Isn't Thayer&Chandler owned by Badger for several decades? IIRC Vega and Omni series were Thayer&Chandler designs.

Badger Stynlrez. UMP primer is the same thing, repackaged. MiG One Shot primer is similar. Vedran

Because everything in 1/48 after the Rafale is less accurate and has worse fit. Vedran

Well hopefully it wasn't Revell AG. Vedran

Marcinko, if you can find a seller that will ship to Romania, ebay.de is an excellent source for Far East kits inside EU. Total costs comparable to Hong Kong (with shipping) but without feeding the customs monsters. Vedran

Good to have you back, ARC-ers. I missed you terribly. Vedran

Repair is not an option? If the part is screwed on and not welded? Vedran

You just pull it.

Trumpeter re-released their old kit with new decals. No new tool. One sign of common heritage is the bogus shallow cockpit, among other external similarities. Edit: different sprue and parts layouts don't mean they were not based on the same CAD model. Vedran

It's bad. Based on Trumpeter CAD. I'm waiting for the Airfix effort. Was scheduled for August 2016. Vedran

Does it have to be in Soviet markings? There are decals for silver Polish and Czechoslovak R's. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/D48017 https://www.hobbyshop.cz/shop/en/1-48-decals-air/5966-kop92117-mig-21r-recce-dragon-1-48-decal.html Decals for my absolute favorite, JRV "112" which defected to Austria in 1991 are currently unavailable.

There has been a revival of this method last year with the AK True Metal paste (AGAMA had the patinators for years, but no marketing like AK/Mig guys), and this year we see the return of the metal rubbing powders (Uschi v. Rosten). So we have come full circle. Vedran

Well, over on Facebook Bert Kinzey (D&S) is dissapointed. It does look too short. Has almost a T-37 feel... Vedran The milimeter brigade

They did it months ago. Vedran The milimeter brigade

A query for the folks who have this set (632007): could you please measure and post the length and witdh of the part R2 (bomb carrier)? Thank you in advance Vedran The milimeter brigade

Oh? Do tell :-) Vedran PS I have the Su-33 kit and it is fantastic, errors and all...

This guy used medium grey. Think hardware store generic grey metal primer color. Here are some drawings with interior cutaway. Use Google translate. Vedran

I'll just repost this tidbit from one of the more knowledgeable fellows out there: "Hi folks I've been asked to give my feelings about the new Eduard 1:48 109 G6. I'm not going to rewrite Brett's excellent review but I'll point out some things. First, the belly you are getting in the kit is not correct for a late G6. The MG151/20 vents with their louvres were discontinued around mid production (late 1943, early 1944) and slots were instead punched directly into the panel. If you use the drop tank, you don't have to care about that. Second, there has been a lot of confusion about the cowl

What's that at 1:03 min? Su-22's on their asses? Vedran

Not sure about He-111 wheels. You can see the photo with written (1:1) size of corrected wheels in the German review. Vedran

LOL Use the Google translator. Or ignore the information, as they say, ignorance is bliss. Your call. In the end, it's only a model. HTH Vedran

IIRC, the G instrument panel is almost a mirror image of the F/H one. The rest is the same. Oh yes, somewhere in the G production run they changed the top canopy panel hinge from right side to rear. Vedran The milimeter brigade

I wrote fuselage, not nose. But check this out: http://www.ipmsdeutschland.de/Flugzeuge/Arndt/WK2/Fw200C-4.html and the authors addendum on HS: "Steffen Arndt (Login Steffen_Arndt) HyperScale Forums 84.140.80.103 If you just want a Fw 200 go ahead, buy it and build it January 18 2006, 10:45 AM If you want something that is near a C-4 you'll have to put in much effort and/or money. It is incredible how Trumpeter managed to get so much things in one model wrong. Additionally to what I wrote on the IPMS D site the wing fuselage transition is also not faultless. The real trailing ed

IIRC, the main problem is that the fuselage tapers from wing leading edge to the nose. Vedran The milimeter brigade

+1 for the 1/48 version Vedran
