Horrido Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Curious if anyone has compared the two offerings for accuracy: Maestro Models: http://www.rebell.com/saab-37-viggen-corrected-nose.html http://www.rebell.com/saab-37-viggen-upgrade.html Dr. Pepper Resins: http://www.drpepperresins.com/72.html Thanks!

doctorpepper Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Curious if anyone has compared the two offerings for accuracy: Maestro Models: http://www.rebell.com/saab-37-viggen-corrected-nose.html http://www.rebell.com/saab-37-viggen-upgrade.html Dr. Pepper Resins: http://www.drpepperresins.com/72.html Thanks! Rebell buys their sets from me, which were mastered by Hoops. looks like they may have just re-casted the casts that i sold them. not sure how i can enforce copyrights on those... but then again, each time you make a mold out of a previous cast and then recast it, you're gonna get about a 2-5% shrinkage. so for parts that are designed to fit closely, especially in 1/72, you might get some mis-fits and steps. we deliberately master our parts slightly oversize to take into account the shrinkage, but that still is no guarantee for success..

Jennings Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Aires must have found resin that doesn't shrink then. None of their stuff fits :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have either of the Maestro sets linked above, but based on pictures and reviews, the Maestro Intakes are not as detailed as the ones I mastered. No idea on the nose cone, it could be the same master, maybe not. *shrug* Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doctorpepper Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 either way, doesn't really matter to me now. good to see you are still kicking, Hoops! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 either way, doesn't really matter to me now. good to see you are still kicking, Hoops! Yeah, with family commitments, I don't do too much modeling nowadays. If its anything, most likely pretty out of the box... Best of luck with the Masters!
