terrysumner Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 All these photos I just posted are not by me...they are by some of the other builders. Everyone is working at their own pace and on whatever area of the kit they chose.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crackerjazz Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 HUbbie Marsten, I can feel your views are softening up : ) Ready to hit the buy button? Those cockpit/ seats and engines are amazing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ya-gabor Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hey Terry, is this a new kit or what??? Who is it from? What scale??? Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Yep, there is some really impressive things happening, that's for sure. The cockpit detail is a little soft compared to resin, but honestly, I don't know if ANY plastic kit cockpits can get any more defined than what they are showing. Maybe Tamiya but I'd love to see those two cockpits side by side. And the seat looks really good. Have no idea of accuracy but it looks "ejection seat-y" enough Edited September 5, 2019 by niart17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afterburner Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) The cockpit and seats look really, really good especially with the PE belts. Cans look great too. Edited September 5, 2019 by afterburner picture ogling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I see that according to the plans, the shape is just fine. Not speculating. Just saying what I see. Edited September 5, 2019 by DIO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Looks amazing. I prefer this over Tamiya -just looking at pictures, dont have either in hand. Let's see what will Great Wall bring :D:D:D:D:D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is not me, but those complaining that suggested this is the best reference. I hope they do not take this back now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terrysumner Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Ok this is my photo. I think it's the area some of you guys have been discussing? Please remember, these parts are only taped together...and kind of loosely... I don't know if this angle is sufficient... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
afterburner Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Works for me. I can round it off slightly and rescribe and re-rivet the lost detail. No complaints. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please remember, these parts are only taped together...and kind of loosely... I don't know if this angle is sufficient... OK, good shot. I still think the curve over the pivot hump and forward is too sharp. Also the stabilizer pivot hole a a bit too low. On the kit it is actually sticking out below the fuselage edge. Should be up a little further. Still think the aft engine fairing is not shaped right. I know these are all nit-picky items to most. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 If we are going to compare the AMK part to the DACO drawing, what about these areas? They don't quite match up. Is it photo angle? Don't know. Looks like the photo was taken directly above. If we are going to make a comparison to this drawing, perhaps more photos? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
