rightwinger26 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 That must be some wind as I have never seen rudders move in the wind either. I've never tried to move them by hand, although I have pushed the trailing edge flaps up by hand after a wash job to drain the excess water out of the drain holes and I know that takes a little effort. I guess on a carrier those winds can get very ferocious. Pushing the TEFs up sucks, that's one of the things that's better on Supers, they don't have to get pushed up to open the 64 doors. You have to move the rudders by hand to get the 71 panels off for the stab servos and the rudder shrouds, or to do a post wash if the rudder is facing the wrong way and is covering the grease tip. It's not uncommon underway to have winds strong enough, no one is allowed on top of the jets, usually when the ship is going someplace in a hurry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfighter 124 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Eating some crow right now on this one, looks like this built up looks much better and convincing enough for me to buy a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Does the wing fold angle in more towards the center? They should be abit over center when in place properly...is this just the initial setup or the molded position it will be in? If it is fixed, would it be difficult to to set the wingfold properly? Edit: It does look really good tho...When do I get one? Edited February 16, 2016 by AlienFrogModeller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Frontal cross-section of the nose between the screen and the radome still looks a bit too square to me... :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Maybe it's been said already, but is this intended to be a series/family so eventually we will see an A, A++ and D model? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Maybe it's been said already, but is this intended to be a series/family so eventually we will see an A, A++ and D model? Yes to the A models, they were actually scheduled to be released first. Based on the part breakdown I am sure there will be duals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MEM A-6E Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Super nice looking! I'll be buying a few. Keep up the Good work Raymond! I'm even more inclined to buy your products because you are willing to interact with us crazy modelers online. I've built your A-6E, Mirage 2000, and F-16 (which I actually like better than the Tamiya kit) and always have enjoyed them. Now, when you get bored, maybe we can get a new Super Hornet.

GMK Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Raymond, any chance of BOL launchers on the A+ models? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 That looks much better, I thought the nose looked too narrow in the images in this thread, the nose looks much bulkier in the Aussie modeler thread. I love the wing fold detail! I was a little reserved before, now I will be buying a few for certain! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Yup, can't wait to get this one. I have some USN markings that I can use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

egmccann Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 After wandering through this thread... My wallet hates Kinetic. Or it did until I showed it the price at LM vs the price at ebay for a Hase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just saw the price posted at LM... if it stays at $40 USD I will be buying several. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
