Start? I wouldnt say it was the start at all, its been running for quite some time now. We are certainly at a point where it has never been quite this good in terms of models available, tools to do it with, information to build them etc. But it has been so for quite some time now... Several years infact.

I dont suppose we will ever know the specifics of it all. Based on the details we do have could you recommend a kit to start with and the decals that are a close match?

Scotchbrite and IPA. I guess I should elaborate on that. It sounds like you are suffering from what is called Amine blush. You need to remove the hydrocarbons from the surface, especially if you have any open or flat surfaces where the lack of adhesion will be even worse. So you need to remove it... Its possible to use just water and some scotchbrite but I much prefer IPA on scale models because the areas that you cant get to with the scotchbrite will still need to be cleaned off and the IPA should do that just by contacting it. Water not being equal all around the

Interesting... Interesting too that it was a Reaper not a GlobalHawk. Anyway, any info on the Su-27 used would be nice, it would be kinda cool to make a model of it.

Good for some dios of Ukraine.

I didnt know it was a Reaper. I know only that flightradar often shows a GlobalHawk over the Black sea and that the Russians damaged a drone over the Black sea and it crash landed. Beyond that I know little to nothing at all, thats why I asked. Isnt the Reaper an armed drone?

Does anybody have any info on the jet Russia used to down the Global Hawk over the Black sea?

Ive several of the Italeri kits myself in one box or another, not bad at all, but the Zvezda kit is just a little bit nicer. I am also liking that Israeli C-130. Very nice indeed.

Not pictures I took no.

No I think the Monogram is a lot more basic than the Kitty hawk is so like you say there are nowhere near as many build issues.

Its either that or flog yourself half to death on the Monogram kit 🙂

Yes I know List of flat panel display manufacturers - Wikipedia Theres been some good reviews of the DLP printers. Im liking the look of the Uniformation but Ive not long since got the Mighty 8K which im very happy with because the room temp is a constant 21⁰c

Oh I did that one too. I did have the fit problems but no short shot parts.

Going by the second hand prices on ebay I think a lot of people are in the same boat as you are. Some of them go for shocking prices considering how so many people slagged them off as being unbuildable or just "unfinished" as kits go.

Recent video about a printer that has, as said in the video been talked about a far bit, and bares out what I said about printers not really improving the prints as much as they will be improving the features.

I think there was an idea that there would be a full resurrection but there is nothing on the horizon release wise so far.

Lizard Charcoal one and all.

Not sure we will have a definitive answer until somebody buys one and tries it. All else is speculation.

I asked if that accident was due to quality control problems. I asked if you guys thought it was possible that the S-400 missile system can track the F-35 as there is some discussion about it on the internet. You seem now to be making things up about what I say/think about it. The F-35 has had some problems, or many problems in the past but that doesnt mean its a bad investment.

Having read a little of that thread Habu2 I will just say I can see why now you are so touchy on the subject and Ill let sleepy dogs lay. Especially as you might end up finding out your sleepy dog has rather more problems than at first sight appears. Or might not, depending on how much money youre making out of it.

Im not trying to blame anybody I asked you what it was thats all. Going by the answer above its something that can happen but its rare.

Engineering problems then?

Quality control problems on the production line?

Is that why the pre delivery aircraft crashed a few weeks ago?
