I'm preparing a B-25 Mitchell on a portion of the USS Hornet aircraft carrier during Operation Dootlite day. My question would be what color is the Desk floor? Is that dark wood color or dark grey? Any help?

Amazing detailling work so far.

Masterpiece!

In My opinion, the Meng's model is so detailled and we don't need aftermarket to make an accurate J-20 compare to the Trumpeter's. Maybe a nice WS nozzles should de useful. I made one for the Trumpeter kit but the Meng's is much acurate in every dimension, so I have to redraw the WS again while possible for 3d print. An other option is the FAB models, but be aware, the WS for Trumpeter is larger then the Meng, dimensions are very different.

You will enjoy the build, every parts fit right.

Working on the cockpit parts and the Meng is much more detailled than the Trumpeter and the fit is great, just follow the manual and that's it. I'm looking for photos and I find that there are some pretty curious details on this plane.

As I did it for the Trumpeter's kit and the nozzle can't fit it for the Meng's, mine is 2 mm bigger, so I use to resize it and reprint it while possible.

. Here is my print but I use to build the Meng's nozzle to check the right dimension for my final print

No offense, you better use the in box Meng model, it wasn't bad at all, because the plastic process don't allow tiny detail but the WS engine is ok.

Tamiya's F-4 and F-35 also have multiple pieces though, the fit was fine, I think the Meng's could be almost the same. The WS need a little bit detail in my opinion, the ladder is included, very basic and I think that I use to print the engine and ladder for this build. The other trouble with the ladder is a small error on the steps, the distances are not equal, by cutting the pieces and repositioning them two ministers towards the last step at the bottom and the problem would be solved.

Hello, sorry for the late response. I have just finished the projects of my work and I am going to take back this SR-72 which I have to revise its shape a little and continue to model the details like the wheels, gears, Ramjet engine and cockpit. My idea would be to make the pilot (Tom Cruise) in a flight suit so that we can have an idea of the plane's (same fictional.) huge size in 48 scale.

Nice work so far.

Sorry to hear your painting trouble, I used Gunze acrylic color without mixing with an other factory's paint, I alreadys mess up my painting scene but the acrylic paint can be wash with household alcohol. did you use acrylic paint or? The quinta pit comes alone, it's a good set for this model.

Nice picture, I'm going to find a USAF Bombloader MJ-1 model to complete the Flightpath's A-10 Ammunition Loader Cart for this excellent korean model. ANy sugestion for the ground officers figurine in the market?

Any update? I just begin my A-10 this time, so I need some motivation to keep going.

Thank you, nice picts and we can see differences between those two versions.

Hi, I'm planning to build the excellent Tamiya's F-35A also the Italerie's F-35B. The japanese model is really awsome but I need to make some add for the Italerie's B version. We have many F-35 A's weapons bays reference pictures on internet but so hard to find any for the "B" version, are there a lot of difference between the A and the B? Tamiya and the Italerie's kit don't have the same dimension of the weapons bay. Any help?

Good point, I use to reshape this part of my 3d model. I found those pictures for referencing

Thank you for the pictures, I found some my own too, and it's not that easy to understand the exaust's shape, I'll take a look on this part when possible.

I use to work on the bottom but I don't have any information and there aren't sequences in the movie. The air intake have to be set. The 72 could be nice because I don't have to separate many parts for the print with this scale.

I second that Captain Tyler. as many fictional model was so basic or not accurate, I began to make a model of the aircraft a couple month ago and I use to finsh the pockpit and the under carrier, the big part is already done. My job takes all my time and I am currently on many projects at the same time, projects of course about aviation 🙂. So I will be available only from June to continue this modeling project. I am still looking for solution for printing decals for a reasonable price, if you have contacts or if you want to participate in this SR-72 project, you would be very welco

Not this time, I havr to work for the commercial projects and I can't work for the Darkstar until June. This project was planned for the 48 scale and it will be a big 3D printed stuff. smaller scale could be possible but I can't make a 32 scale, It would be too big for my actual printer.

Why you want the PE part with this fictionnal aircraft? I don't see which part of that aircraft that needs PE to complete it.

I hope other factory will make this model. I won't spend money for Russian business. Not because I hate Russians, some for my friends are and I like this language and we all love modelling especially the Russian aircraft and helicopters but we all hate invader and murderer.
