RedHeadKevin Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 But did they fix the jackass way they molded the tailfins/elevators? Nope. Do the aftermarket tailfins fix the dihedral problem on the elevators? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check Six Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Decals for the RAM panels would be nice. One of our very own decal-making members here mentioned that it's a possibility with him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Nope. Do the aftermarket tailfins fix the dihedral problem on the elevators? That might be difficult being that the horizontal stab. and fuselage blend together in that area. I've played with my F-35A and it would take rotating both sections (HS and fuselage area) in order to accomplish that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) I haven't taken a hard look at the resin parts yet. I didn't know if KASL reduced the dihedral on their parts when they released the aftermarket tails. Edited May 30, 2014 by RedHeadKevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 I haven't taken a hard look at the resin parts yet. I didn't know if KASL reduced the dihedral on their parts when they released the aftermarket tails. My comment about excessive dihedral was in reference to the HORIZONTAL tails, not VERTICAL (albeit canted) tails. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedHeadKevin Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I know. That's what i meant. I don't know if KASL corrected the angles on their aftermarket parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 My "finely aged" memory cells only recalled the KASL "tails" as including the vertical tails. I went back and looked at the review of their parts on this site and see it included horizontal tails as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 After playing around with my F-35A, it looks like the HS can be rotated. But sanding and shaping will have to be done in order to keep both the HS and fuselage blended together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check Six Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Has Kitty Hawk released the F-35C yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) Has Kitty Hawk released the F-35C yet? Has not showed up on Ebay; where two vendors (one from HK and one from US) with apparently close ties to Kitty Hawk usually offer their new kits within a few days of their release from the factory. I have an alert set up to let me know the minute it shows up, and it has not triggered yet. Edited July 16, 2014 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Oh; O.K. I'm trying to hold off buying the F-35B in order to get the F-35C. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonrivetcounter Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) The F-35C is ready to preorder at hlj.com and 1999.co.jp in japan. http://hlj.com/product/khmkh80132 Release august. Edited July 17, 2014 by nonrivetcounter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F-16 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Are the horizontal tails still at the wrong angle? Are they supposed to be more parallel to the ground? Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Are the horizontal tails still at the wrong angle? Are they supposed to be more parallel to the ground? Scott CNJC-IPMS Judging from the above pics and my KH F-35A kit, the answer would be, "Yes, the dihedral is still angled a little too high". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
