AlienFrogModeller Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Simple mod, took me about an hour at best to make one mod to a normal pylon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Not always on the 2 stn, I'm not going to say they are not carried on the 2 stn, just saying in my experience 8 stn was a valid position. Not always in war time ops. Sometimes the config for an ac for a specific mission for training and for proficiencies.

Finn Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The Fat pylon could be carried on any wing station, after all it was a pylon, that's it's main purpose. This one: had one which may have been Stn 7 or 8. Jari Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AlienFrogModeller Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Quick look... There is an extra sprue (x3) O (00-112-015) in the kit; specifically to the Canadian Hornet. However I noticed some items to be noted: P (00-112-016) Rear seat goodies M (00-112-013) Dual Canopy Minor issues Typos: Decal Sheet CMpl Pichelle - Should read MCpl Pichelle Instruction sheet intro Step 9 Parts E-105 & E35 not required on the RCAF/RAAF Hornet Part H7 - White inside not med grey for RCAF Hornet Part C18 - should be C28 for RCAF Hornet. Step 19 Part C21 - White - except for the top part exposed to the elements - 35237 top fingers - 36375 underside Great Kit. Just rcvd my 4 yesterday. Wasn't happy I didn't get the shipping deal.

Brad-M Posted December 28, 2016 Author Share Posted December 28, 2016 Thanks for this info. I'm still waiting for mine. Ordered on Dec 16. Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 (edited) Just noticed on Part A8 the inboard L/H flap hinge point foot pad is missing. The opposite side is there on the R/H. Edited December 28, 2016 by AlienFrogModeller Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can you post a shot of the decal sheet, Carmen? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) By your command...the decals look great. I just noticed one grammatical error for MCpl Pichelle - if her name is correctly spelt. Also the over the wing numbers (over & under) are missing. Colin K ...your contacts with Wolfpack...would they be interested in the mod ( we kinda talked about in when we talked in Toon town) for all the single Canadian models? Like I put on my last Hornet build...CF-188735 AETE Edited December 29, 2016 by AlienFrogModeller Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlienFrogModeller Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) LOL...just been to the link provided to the LM FB Hornet build in RCAF Colors - flanker27 thank you...*giggles*...the comment I saw by Colin, no wonder they used the small numbers on the right wing...cuz there is no numbers on their decal sheet that represents the proper size on the Kinetic sheet. It all makes sense now, why they did it. However, I can't stress enough how much I'm having fun building this kit.

Dave Roof Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The corrected vertical tails make a huge difference in the overall look of the kit! Hopefully Raymond and Company will consider re-tooling the vertical tails when they release the Delta instead of re-using the ones from the Charlie kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It all makes sense now, why they did it. That's what I thought. Given all of the references that Rick had probably given them, I don't understand how Kinetic missed something like this. As Brad mentioned, good thing I have Canuck and Leading Edge decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So dropping to 76 probably allowed for that when they upgraded the EW Suite. 410 did have any? do you mean they didn't or did have them all? From my days in 410 Sqn we had enough for the new fighter pilots in training at 410. I can also remember this distinctly as we has up 5 different configs on the go at once during the year to accommodate all the in house courses for pilots. FPC, FEWAR, IPUGs, FOTEF projects and proficiencies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
