F-16 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Has anyone seen or used the new 1/48 F/A-18C wing fold from Wolfpack Designs yet? It looks easy enough to use. I would like others opinions on this set before I buy it. :D Thanks. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vfa127 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'd like to hear more about these too. I have a stack of Hornets in the collection that could use a few wingfolds. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks guys! Let me know how they are as soon as you get them. I can get them with free shipping at LuckyModels.com I don't think I should pass up this opportunity. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Oh man!!! :o What is it with this resin set?! :blink: They seem to be FLYING off the shelfs! :blink: Sprue Brothers- Out of stock. :D Lucky Models- Out of stock.

av8iimech Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Just got several sets from Spruebrothers before they sold out. These things are awsome. I haven't had a chance to use them yet but they appear to be very easy to install. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 I contacted Luck Models about the availability of this et. Here is the reply: "Thanks for your inquiry. The item is currently out of stock and Wolfpack don't have enough in their stock and so we will only receive limited quantity (exact quantity) not known yet next week . Regards, Silvia Lo Luckymodel.com" I wonder if SB is having the same trouble getting them in stock? It sounds like Wolfpack is making this a "limited release" item. Lets hope they make more soon.

F-16 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ok. Lucky Models has a few in stock now. I am sure that Sprue Brothers will get them soon as well. Has anyone taken any pics of the set? Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shion Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Just reveived them with the F-18A+ update set. One word: JDAM!!!! What a package, what an accuracy, wht a cripness what a set! Photos sooner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viasistina Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 (edited) I just got my 1/72 sets in the mail from Sprue Brothers. I got the Helldiver, FA-18 and F-8. They are all spectacular!!!!! First of all the packaging is superior, and probably overdone. Heavy cardboard box, full color litho. The work inside is outstanding. I know wing folds are complex places, and even if he missed a rib or a pipe someplace on the Helldiver (and it appears he didn't) they are beautiful. Email them at Wolfpack and tell them are great the products are and keep them coming. Edited January 18, 2008 by Via Sistina Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graham Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Does anyone know if these work with the Hobbyboss Hornets?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Does anyone know if these work with the Hobbyboss Hornets?? Thats what I'm planning on doing. I have two HB Hornets next in line on the bench, and hope that the wing fold will fit them. I'm guessing they will with little fuss... Scott CNJC-PMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
