Russia jet that downed the Global hawk
ElectroSoldier replied to ElectroSoldier's topic in Research Corner
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.

Anyone ever get their model pics repurposed?

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.

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?

Its no wonder you dont want to use an RDBMS then. You would never remember how to!

Me too. So you think that give the fact that the Academy kits nose cone (as a for instance) can fit perfectly on the Hasegawa kit then the one clearly came from the other? That Academy made their tooling using the Hasegawa kit as a basis rather than a different master? What did strike me was the panel line artifacts. Not the panel lines themselves, I would expect those to be the same, but the spurious mistakes that can be seen on the hasegawa kit are also on the academy kit in places.
-
How do you know that? I mean were you involved in producing the tooling, or do you know somebody who was involved in making the tooling for it?

I asked along the lines of this a few months ago. Old Academy F-16C kit #12259 - Jet Modeling - ARC Discussion Forums (arcforums.com) I have a some of them myself, I have the Twobobs aggressor sheet and will be making the grey and blue versions but I also have the aggressor markings for the Bentwaters based jet which I will also be doing.
