Wayne S Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 all three have been joined together and the detail has been sanded off. Still have a lot of filling, sanding and shaping to do as well as rescribe. Fortunately, the entire project can be finished without the afterburners. Now that I know there may be a set available by the end of the year, work may procede. That sucks, I had a few Ideas that might of helped if you did not already try them. I take the nipples off the 2 half parts. So I can get a better seam line. I have not had a set yet that needed reshaping to get right, so never had to use hot water etc. to form their shape. Also I take the lip off the back of the two sections, so I can sand both mating surfaces of the parts to get a perfect seam where the back part meats. If needed I sand the back sections out side edge to be flush with the 2 half part. When I have it the way I want it. I then take my .005 pen, and mark a reference line across the join line, to make sure when I glue the back section on. I put it exactly how I fitted the part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blunce Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 These cans!! He hates these CANS!!! <The Jerk> Glad I read this before I tackled the 101 in my stash, Two Mikes' resin versions will save me huge headaches it sounds like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chorse6 Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) C & h Aero make some conversion sets. Do they include cans in their sets? C&Hs have afterburners for A and C models in their kits. Koster does/did have separate cans, as well. Think the latter were available from Greatmodels. I think the ones I used here are the Koster set; thought they looked/fit a little better. The fit was not too tight, but they look okay. http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal5..._Salerno/07.jpg Agree we could use some B model afterburners and maybe some better fitting A/C models (though the market may not be there.).

Ishthe47guy Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I JUST got the C&H F-101 set a few days ago, along with the F-105B & F-106B sets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Mike, glad to hear you still have the burner cans on the horizon, I will need at least 3 sets just for my current stash. May even get an extra set just for the cause. Anyways, I'm sure your release will be well received. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
