. Your support contact points are VERY small, (for good reason), it seems the parts are being shaken off the supports. The resin seems very brittle, almost glass like brittle, which won't help. Maybe mix in some 'vinyl like' resin, or try a less brittle one?

Damn......so everybody is scrambling for a Testors kit now? It finally became a Italeri kit, but that was a while ago..... That is a pretty tough fix, not just length, but contour as well....😒

Just got two sets of WW decals. Initially for the MH-60's, but now want to do the Little Birds as well. Are the CMK sets all I need?

euhhhh...ok, now I'm confused, apparently I have a 'cast' version, as mine has the flat dashboard shelf, not the diagonal one.🤯 But mine has all kinds of fit problems so far.....no 'click into place' for me.....

not suggesting you faked it, the pic is not showing part of the capsule though.. behold my favourite red arrows!

this pic isn't wholly truthfull, compared to mine, it seems to cover the first 2.2mm of the capsule

63.60mm my Reskit part is 63.26.. I don't understand the decision to make the part at the front a massive block of resin though. This makes any stretching impossible to do.

Aerocraft do a mostly corrected canopy for the kit as well. Mostly, as a full correction wouldn't fit the kit..... https://aerocraftmodels.com/eurofighter-typhoon-ef-2000a-replacement-canopy-for-148-revell-kit-132-p.asp

I just checked mine, happily not as bad as yours, less than an mm each side. Now I'm hoping it's a bit short as well, so I have to shim it, and the shim will fill in the difference.

Wolf3D?

Even weirder...where did you buy it? I bought my F direct, and the main part is definitely printed. (And dimensionally challenged)
