Thanks! Looks like someone already asked for it, but I'll see.

I want to trade for the Hobbyboss A-6A. I have many 1/48 and 1/35 kits and aftermarket to offer. If there is something you are looking for, send me a list. thanks, Mike

I was able to get in on the extra sets and it is beautiful! Any chance you would do a stowed version of the Pave Tack with the ECM pylon? This is necessary to model an F-111F with GBU-15s and data link pod. F-111 Weapons I maintained the data link pods for the F-111 and then F-15Es while at Lakenheath, and have always wanted to model that loadout. thanks! Mike

They are now selling them on eBay. I ordered another for my F-4G kit. $18.57 shipped to US.

I ordered the Procal one piece windscreen from 48ers.com on 2/26 and it arrived today. Procal's pictures do not do it justice, as you can see below. It comes with a mask and instructions to heat with warm/hot water if the fit is off. Mine has a very slight gap on the starboard side, but nothing a little vallejo putty can't resolve. I would do much more damage trying to heat it. I'll be ordering another for an F-4G build that I've been putting off for years.

Yes, sorry. I meant Polish and Greek F-16s.

I ordered another early F just to see, and it is also cast resin (casting block at the rear).

Resin cast F-111F compared to the 3D printed A/E cockpit.

I see what you are saying, my apologies. My first picture, the capsule and fuselage are aligned at the top center, but angling towards each other so that area is covered. I took clearer photos, but they are not showing up for some reason.

This is the cast resin F-111F early pit.

These show the size difference better.

In the picture, the rear fuselage rests on the front cockpit's gluing/alignment tab. I can take another photo with a gap between the two if you suggest I faked the picture.

Good question. They immediately responded to me and said it was a defect in the manufacturing process. They offered to send a new part right away. Like I said previously, the F-111F early cockpit I have is resin cast (it has a casting block on the rear of the capsule) and fits perfectly into the kit. I'm hoping it was a settings issue on the printer as it's too small in every dimension. Other than that, it's a beautiful part! The whole thing is a kit in itself, and every part has amazing detail. I'm considering ordering the 1/32 escape capsule kit now.

Here's a picture showing the size difference. I had to check double that I didn't order 1/72! I bought the F from eBay, but it arrived from Amazon. I bought the A directly from Amazon. I emailed Reskit, and they got right back to me, stating they know about the issue and offered replacement parts.

I just bought the early F and A/E cockpits. The F is resin cast and fits perfectly. the A/E is 3D printed and very undersized.
