Thanks Dave. I finally found a good reference picture in the Duke Hawkins book and concur on the pylon. The instructions are terribly lacking in regards to telling which pieces are which pylon, but it’s Kitty Hawk, so I’m not surprised.
Is the desert scheme compatible with the AUF-2? Most of what I see using AUF-2 is the grey/green scheme.

Isn’t the AUF-2 rack already in the kit? Parts H28 and H29 used in Step 66?
I’ll be darned. I have the re-released version from Zimi Models, and Step 66 is an error in the instructions, showing Step 59 again. Actually, page 43 is entirely wrong, and a copy of page 40. Pulling up the original version instructions from Scalemates, I see the AUF-2 now. Does it directly mount to the fuselage? That doesn’t seem to be shown. Thanks! -
Does anyone make the pylon and rail to allow 2 GBU-12s to be carried on the centerline of the Mirage 2000D? I know Kinetic put out a version of their kit that includes it, but that’s in 48th scale. Looking to put a this type of loadout on my 1/32 Kitty Hawk two seater. Thanks!

Like someone referenced above, you may have cracked the nozzle. They’re quite sensitive when being tightened back down and the littlest bit of overtorque will damage it. You likely won’t be able to see the crack, but what you describe sounds an awful lot like the nozzle is the issue. I’d order a new one of those before I shipped it off for servicing.

Why should he, we are running his site which is still fairly popular and he collects the money. He’s said it doesn’t make much from it but nonetheless he makes something from it
We clearly need more moderators with the ability to do something, besides just erasing spam posts. He could change the rules for new members to post, or set up a different system for verification of membership. Or, he could set up moderators with that capability, since his actions demonstrate he has zero interest in running this joint. But he visited and posted twice in 2023 (on January 8 and Dec 15), so he literally has zero idea of anything that occurs here and has made no contact with those who have requested additional forum management help.
If it weren’t for the fact a few group build mods happen to be able to erase spam posts, this site would be overrun and participation would be almost nil.
Or you can continue along thinking everything is just rosy and erase 1400 junk posts on a random weekend while Capt Bamford abandons ship, your call!

Maybe the site owner needs to show up more than once a year and give some power to those who actively use the forum.

Thanks bro, well I guess that this post helped.
Mr.Owner today let me know tracking number of parcel.Fantastic customer service, but it needed just a little bit of additional fuel 😉
Or maybe you just needed a little bit of additional patience before slamming a guy on a public forum. -

PS: The KASL slats has arrived to the US on 12/5/23 and nothing is heard since then.There is no update in the mail tracking system. I have requested the seller to send me a replacement.
Given the holiday season, I’d be waiting a tad longer to demand a replacement. I have some paint from overseas that’s been sitting 12 miles from my house for 5 days now. -
Do any of these have prices? Interested in a few but would like to know what you’re asking for them.

The site owner hasn’t logged in for 11 months now, despite stating this would be a priority again. It’s likely only a matter of time before the site is no longer available, probably without warning.

Use the tools to report something went wrong. If he won’t refund it, then eBay will step in after a period of a few days.

Posted on Facebook that he had some stuff at Nats, but it’s been silence otherwise. It’s a shame really, I’m looking to snag the antenna and intake sets the moment they’re available.

You’ll need the lightweight gear and all new gear doors as well if you’re going from block 50 back to block 30. You’d also want the Block 30 cockpit, not the CJ sets you reference. Aires makes a 25/32 set, which would work.
Why not just use the C/N kit, which can be built as a Block 30 out of the box, and save yourself a lot of trouble?

There’s one on eBay at the moment, still
has 3.5 days left on the listing.

Do you mean the Hobby Boss F-105G? Trumpeter doesn't make an F-105G in 1/48 scale.

Like Geoff said, this question is very difficult to answer without knowing what clear coat you used.

Using Foxbat Digital Masks for Ukrainian Mig-29........Any advice out there?
in Jet Modeling
Posted
I assume you mean Foxbot… I have the same mask set. I haven’t used it yet, but gave it a skim when it was received. The instructions are bad, and the need to do multiple colors and replace parts of each mask seems poorly thought out. Why they couldn’t better distinguish between the grays is a mystery.
My initial thought was to place the mask, remove all sections leaving only the outline and shoot the lightest color, minimize overspray so the paint doesn’t get super thick. Then, apply the mask, shoot the next lightest color, apply mask, etc. They used Oramask 811, so careful burnishing down and minimal touch ups will be needed.
Between the decals or the mask, the time involved seems like it’s a wash. But I wouldn’t have confidence in all the decals snuggling down over then entire airframe. What paint are you using? I have both MRP and the Arcus set, not sure which I’ll go with.
