copey Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hello peeps, This is my new(restart) project, It's the Acad 1/32 Hornet. I got the kit when it first come out ,and started to build it then,and just sort of gave up,I think it was because I decided to fold the wings, and that ment hacking and filing bits of the wing away... Any how, The kit is awsome for detail and no major fit problems so far here is the kit seat and I/P . Tub is just as good And I started putting fuse together So there you go, Thanks for lookin Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

copey Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Before I go , my four year old son has just finished his corsair II....... Is that funky or what??? Thanks for looking Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Najk Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 This one I will follow with great interest, since the Hornet is a favorite of mine! Looks great so far, but that A-7 is just too cool!! Way to go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel111 Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Mark, regarding the landing gear, you may want to check out Scale Aircraft Conversions SAC they produce a metal set that would seem to take some of the work out. Also, there are rumours flying around that the plastic legs (even with wire reinforcement) starts sagging after a while. Anyway, I ended up getting a set for my Hornet, although I have yet to get to the point of the build where I will use the set. Marcel PS HOT Corsair II!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

geedubelyer Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Hi Mark, Keep us posted on your build please. It looks like you've made it all fit nicely so far. I've read of a couple of minor fit issues around the intakes and leading edge strakes. Have you had any such problems? Also, does your lad run around the room holding his model and making jet noises or is it just me that does that? I'm guessing he's more into WHIFFs at the moment judging by the cammo scheme Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Well I have the D model and I am getting a little nervous about sagging gears. I wonder how much those metal gear cost! Oh well, it will be awhile before I need to install the gear, but sharp looking Hornet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
