The poly additive is not mandatory.

I think there is one in the BB F-16 cockpit

I'm sure y'all already know this but the original F-15A had provisions for the outer wing pylons. They were to be used for ECM pods, that's why you see the very early F-15 kits with those pods and outer wing pylons. however it was determined that they could put the same ECM gear inside the aircraft and not have to use the pod. So it seems like the wing always had the structural provisions for the pods and now these later versions have the wiring to hang missiles on them.

I have heard it reacts badly to cold storage. I have had some for over a year and it stays in my basement and i have not had a problem.

Well we need to find a safe supply of Dilithium crystals! 😈

Same way in the AF, Had to keep the numbers up, especially fun at the end of the fiscal year when you had no money to order parts (we did, but we couldn't spend it yet) and we had to take a tire off of a jet that was down for extended maintenance and put it on a flier. Of course the next day when it was a "new" year we had to change that tire on the broke jet! Some times we wanted to kill the pro sup!😀

No a A-10.

I think Pewter is a lot more stiff than the crap that SAC uses. I think that's just pot metal with a lot of lead in it.But I am no metallurgist!

It happens more than you think, depot forgets to paint it on. Heck our unit had one with the National insignia painted on backwards!

It looks similar to the metal that AMK used on their deluxe MiG-31 kit and standalone Landing gear kit. If so Great!! that was nice stuff, good details and strength.

Why are you letting this bother you?? It is a marketeers job to hype it's companies product. it is your job as a consumer to see through the hype and make a well informed choice on how to spend your money.

Thank you 11B, starting to get a little stupid!

Thanks TT!

Can you imagine when we see the 1st F-35 with some real color on it, say a Wing King Jet or a CAG bird? Then you'll see some decals made!! (P.S. I know and understand the reason for LO markings, but I think some color would look cool! :-))

The Biggest issue with the forward fuselage of the Trumpy 32nd scale A-10 is that the windshield is a scale 6" too wide. Measuring the kit windshield center pane it came out to be 18 scale inches wide, where as the real one would have been 12" wide, give or take. so it looks lie the designers kept that too wide windshield dimensions and carried it through the nose are around the URASSI and gun fairing. If I remember correctly. its been awhile since I looked at the kit. P.S. I don't have a HB kit so I can't comment as to whether those errors actually did get carried forward.

Here is a link to there explanation of RLM-66. Even if they get all there research correct, it's still up to whoever makes the paint to mix it to that research. http://www.ak-masters.com/app/pdf/RC_RLM_02_66.pdf

Ok for the best out line and shape Monogram, Its a early A model with a pre INS cockpit. Also It may have both RHAW antennas molded on (ALR-47 & ALR-69). Easiest assembly is the hobby boss. We truly need a state of the art 1/48th A-10 kit. You can't even model a Desert Storm hog accurately OOB right now. Let alone all the junk they've added to it til now.

Marketing...

I'm very curious to see how the AK real colors matches up in this comparison.

Just remember that the Neo is not made by Iwata, it's made For Iwata. So its not as high quality as there other brushes.

From what i have read on other boards they have said they will correct the aft fuselage when the do long nose Phantoms.

I remember seeing it on Wide World Of Sports. Also as a side note ESPN filmed "Gunsmoke 91" I think it wa son at like 2 AM or something. There are still some spinets of the broadcast on You tube.

Please accept my condolences. Way too young.

Hey all, going on vacation at Cocoa Beach next week. In between lounging on the beach and visiting all the touristy hot spots, any decent hobby shops in the area? Thanks!

I have read that those things under the canopy are missile warning sensors. I may be wrong but that's what I read.
