Amen brother.

If you can’t find just the one you can always get a full set of resin wheels from Royale Resin. http://www.royaleresin.net/products/productpage/r052.html

Very cool in the SEA camo. Nice work.

Another vote for an updated A-10, especially a correct A-10C. I know as soon as I update and improve the Italeri A-10C I’m building for my son who is a crew chief on the ‘Hog, Tamiya will release one that rivals their F-14.

I was check out the WIP. Nice job! ...and nice photos.

You’re doing a great job adding details on this kit. Good work. I’m getting ideas for adding details to my next Tamiya F-16. Where did you get the different battery?

Wow, I’ll be watching this one. That seat turned out great. I have a set of the Quinta decals for the Tamiya F-16. I was skeptical about how good the seat decals would look and was going to go with a resin seat until I saw your work. Definitely using the seat decals. The HUD looks great too. Can’t wait to see the rest of it.

I was told at my LHS they will still make the old square bottles for “crafters”, but everything else is discontinued.

I'm looking for part A9 from a Hasegawa 205. My son is building a 202 and the part is lost to the carpet monster. According to the instruction sheet this part is a spare on the 205. Part A8 would also work for anyone who may have built a 202 and has that left. Your help is great appreciated.

Link works for me now. Thank you for fixing. The MRP LGG, even though the wrong color, looks like a close match. The Gunze looks very dark to be 36231. The answer you got from Quinta doesn't surprise me. I hope for future releases for U.S. cockpits they can get the color closer to a proper FS36231, dark gull grey. I think they have a great product and plan to use more. If you're brave enough you could always try to brush paint over the grey areas and around details.

Sebastian, Link to the color comparison is a dead link for me. I too purchased a Quinta set for a USMC F/A-18A+ that I’m building. While the 3D decals are simply eye watering in their detail and a quantum leap forward, I agree with you that the grey they used does not match dark gull grey or FS36231. My plan is to paint to match, I just need to find a grey paint in my inventory to use. On a side note I have read that their Russian cockpit blue/green is a good match for the Akan paint, so maybe that’s what they used for FS36231.

i've built the Hasegawa but not the Hobbyboss. I was going to get the HB kit but after reading a few reviews stayed away and got more Hasegawa kits instead. The Hasegawa A-4 is a nice kit. My two gripes are the solid molded nose wheel and the step on the wing where the slats meet the wing surface.

Agreed Back 30+ years ago when Sports Illustrated named Greg Lemond Sportsman of the Year your typical Joe Six Pack sports fan was all up in arms about it. The common complaint was “he’s no athlete, all he did was ride his bike for 21 days”. Those complainers didn’t understand the stamina required to complete the Tour let alone the strategy require to win. The top NFL players are for the most part a bunch of overpaid cry babies.

Does anyone know release date? Not like I don’t have enough in the stash to keep me occupied until the day I die.

Paragon made a A-26K conversion for the Mongram kit that is long OOP. I had one at one time but can’t recall what the quality or accuracy of the conversion. Hoping to see someone do a kit someday.

Eye watering. Nice work.

These look great. I’ll be ordering a few when they are available. Will these have the ablative coating?

I think they crash before they get dirty.

That’s the one. Such a simple address too, even I could remember that. Thanks guys for the quick reply. Mark

Hello all, I’m looking for a Desert Storm website that is a collection of photos of Coalition aircraft divided by country, branch, squadron, etc. I thought I had bookmarked it but can’t find it in my stored list. Can anyone help? Thanks, Mark

Dutch, My apologies if you’re already aware of this, Phase Hangar Resin makes a resin replacement nose for the Minicraft 707. https://phasehangarresin.com/collections/72001-1-72/products/144001-boein-707-nose-correction-minicraft

Very nice.

The Quickboost fits the Hasegawa tub like a glove, but is too wide for the Kinetic. In case you're wondering, its too wide for the Tamiya also.
